UK based Nigerian medical doctor and humanist Ijabla Raymond, is really
angry with Nigerians over their reactions to the recent leaked s*xtape
of Miss Anambra,
Chidinma Okeke’s s*xtape. Read his unbelievable message to Nigerians below…
Chidinma Okeke’s s*xtape. Read his unbelievable message to Nigerians below…
one of those moments I feel ashamed to be a Nigerian. I don’t understand
why there is so much hysteria about the leaked s*x video of a private
citizen.
In my opinion, this should not make news at all. There are far too many
sanctimonious and judgmental people who take it upon themselves to be
morality police in this country. They pontificate on how sinful s*x is
yet they seek out the leaked s*x video and all forms of p*rn on the
internet.
The morality police turn a blind eye when prepubescent girls are given
out in marriage to men old enough to be their grandfathers but as soon
as consenting adults engage in premarital or same S*x they start
twitching.
How is it anybody’s business what two or more consenting adults choose
to do with their bodies if they are not hurting a third party or forcing
you to have s*x with them?
Do you want something really worthwhile to talk about? Do you want to
talk about something that every decent person should be angry about? I
will give you it.
Only this month, the Emir of Katsina reportedly married a
fourteen-year-old girl, assaulting her dignity and innocence in the
process but our society hardly took notice. Child-bride marriage is so
common in northern Nigeria that it is considered a normal way of life.
This is a matter that has serious consequences for the lives of young
people. It should concern every citizen because it destroys the lives of
our children.
It stops girls from going to school to get an education, which in turn affects their prospects of getting good jobs and becoming financially independent later in life.
These
girls are more likely to develop abnormal connections between their
v.ag!na, bl@dder, and rectum during childbirth, which then causes them
to become incontinent of feces and urine. The resultant malodor very
often leads to isolation and social ostracism or even divorce by their
husbands who simply marry the next child-bride. It stops girls from going to school to get an education, which in turn affects their prospects of getting good jobs and becoming financially independent later in life.
It is a lot of psychological trauma for anybody to deal with let alone a
teenage mother. These young mothers end up begging on the streets when
their elderly husbands divorce them. Sadly, their children are left to
the mercies of hostile step-mothers and may end up as street beggars
just like their unfortunate mothers.
The evidence shows that children born to educated mothers have better
outcomes than those born to teenage mothers with no education or job.
When you educate a woman you empower the whole family and by extension
the society.
Look around, and you will notice that the most progressive and affluent
societies in the world are the ones that have educated and empowered
their women.
It seems to me that the Nigerian society is confused and has its
priorities the wrong way round. Why are we angry when adults (married or
not, g!y or straight) engage in consensual s*x but turn a blind eye
when children are r@ped by adults in the name of tradition?
As a secular humanist, I do not look to any religious book or gods for
morals. I apply reason, common sense, judgment, and empathy in
decision-making.
If two or more adults engage in consensual s*x and this does not harm
anybody then it is none of my business. Period! I think our
self-righteousness and propensity to be judgmental come from religion.
Islam and Christianity condemn h0m0s*xuality and consensual s*x between unmarried adults but are silent on the matter of pedophilia.

Catholic priests have gained an ugly notoriety for s*xually molesting
young boys all over the world. The prophet of Islam married a
prepubescent girl when he was in his fifties and many Muslims cannot be
persuaded to abandon this practice.
Despite unparalleled religiosity, our society is one of the most
decadent in the world – we are almost always near the top of the list of
the most corrupt countries in the world.
Many Nigerian children endure years of s*xual abuse by close relatives
such as uncles, aunties, cousins, house-boys, house-girls or family
friends. To think some of these perverts are now sitting in judgment
over Miss Anambra and her friend is nauseating and out rightly
hypocritical.
