Is that a crime ?

Yes it is ma'am . . .She's still a minor @ 16 . . .I was thinking same just by reading the headline not until I went into the story

Tightpussy2024:
You can have sex but don't have the money to take care. Later they will say women should be held able for their actions.

If this girl was just 2 years older,most men on this forum will start bashing her for being a single mom and be telling her to be able and why did she open her legs

Meaning they will be telling her that as an adult, she should be responsible for her actions. This is normal

She is 16 years for God sake? She is not old enough to give consent. That is rape and that my friend is a crime

Danisaint112:


You just had to involve his whole tribe as pro-tribalist you are. Meanwhile, what you just said is the total opposite.
Igbos are the only tribe that rejects crime of all kinds even if it's there brothers. They hardly sit in face of crime. Reason some say they don't love themselves.

There was no indication that he was referring to Igbo people na, is this guilty conscience or what .

It's you guys that are reinforcing the stereotypes, if you had just ignored, nobody would know who he was referring to.

kingthreat:


16 years old? You know how many 16-year-olds are already fuccking? You think they are fuccking their mates or their juniors?
You that is talking, if a 16-year old girl seduces you, shey your preek go shrink?
As far as I am concerned, it statutory rape should be from under 15.

SMH thank God your concern is irrelevant. So of all things, your concern is to be able to legally sleep with children. I pray your daughters are seen by men with this same mindset once they start having budding breasts. Say amen.

Donate your own Sister if you think it is not

Calitoscassius:
So how is that police matter? Is it a crime to impregnate someone in Naigeria?

Why can't many men stay off minors

Errr... Not quite, because in the northern part of Naigeria i hear grown ass men marries 12 years old minors with their ignorant achaic parent's consents, some kinda muzlem religious crap.

Tightpussy2024:

So that you people will pregnant 16 years old. Walk away very free and leave the girl dented for life then still come online and be shaming unwed mothers.

You are very sick

It wasn't rape. At 15 a young girl becomes sexually active most especially in this age of widespread debauchery in our media? Or did you start growing gray hair before you had a man on top of you? I am not for the man abandoning the girl. He should take 100% responsibility. But jailing him won't make her life any better.

patchsk:

Must you be stupid and uncouth to answer an innocuous question?

Go and ask your father if you have one.

Wetin concern police for this kind case? He rape am ni?

Law does not care about our feelings. It's statutory rape because she is a minor.

Simple and short.

Section 31 (3) (a) of the Child's Rights Act 2003 states that, “Where a person is charged with an offence (of unlawful sexual relations with a child) under this section (31 of the same act), it is immaterial that the offender believed the person to be of or above the age of eighteen years.”

BABANGBALI:

It is statutory rape.

As the law puts it well

The real age of consent in Nigeria is 18. Section 31 (3) (a) of the Child's Rights Act 2003 states that, “Where a person is charged with an offence (of unlawful sexual relations with a child) under this section (31 of the same act), it is immaterial that the offender believed the person to be of or above the age of eighteen years.”

Yeah, and the North is suffering a lot of problems as a result.

Plus, not everyone up North s the thing (one Northern Local government offical once went on a rant against child marriage to a daily trust reporter...it was as if he forgot he was being interviewed , lol.).

Say that to the Northerners marrying 15 year olds this weekend as we speak.

Don't matter if the babe enjoyed it...law is law.

Law does not care about anyone's feelings.

What about the 'statutory'

Was she raped.

Igbos are the only tribe that rejects crime of all kinds even if it's there brothers. They hardly sit in face of crime. Reason some say they don't love themselves.

They don't mind shaming and beating their brothers and elders in public if they have to.
Unlike some people that believe that improsonement by elders is very okay and once they commit a crime it's their sole right and Shouldn't be a condemned because they are elders forgetting that even fools grow old.

Those are the kind of people you spit on. Reject hypocrisy in your life.

greenermodels:
na tribalism go kill you prematurely in a gruesome manner. You don't even know the tribe of the person that you responded to but you have already allocated Igbo to him so you can insult your generation while failing to adequately answer his question.

chigator2:

It is obvious he didn't read up the news and assumed from the title that the in-law was a consenting adult but that simple logic flew over your ewedu guzzling head and rat scratched face that you had to resort to your animalistic baseline of tribalism and name calling. Coming from someone from a place where they mine skulls I'm surprised how yours is still intact with this brand of idiocy.

Everyone is now Igbo to these afonjas

slowice:
how do you know where he's from? What's with you people and this silly bigotry your throw around at random.?

lightwind:

What if this person is not from that SIDE ?? That he's just a Nigerian from different place not from the EAST. So other Nigerians on this faceless forum can't say or write how they feels again ?

I ask again, is Nairaland forum now for only the Igbos and the Yorubas ??

I said those who criminals, I didn't mention any tribe. You all assumed the tribe. That is your problem.

Well, we know the people who were sad when Policemen killed kidnappers in Lagos. There are posts here on Nairaland where they claimed the kidnappers wee innocent and simply tortured and killed.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Makes a different not everyone s it..


well... He probarbly isn't in of the practise hence his rant.
