Singer Dija advocates for a change in the age of consent in Nigeria which is 11

Mavins singer and mother of two, Dija shared a post on the current age of consent in Nigeria which is currently 11. This is according to  Nigeria Age of Consent and Statutory Rape Laws.  The law states that:

“the statutory rape law is violated when an individual has consensual sexual contact with a person under age 11 year”.

Dija thinks something must be done to this law which is not good enough.

She wrote:

”Just going to drop this here and hear your thoughts …. We have come a long way, we have advanced beyond comprehension in a short amount of time, music, lifestyle, agriculture and are still growing. That being said there are some areas I believe needs more attention and this is one of them.
There are many ways to go around this issue but the best one is to go through it… This isn’t a fight against religion, tribe, gender but a redirection of our energies and thought processes to protect the ones that birth your nation. If children become psychologically, physically and emotionally damaged before a certain age all you will have are adults with suppressed memories of abuse, which lead to psychological mind ware-fare.. #saveme

The easiest way to destroy any nation is by creating fear rather than respect.

The child of today isn’t the child of yesteryears
