34% of Nigerians believe indecent dressing is main cause of rape

The NOI Polls, which is an opinion polling and research organisation, established by the current Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and named after her, yesterday released results from its poll carried out in January 2013, in commemoration of the International Day of the Girl Child.
NOI Polls revealed:
“In order to commemorate this event and honour the girl child this special day, NOI Polls Limited released one of the polls we conducted in the first quarter of the year 2013, which was focused on the challenges faced by the girl child in Nigeria and indeed the world over as a result of the incidence of rape among women in the society. 
34 percent of the participants believed that indecent dressing was the main cause of rape in the society; 18 percent believed unemployment was the cause; nine percent believed it was caused by lack of moral values and another nine percent believed it was caused by the inability to control sexual urges; seven percent said it was caused by faulty upbringing. Five percent of the participants believed rape was caused by illiteracy about women’s rights, ungodliness and bad company.

    1. Yes, I think I support that too, indecent dressing is the Major cause of rape today. Have you ever heard of the Latin Maxima:-
      "Erectus Penitus non Conscientus" meaning, " An Erect Penis has no conscience". So, sometimes the ladies just bring it upon themselves with all their assets dancing everywhere. (˘̯˘ ). There are oda factors too, but as we know, Men are moved by what they see, and Women are moved by what they hear.

    2. Rape has nothing to do with sexual attraction. Rape is an act of violence,hate and domination..
      However decent dressings shows u are a woman of enourmous drink,courageous and a woman with values.

  5. This isn't a national case. Let everyone control their own eyes.

    Although, it's pretty disgusting seeing dark or fat-striped body parts exposed. Some people need to learn to dress.

    Why would anyone want to rape a half naked person? What's so new about thighs and falsies? I don't see people raping mad women or men along the road.

  6. No be Naija people, they will never put blame where it should be. Indecency causes rape, availability of excess funds leads to corruption.A woman that gains weight is the cause of her loose husband. The husband that has fallen on hard times is the cause of his sugar daddy chasing wife. It has nothing to do with lack of discipline and self-control.

  7. The way girls dress these days...I just pity for prostitutes. Their customers cant identify them again.

    But then, we should also blame the men who can't control themselves when they see a lady dressed promiscuously, if asked, every man would claim they can never rape a lady whether they see her dressed raunchily or not, so we should blame the dogs of men who can't control themselves too.

  8. Its not an excuse,but indecent dressing contributes in no small measure.

  9. Not to go with the majority but I think they kinda have a valid point considering how conservative the majority of Nigerians are.
    Women still get looked at in "some kinda way" when they wear certain types of clothing...what we fail to realize is that the word "indecent" is quite relative;what you consider indecent might be the direct opposite to another.
    However,I think to a large degree,the major reason for rape would be the inabilty of men to control their sexual urge(s). I mean,a man who has strong moral values and has been able to subdue his sexual urge would hardly get turned on when he sees a woman in "indecent clothes".
    But then again,such men aren't easy to come by,are they? If that's the case,then maybe the women should bend a little and reduce the "indecency" in their clothing.
    Fact is,real men don't rape...only cowards do.

    I totally agree.however, paedophilia(which is another form of rape)can't be traced to indecent dressing. Ladies,please be less daring in this "show my flesh" competition that is the vogue now.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Because there are no laws protecting women and child from molestation and any form if abuses.... Such heinous acts are condoned. Even in "normal" societies "molestation" still occurs.

    In places like Nigeria where there is no rehabilitation or counseling support for ra.pe victims...victims after such trauma has no where to go or find support. It sucks.

    Most ra,pis,ts in Nigeria don't go to jail, they get bailed out or nothing ever happens to them. It sucks! Ra,pi,sts spread STDS and HIV. Its very sad.

  22. I am not trying to make excuses for rapist or supporting them in any way but i kinda agree with this poll. You don't go about dressing provocatively and expect people not to react. Everyone is wired differently if you can control yourself the person next you can't. At the end of the day they are just humans, mere mortals not supreme beings. So if we can dress more decently I think it will go a long way #IMO

  28. That might be a contributing factor, but anybody who has rape in them will rape a woman irrespective of what she wears. Yes some women dress provocatively, but that isn't an invitation to have sex or rape her. Rape is in the mind and head.

  31. I dnt believe indecent dressing is the main cause of rape because most of those that gets raped are not people that dress indecently. In more developed countries where the level of indecent dressing is really high,the level of rape cases is quite low.the main cause for me is lack of public safety and secuirity in the country.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think lack of morals, cos nobody no matter how indecent they are wants to be raped. If the girls have morals, they'll dress decently and if the men have morals, they can resist temptation.

  34. It's typical blame culture of Nigerians. Nobody is accountable for their actions , it's always the devil caused it or in this case dressing of a woman. So how come the mad woman walking around naked is not chosen for rape activities. A rapist is a weak, coward that cannot control his animalistic instincts. A born basterd whose male organs control his brain. The only person worse than a rapist is one who would blame the victim for the rape.

  37. And this are the same people that will one day be presidents and law makers.in Nigeria,Africa,we blame everyone and everything for the wrongs we do.so,what's the poll for theft,kidnappings,terrorist attacks etc.a rapist is a rapist.dont blame someone else for your lack of respect for others.so what's the explanation for those filthy men that rape children.what excuse is most suitable for brothers/cousins that rape their own siblings.the list goes on.i know it says 34%,but that's too high a figure and this depicts our society and where we are.this is the reason why rapes go un reported.simply because it is my fault for wearing a mini skirt.

  39. Rape is mostly caused by indecent dressing,cus a man sexual moral gets high wen he sees a lady half naked,u can neva get attracted (rape thought) to a lady in her long free gown or skirt or even trouser,dis kind girls for dis pics re so ready for rape.

  47. Baloney!!!

    Baloney!!


    Up until 50 years or so ago, most if not all of our grand parents were living BUTT ASS NAKED!!!

    Was rape this rampant then???


    NO NO NO!!


    People always complain about how we copy the worst things of western culture but never mention that 'this skimpy oufit' excuse used to justified rape, is one of them!! It was imported from the west, with clothing in most part!!



    If skimpy outfits are the cause, how come women were walking butt naked then and were not massively raped?? How come women still get raped in countries like Afghanistan, Iran???



    So men could control themselves back then, why cant they do the same now???




    If there is anything INDECENT about rape, it is the comportment of rapists who feel intitled to women's bodies and the dirty mentality of misogynists always trying to control women' body and sexuality!1




    A woman could be walking naked, that gives NO ONE the right to abuse. Nakedness, is NOT an excuse for rape!!! It doesnt explain, justify bla blah ..... rape!! LOOK AT FACTS AND OUR HISTORY!!!


    People rape because they are sadist with no self control who think they are entitled to others' bodies and enjoy inflicting pain. It is so sad to see how we have regressed as a people and think that our grandmas were safer while living naked than our women today!




    Isnt the very definition of a civilized person the ability to control oneself?? What to say of a people who men are losing their self-control and feel justified in doing so??

    Isnt this savagery?


    Have men suddenly become savages with no self-control?


    Stop justifying REGRESSION and BACKWARDNESS and the sexual degradation and exploitation of women and stop raising men with no self-control!!





    If we start living our lives by the rules of rapists, we will have to cover ourselves from head to toes, not go outside, basically relinquish our rights as WOMEN but most importantly HUMAN BEINGS! This already happens in many countries yet women are not safer there because misogynists always want more!! Do you remember this story Linda posted few months ago about a woman in Iran who won an election but some men were saying she was unfit because 'too attractive' and her beauty would distract men and lead to unmoral things??? Do you remember that??



    When we try to excuse rape by blaming the victim for her clothing, her behaviour, instead of focusing on the rapist, we are slowly creating a environment like that, were simply being attractive or a woman, even if you are fully covered, is a CRIME!!



    I dont want that to happen to my people!!! Actually I think that things were better when we naked, we didnt have this dirty puritan mentality and the superficiality of fashion!


    Women do WHATEVER you want with your body, wear short as short as you want, because it is YOUR body!! If someone feel entitled to abuse you because of the way you dress, please FEEL ENTITLED TO STAB THEM REPEATEDLY because of they way they abuse you.



    No excuse for rapists, only death!Bye!

  54. there is no justifiable reason for a guy to rape a girl, I don't care if she is walking the street naked or if the guy has been jobless for 80 years of his life. The only reason that will make a guy rape a girl is if he lacks moral values and if his generations are cursed right from his mother's womb. Bullshit, I can believe Nigerians encourage rape by saying its coz of the way girls dress.

  76. Anyone that believes rape is caused by indecent dressing should be checked. Because a lady is walking down the street and dressed in what you as an individual marks as indecent does not take away her fundamental human right and give you permission to rape her. Rape is caused by hypersexual men or women that can not control their sexual drives. Period

    No matter what, a bitch will always be a bitch, and not all women dresses like bitches, though a significant number of them does acts like bitches because that is what they really are.

    Even New York Police Department will tell you that if you dress and walk like a BITCH, men will treat you like a bitch and that might include you being slapped around and raped.

I'd much rather go with Lack of moral values and inability to control sexual urges! .........Any man who is well brought up will respect women and never force himself on one..............Sex is supposed to occur when two adults BOTH CONSENT! ....a Rapist has no regard for women and on top of that can't control his urge...........we even have some despicable ones that rape children below 10 years......who will now tell me that the 8 year old child dressed indecently????........ As is written "the heart of man is desperately wicked"......hence different kinds of evil abound! ...... In Nigeria, women hardly report rape incidents due to fear of stigmatization, Ostracism, and shame.....we need stiffer penalties for rape, and women have to be enlightened, so they know thier rights and have courage to report to appropriate authority when molested.............

  111. Inabilty to control urge is still the main reason, although there are other contributory factors the rate at which children below age 10 are being abused even by close relatives is terrifing I work in an hospital setting... Its pathetic

  112. I think the main reason is still inability to *contol their urge*(rapist) the rate at which children below age 10 are being abused sexually*even* by close relatives is pathetic, or do this kids to put their boobs on display?

  113. Nigerians and ignorance. Let them go to other countries and see what is called indecent dressing. Men can't control themselves bcos of how d media has portrayed women, and women are to blame for accepting to participate in suggestive shows. This is just d beginning. Nigerian girls don't dress indecent, some of them are just too endowed to ignore.

  115. This makes me sick to the pit of my stomach. It just goes to show nigerians and their level of development so no surprises. Like all under developed countries on earth women are second class citizens next to the ape like men. Therefore any crime committed against the woman is always her fault. There is no reason on earth to rape a woman. Even if she walks naked. Na you get your thing. Not the thing get you. So control it.

  116. Rape is more likely to be due to a sad lack of self-control by the rapist and widespread corruption in law enforcement and the administration of justice. The end result is a culture of impunity that emboldens sundry criminals who can come up with the money to buy their way out of the punishment that they richly deserve.

  121. Yes, I think I support that too, indecent dressing is the Major cause of rape today. Have you ever heard of the Latin Maxima:-
    "Erectus Penitus non Conscientus" meaning, " An Erect Penis has no conscience". So, sometimes the ladies just bring it upon themselves with all their assets dancing everwhere. (˘̯˘ )

  123. You don't expose your money in transparent suit-case or leather bag flaunting it around and expect not to get robbed or even mobbed. Nuff said. While it's imperative to stress that every guy is expected to be disciplined, Indecent dressing in an indecent location around indecent guys will only result in a descent to an indecent outcome vis a vis, rape.

  128. For some people indecent dressing causes rape... For me it's just lack of self control and some mental instability but either ways girls should know that dressing indecently won't do them any good..for a party that I understand,but occasionally,now that's a problem.personally no girl I will be engaged to will dress in such manner.... When you show the whole world your package tell me what's left for your hubby?.

  134. That's probably 34 percent of twisted minds, n perverts. Our society has taught their sons to rape bcz dey itemize females.. Nothin to do wf indecent dressing.. Every comment anywher involvin females either has whore, or bitch as description.. Even if dts wat Ȋ̝̊̅† is, what we're U̶̲̥̅̊ taught at home? Why shud ladies be scared of guys dey grew up with? Of takin walks alone? N den men will excuse Ȋ̝̊̅† abi? Its nt abt sex, its abt power..power dt their sleazy slimy low self esteem cnt let dem attain.. Very unhealthy masculinity. Tho indecent dressing on its own is wrong buh why do we stray frm d point? D very young females dt get raped r indecent too abi? Rubbish!

  138. I believe if you feel it's the major cause then you are one of the people encouraging rape.when the devils are done they'll say "she was indecently dressed".I ask is that enough reason? What of those all covered up and still get raped? How about the young children and babies that get raped? Are they indecently dressed too! Pls let us not be stupid and keep giving the animals an excuse for this monstrous act.half naked or not no woman should be raped.what is wrong is wrong regardless.pls be wise,lets nt teach our male children dt once a lady shows a lil too much skin it's okay to rape her.and consider that what is indecent to u is just okay to the next person.we are not retarded in this country we are fully developed homo sapiens.this monstrous act should be condemned no matter what

    ReplyDelete
  139. It's a contributing factor.. Some people just have that urge.. It doesn't manifests until a half naked bofoon walks down the street and claims she's a fashionista,then the whole intention of rape begins to evolve.. You mustn't be naked to impress men.. Indecent is indecent period it's not sexy it's not classy...

  141. No is not. i bet the 34% are the judgmental women who don't like to see minis them girls are wearing. I'm not into indecent dressing. Rape is mental disease; Is sickness; Lets call it what it is and stop looking for someone to blame.

  142. People looking for excuse to be beasts...
    A rapist is a maniac. Simple...
    They aren't different from people suffering from one form of maniacal tendency or the other like kleptomaniacs, etc...
    Maniacs just cant find genuine reason for their sick proclivity...
    For me, they are possessed!
    How do you explain the rape of a two year old girl child???
    How did she seduce you???
    The rape of a 7 year old???
    The rape of an 80 year old, wrinkled, flat-chested grandmother, etc???
    The stories are everywhere..
    Rapists are even found the most in countries like Pakistan and India were violence against women is recorded the highest..
    And there, women practically move around all covered up to their eyes in purdah...
    The high rate of rape against women in Nigeria is explainable far beyond dress mode..
    Rapists will always be rapists unless reined in by an efficient criminal justice system..
    They would, however, always find convenient excuse for their despicable, maniacal tendency!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  143. Take it from me..
    Rapists are maniacs..
    Two, they are men suffering deep-seated and desperate inferiority complex!
    You don't take the pictures of two ladies at a nightclub and tag it, "Nigerian women are indecently dressed..."
    That is disingenuous, to say the least!
    Why don't you take the pictures of women in office settings or in churches, etc and splash, "Nigerian women are indecently dressed...."
    A nightclub, to all intent and purposes, is a place men and women are seemingly permitted to dress and act slovenly...
    The occasion determines dress-sense...
    Our people should grow up and into the century puleeeaaaasssssss!!!

  147. Rape is an unnatural response. It is not a solution to a problem. Am a man I cannot understand how one can get sexually arose from a hostile vagina. Sorry to be crude. But am going to break it down. An arose vagina is wet and welcoming it s part of the pleasure. A vagina that is not ready is dry , infact it is a weapon on its own. But there has to be something very very wrong in your head to get pleasure from a forced situation. How can you justify dragging your prick on boney dry flesh. Abi your prick is made out if leather, you no dey wound. So naked flesh gets you arose. Reach out for the Vaseline and do a DIY job on yourself. A real man respects women. A rapist is a flawed mentally sick individual who has no respect for himself or others.

  148. Why don't they just blame women for being women. Rape is not a right. We need to focus on educating the male Off spring of some idiots on how to control themselves. Train your children. Their rights end when it starts to infringe on another persons rights. So what is decent dressing. Who draws the line on what is decent dressing. Even if a woman covers up from head to her little toe , maybe her feminine voice will be a reason for the rape. Ignorance is of satan. For me and those who realise that the victim is not the cause of rape, may our children never meet with those that believe that the victim is the cause of rape. Let those idiots keep breeding with themselves until they start raping their own mothers and their sins will wipe them off the face of the earth

  149. its surprises me that even NOI will have such an unrealistic research published in her name...the only reason is lack of self control as a result of insanity and if problem is not checked those people making this assumption will get a taste of this horrible pill. Indecent dressing is not a cause of rape in any case rather allowing rapist to go unpurnished is the major reason. I am sure thier kids dress this way but they protect them with thier filthy names, high walls and armed securities.

  150. @blessing , be sure to walk around with a man everywhere you go. Even the dirty slippers on your feet is enough to cause a rapist to attack you oh. And it will be your fault for wearing dirty slippers to attract the prick of a poor rapist.

  151. Rapist, no need reason. All they need is the sickness in the head, the justification, which in Nigeria has already been given, a victim , old mama, their own mama depending on the level of the sickness, small pickin, woman or man infact dead or alive as long as orifice is available .That's all. Indecent dress Ke. The rapist has already undressed the victim in their minds. What excites them is the atrocity. I watch a programme once when they interviewed a rapist and according to him he could never get an erection from normal relationship it always had to be rape.

  152. Rape is an ungodly act, if a lady is dressed indecently simply get disgusted n turn away , but when d rights of women are not upheld n a man knows he will get away with it, he'll do it. If so many gals have been raped, so many guys are rapists too! Even some LIBers!Pls let's stop this act!

    The after effects on the lady isn't pretty, d flashbacks n other reactions, you wouldn't want your loved ones to go through! Pls men help protect ladies n don't be the one to destroy her.

  159. I would like to know the exact questions asked and how the sample group were selected. Any researcher can manipulate figures to serve an agenda.

    Since this is about the Girl Child,
    the babies/ toddlers being raped are dressed as babies/ toddlers

    the many little girls being raped whether in their homes, in school, or on the street while they sell in traffic are dressed as little girls

    the many muslim women raped during wars are not just decently dressed but are properly covered with perhaps just their eyes in view

    Yet oddly enough the naked mad woman is not gangraped, neither is the semi naked female prostitute. how is this so?

    Rape is about power and domination over a woman.

    At the most basic level it is ultimately humiliation.

    We live in a patriachal society so this things are always blamed on the female victims even by females but watch how even more crazy, psychotic and evil these rapist are becoming, soon it will be the turn of our boys or men to be raped and worse in their anus..then the story will change.

  160. Linda you are an independent, well to do, beautiful, adult, career focused single female and therefore a figure for disrespect by our culture, I am surprised you didnt give a stong disapproval to this kind of statement in this article as you do to other trivial issues like best rapper.

    Biko to me maleness and rapeism go hand in hand. i'm deeply sad and disgusted. there can be no unity when men or women wish depraved horror upon their mothers (yes those raped will bcome mothers) based upon their dressing. there can be no LOVE when black men use THE INSTRUMENT OF PLEASURE AND MANIFESTATION THE DIVINING ROD as a weapon of mass destruction.

    and when we talk about the rapeism by African men we are called bitter and angry and man hating. but THIS SHIT can fly without a WORD.

    A rapist aint crazy, he is a MAN doing what MEN DO to try and assert POWER AND AUTHORITY over Powerful women.

    AIDS infected Men in south africa rape babies because they believe their innocence will cure them of their disease!

    we need to discuss the inherent rapist in the African male collective. because this isn't about being drunk or clothing being too revealing or being in a dark alley. this is about a MAN expressing a DESIRE for a woman to be destroyed. to be assaulted, to be beaten and degraded, to have her soul split, to fragment her being.

    Our IGNORANCE to what rape is, perpetuates this sickness. this is a very REAL element among African males supported by ignorant women. it is a depraved debase part of them that is REAL and ABUNDANT in this country
