RE: Age of consent vs age of marriage: theoretical or practical laws?
My favourite niece is 14 years old still in secondary school, her dad recently got her phone as a birthday gift, and ever since we've been chatting on a daily basis. Now, she recently told me of her ex-boyfriend (I almost had a heart attack) who she had to call things off with because she is preparing for her Waec exams.
I honestly got a taste of what it means to be a parent, because this is someone I fed as an infant, and here she is almost a lady. Now how will I react if I find out that she is sexually active - a definite heart attack.?
And I think that is why your post is quite important to me because it delves into the reality of sexual activities in minors. Hate it or love it, whether the law backs it or not, it's going to happen if it is not happening already, and learning about information like this post acts as shock absorbers when we eventually stumble on the portholes of reality!
This is the sad truth about Nigeria. Things are getting worse and the stature of those girls nowadays are not helping. The parents are knlg doing their best. In the end, it all depends on the mentality, training, and upbringing of the child
