Should Serial Rapists Be Castrated? Ireti Doyle Tells Us What She Thinks

Following the trending reports of rape cases in Nigeria recently, ace Nollywood diva, Ireti Doyle, has aired her thoughts on this scourge that has become prevalent in the society.

The talented actress said:

“In Nigeria, as in almost everywhere in the world, I do not think that rape cases are handled properly often times. What makes it worse for us in Nigeria is that in advanced countries, they have strict laws and most times, the law is enforced and justice is done.

In Nigeria, we have laws in place but are they enforced as they should be? I don’t think so. But I am happy that there is a lot more conversation about it. People tend to think that rape is on the increase but I don’t think so; I think it has always been a part of our society but you are hearing a lot more about it now because people are talking about it.

That veil of secrecy has been removed and the more we talk about it, the more we blow the whistle against the offenders. Eventually I think we would get it right. We need to put stronger laws in place and enforce them and justice must be done.

When you hear about a law that castrates rapists, you may think it is extreme but when you think of the ripple effect, the damage that rape causes not just to the victims but people around them, you might want to rethink. I think that the punishment should be hard especially for repeat offenders.

Maybe if you are a first time offender, the law might give you room for rehabilitation but if you are a repeated offender, they should cut off your  manhood.”

Speaking of her ageless beauty and grace, the star shared some of her beauty secrets with Saturday Beats and one of them is that she has learnt the art of ignoring people.

“I look this youthful due to the grace of God. Like I always say, to look youthful, you have to rid yourself of negative energy – be it people, situations or circumstances. Whatever you cannot control; let it go. I shut out negative comments by simply disregarding them.

Although it sounds easier said than done but I am middle aged and I have learnt the art of ignoring people. I cannot help anyone who has a misconception about me. The onus is on the person to come closer and try to discern whether I am a snub or not.

Thankfully, the few people that have had the opportunity to come closer see that there is much more to this very cold outer look. I am too old to start trying to please everybody. I can’t please everyone; all I can do is to be myself,” Mrs Doyle added.
