The way Nigerians celebrate it when a nude picture or some pornographic contents find its way into the social media platforms, especially if the nude or sex video is that of a popular individual or a celebrity points to how Nigeria (that prides herself as one of the most religious countries of the world with a high grossing number of fanatics and sanctimonious individuals) is just a hypocritical society and she is continually losing her moral values.
The sex tape of Oxlade, a 24 years old Nigerian singer has been on top of the trend tables since the beginning of this week across all the social media platforms in Nigeria. Users of the internet are so interested in analyzing the lad’s sex skills and sharing the videos around instead of condemning such act of the talented singer who is always making videos of himself naked or while having sex which always find its way to the internet space, leaked either by himslef or his friends and partners all for fun.
Things like these corrupt the moral values of the society and it is also illegal and criminal when you post or share indecent contents and pornographic videos in the Nigerian internet space.

Different Nigerian legislations criminalize posting and sharing of nudes and pornographic contents in the internet space and it carries severe punishments for the law breakers. The Cybercrimes (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2015, the Criminal Code which is applicable in southern Nigeria and the Penal Code which is applicable in the Northern jurisdiction all criminalizes the posting and sharing of obscene graphics and provides punishments for anybody that engages in such an act.
Section 24 of the Cybercrime Act provides as follows;
(a) Any person who knowingly or intentionally sends a message or other matter by means of computer systems or network that is grossly offensive, pornographic or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character or causes any such message or matter to be so sent;… commits an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of not more than N7, 000,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of not more than 3 years or to both such fine and imprisonment.
Also, Section 170 of the Criminal Code Act which is applicable in Southern Nigerian jurisdictions provides;
Any person who knowingly sends, or attempts to send, by post anything which;
(b) encloses an indecent or obscene print, painting, photograph, lithograph, engraving, book, card, or article, or which has on it, or in it, or on its cover, any indecent, obscene, or grossly offensive words, marks, or designs; is guilty of a misdemeanour and is liable to imprisonment for one year.
These statutory provisions clearly show how much the Nigerian society frowns upon sharing and posting of pornographic contents in the internet space. Internet users who may think that sharing and posting of such contents is just for “cruise” and clout chasing should think twice as they are law breakers who, if caught and charged to court, could be looking at a 3 years imprisonment term.
