raayah: Addressing the last paragraph of your submission, you seemed to have completely misconstrued the content or theme of my write up. What i mean is that we should do something different from what US is doing in term of justice cos US govt has failed in addressing the same situation. Realistically and going by what i have seen in Nigeria and US personally, crimes in US is completely off the roof compare to Nigeria. The rate at which people are raped and killed on daily basis in US is unheard of; even grandma are not spared in US. I am not denying the fact there are many rape cases in Nigeria but the good thing about it in Nigeria is that the victims are spared to live cos the culprit probably knows that he would not get caught However, I don't pray for this to happen to my 5 yrs old daughter but it's better to have a living daughter than to have a dead daughter; her dreams in life is gone forever. The parents of those victims in US would have preferred to have their children alive instead of their dead bodies if you ask them. In conclusion, America govt has listed the names of sex offenders on their national data and sent thousands of these convicted US citizens to US prisons over the cases of rape but the question is this, has the situation change in US? no my brother. And that is why i suggested that whoever is caught and convicted in Nigeria should be castrated instead of this prison journey.... |

After opening this can of worm ( paedophilia) Its not funny i was almost a victim meself, i was just 6 years old, and this is the first time i am actually making it know to any one (you) i could not tell my parents. They would have killed me, the guy was a family friend The insinuation on how people are dressed/what the were wearing is totally irrelevant lastly i still remember it every day of my life it was horrible i was only 6 year old i applaud you for your effort in bringing this issue to light, please do not be discouraged, it only takes one step to begin, even if its only one 6 years old will be saved. It will be worthwhile 3 Likes 1 Share |

otiigba1: Really sorry about your experience. I know that parents needs to be sensitized on how to care and watch out for their children. Most people shy away from discussing $ex with their children especially in the rural settings so I guess that's another aspect to tackle. Thanks for sharing. And please watch out for little kids in your vicinity too. 1 Like |

otiigba1: It is not about me, but about me and you and everyone reading this. The men and women who sexually abuse others esp children should desist and have a change of heart Adults/Parents should be vigilant and begin to talk to their children more. Young people should watch out for little children around them, let's try and discourage others who love to touch and pet children in the wrong places( while pretending to play with them) If you know someone around you who is a rapist, pls call one of the numbers listed in the first page of thread and report or report to decent elders around you( you can do this discretely) We can fight this evil together, all we need to do is to be vigilant and to act as good examples, whilst directly or indirectly fighting for the rights of our women and children. 1 Like |

Freemanan: No one said your mouth oozes oh.. People just pointed out to you that indecency is just a fraction of the problem here. Ladies who dress indecently deserved to be raped? Is that what you think? Do you honestly feel that if all ladies begin to dress decently, rape would stop? If that is the case, how do we dress our little kids and toddlers who get molested? How? The little boys and old women too? How do we stop these rapists from thinking that women/girls/children are sexual objects that should be abused and defiled? Freemanan, what can you do in your immediate environment to sensitize people about the stigma and effects of rape. To educate young ladies on decent dressing, to watch out for little kids and keep them out of harms way. So, what are you willing to do? Or what do you think can be done? 1 Like |

A sexual offender's desire to prey on a victim doesn't just occur in an instant. It's something that is developed as a result of certain factors that have been in play, especially in the formative stages of that individual. Every sexual offender has a beginning. There were factors that led to him going on to commit such sexual crimes. And I am really interested in these factors and I believe when we know and understand these factors, we can deal with problem at the root stage. I like to classify sexual offenders under three categories. 1)You have those that act or commit crimes out of hunger for sex or due to the fact that they are being deprived of sex. 70% of Rapists in Nigeria fall into this category and most times, they commit these offenses just once or twice before they are caught. 2) You have those that commit these offenses out of impulse and need To them it's has become a habit. Probably they did it the first time and it worked out and they just constantly find themselves doing it again. For them it's easier than having to wait for permission or having to pay for sex. 3) This is a category that most Nigerians tend not to pay cognizance to. This class involves those sexual offender that commit these crimes for PLEASURE. Because committing these crimes excite them. Their sexual constructionn have been channeled to associate violence and pleasure. To them it isn't even a crime, it's more or less a fantasy. It's their fantasy. It's what their body craves. Raping, humiliating, abusing, causing pain or even killing their victims is what gives them the highest form of sexual gratification there is. And most times their means for sexual gratification is termed as weiror abnormal Sexual sadists, necrophiles, sado-masochists, pedophiles and erotophonophiles fall into this category. *********** The family as we all know is the center of development as far as a child is concerned.. It's were a child's primary characters are developed. It houses a child's formative years. It's where a child is groomed and it's were a child learns to perceive the world in a certain way The family has a major role to play in the formation of every sexual offender. Especially the violent ones. Every child is born with a distinctive personality and psychological make up. When a child grows under a certain family environment, that environments have a way of acting on these psychological make up and personality of that child and in turn translating it into something different and most times, dangerous. I am a male, so I will use a male child as an example. When a "psychologically and emotionally" stable male child approaches puberty, he begins to develop sexual feelings for the opposite sex. All these feelings involve morally acceptable sexual behavior. Behaviors that are in the classed under the spectrum of normal. But if something happens along the way, between infant hood and puberty or adolescence, this could have a drastic effect on that child. He could perceive things a whole lot differently. Now what are those thing that could happen along the way that could change a normal child into a monster. These are the factors I would like to elaborate on. One important factor that plays a crucial role in the lives of potential sexual offenders is ABUSE And like I always do, I will divide Abuse into different classes. First of all, you should also understand that there is the abuse inflicted on a child and the abuse witnessed but these two forms of abuse affects him differently. Abuse inflicted on a child can also be divided into three classes 1) Physical Abuse 2) Psychological Abuse. 3)Sexual Abuse I am not going to go into all these forms of abuse but one thing is certain, most sexual offenders suffer one or more of these forms of abuse while growing up and it affects them psychologically and tunes their minds to think and perceive things in a certain way. I am not saying that everyone who suffered one of these forms of abuse, grows to be a sexual offender, No, but most sexual offenders suffer from these forms of abuse. But I am more interested in the "Abuse Witnessed" and I will throw light on that. Children raised in abusive homes have a higher probability of becoming sexual offenders. Especially sexually abusive homes. If a child grows up in a home where his mum is always abused by his dad, either physically, sexually or emotionally, he develops the wrong mindset as to what women are and the role they serve, especially to men. He begins to view women as objects, as possessions and as less of the humans they are. He begins to see women as lesser beings than himself that he can manipulate and use. And as he grows, that mindset grows with him. And unconsciously, the desire to act out those scenes he had seen on another woman would be developed. Another factor is exposure to this abuse, through the media. The rate at which children and teenagers are being exposed to violent sexual content these days is alarming. I wish most of you had an idea of what teenagers these day have access to. Especially on the internet and on paper. Exposure to graphic sexually explicit content has a way of altering the minds of kids at a young age. When a child is exposed to such sexual content at a young age, even at teenage age, they experience an unconscious mental shift in their perception of what sex should be like and how it should be experienced. In addition to all this, i also believe if a child isn't shown enough love, attention and care while growing up, especially on the part of parents or guardians, it could lead to that child not being able to form close relationships and personal attachments with others, and as the individual grows, he finds it hard to bond with people around and this could lead to isolation. and in loneliness and isolation from others, certain thoughts could develop in the mind of that individual. Because the person finds it hard to form or participate in an active relationship with the opposite sex, which could also be a sexual one, he sees these forms of sexual offenses as his only means of obtaining sexual gratification.( Although this normally applies to the third category of sexual offenders I stated) So in this isolation and most times anger, he imagines these crimes( which are often violent) over and over again until it begins to become a fantasy. And one thing about fantasies is that it can never be reached and it keeps evolving over time. So because of this, he would have to repeat these crimes over again so he can attain that level of gratification he imagines in his fantasies. Such a sexual offender doesn't need to see a girl dress indecently before he decides to prey on her. He doesn't need to see her expose some parts of her body before the trigger to abuse her is ignited. These kind of offenders already have a particular type of victim that meets their fantasies. Even if she wears mary amaka clothes, he will still attack her. So the only way to curb this kind is to deal with the issue is from his formative stages. And since one can't point out a child who is going to be a violent sexual offender when he grows up, the best is for parents and guardians to avoid the allowing the child to grow under such environments and conditions as I mentioned above. ********* NB: These factors I listed aren't just the only factors that can lead to the formation of a sexual offender, but they are the major ones. And if parents can tackle them, it would go a long way in curbing these sexual crimes that might occur in the future. Cc Standd 1 Like 1 Share |

Sabrwahaqqo: He could be a serial sexual predator. Suppose he spends 5 years in jail and is released to continue where he stopped? Who knows if he would have killed the child after to cover his tracks? Or is there a ring of abusers that he is a part of? Thorough investigation is always crucial even when it appears glaring. |

standd:Come on! Stop talking like these kids don't have parents almost all the rape victims I've heard of of late live wt 'em parents. Prevention is better than cure, let parent take extra care of their wards and pay extra vigilance also. Let the penalty for anybody either attempting to or is caught in the act of raping esp a minor be subjected to stampede judgment courtesy mobile courts. .. We can start from here. Its however worthy of note that rape can't be wiped! It has survived generations and civilizations but of course, it can be controlled to the barest minimum. |
