Nigerian Singer And Mum-Of-Two, Di’ja, Makes A Shocking Find About Nigeria’s Age Of Consent
The recent social media uproar over the marriage of a minor in Anambra state to a mentally unstable man, may have led Nigerian singer and mum-of-two, Di’ja to curiously take to the search engine giant, Google, to find out about Nigeria’s statutory age of consent, and the result is shocking.
Di’ja’s Google search shockingly revealed the consent age in Nigeria to be pegged at 11, which is a complete shame. According to the singer, the information if correct will mean that children are exposed too early to adult emotions which will likely scar them for life.
If that law has since changed; but is not reflecting on the search engine, it only goes to show the total disconnect between our leaders and us as a people.

Read what the singer wrote below:
”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
#childrenboysandgirlsI need a lawyer to help me understand maybe I’m missing something. Also if the law has changed then it should be updated on google!”
