Nigerian musician BankyW has reacted to the viral video of two men who said that the way 5-year-old girls are dressed could lead to them getting raped.

The men made this shocking speech during an interview with Lolo of Rave TV.

They said 5-year-old and 7-year-old girls are sexual beings and should be dressed properly to prevent being raped. Read more

Lolo tried to make them see reasons why their statements were wrong but they stood their ground. Various celebrities have reacted to the interview/ video

Read what Banky W had to say:

“This is one of the most disgusting videos you will see this year.
THIS MINDSET is the problem, and the guy said, “how is a child not a sexual being?” ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?
A 5 or 7-year-old child and you have the guts to talk about bum-shorts?!?!?!?!

“This is the real mindset of way too many men in Nigeria. This is why 1 in 4 of our girl-children have been sexually abused.

“And some of our boys too, we have a lot of behaviours to un-learn.

“The idea that it’s not the fault of a sick, twisted, perverted individual who commits the sexual abuse/offense.. but that it’s somehow the fault of the victim because of an outfit.

“We just engaged with the Mirabelle Center about their treatment of sexual abuse victims.

“They’ve treated over 4,000 patients (all free) – but get this, their youngest patient was a 3-month-old baby girl.. and their oldest was a Grandma in her 70’s!!!!! We have a mindset that must be wiped out entirely.

“This is not okay, not sure what tv program this is, but that these 2 men could actually CONFIDENTLY make these statements shows just how terrible some of us think.

“For the sake of our children and our families… Everyone should speak out against this. Everyone.
#HerStoryOurStory #ChildAbuse #endGenderBasedViolence.”

This was Banky W’s reaction to the viral video of two supposedly educated men defending the sexualization of 5-year-old girls.

This is coming barely a week women protesting peacefully against sexual harassment at Yaba market were verbally assaulted and stoned.
