Nigeria is such a strange place. Matters that are black and white elsewhere take on a coat of many colours in Nigeria.
For instance, it is quite clear, more so with the evidence presented, that a sleeping person cannot consent to sex. In Nigeria, it isn’t. So tweets like these sampled below abound.

I am still looking for what it is he did that Tboss was not aware of. It didn't look like she struggled with him https://t.co/zO8c0zyXqj

If sexual harassment has to be aggressive before you see the violation of a person, their body and their dignity, that is unfortunate. https://t.co/amZGSMuRUE

Was she violated? Yes!
Did she give consent? No!
Anything else that happened after that is out of unwarranted persistence.#BBNaija— Akin Akíntáyọ̀ 🏳️🌈 #European (@forakin) March 5, 2017
So much of our cultural schooling leads us to default into masochistic victimhood that we don't know when we have been abused. #BBNaija

Dumber
You slept on the same bed with a guy that isn't your brother and you expect him to sleep without touching you? Smh.

I will train my daughter not to show a man her breast or any private part, and be in his bed if she'll not want to have sex him. #BBNaija

You are implying that men can't control themselves, and that society/women shouldn't expect them to. This is untrue and barbaric. https://t.co/BlykBuu3oR

Beginning to seem like this hypothesis about #MenInSuit on DPs has small sense. https://t.co/3q76xvSwDq

Train your son not to touch anyone without consent, no matter how many breasts or "private part" he sees. Train him not to be an animal. https://t.co/oaTpZzTcjd

Substitute working for ‘sleeping’, office for ‘house.’ Victim blaming is most insidious tool of oppression.
