in this first part of a two-part report examines the ordeals of Nigerian teenagers whose sex tapes are uploaded to porn sites by sly lovers
Still visibly shaken from the trauma, the distraught teenager sat on a bench by a waterfront, overlooking a compound in Lagos housing a tree with scanty leaves. Folu said she and a neighbour, whose name she gave only as Atanda, 24, started dating in December 2019, a month before her 15th birthday. The duo, who met on social media, started out a friendship that, according to Folu, was not defined but ‘had a lot of benefits.’Asked about how she got entangled in the web of pornography, she said, “Atanda told me he liked me during one of the evenings we met. Before I knew what was happening, we were kissing and it ended in lovemaking.
“One day I got a message from one of my friends to check out a link online; what I saw when I opened the link made my heartbeat stop for a while. It was as if I was dreaming.’’ She told our correspondent that she decided to confront Atanda with her discovery only for him to say, “Oh! So you saw it?” and hung up the phone.
Linda said she sought to get Atanda arrested but, at the time, Folu refused to cooperate with her, and warned her not to involve her parents. She added, “I hide behind a veil whenever I come out so I don’t get recognised by anyone who may have seen the video. I deactivated all my social media accounts and barely used my phone. I can’t even stand my parents face-to-face. When they call my name, my heart skips. It is traumatising, I must say.
Amid the international interventions on protecting the child and forging a better world where young people can thrive, there are still rising statistics of sexually-explicit content of Nigerian minors scattered all over the internet. Comments from Nigerians craving to have the similar experience with the minor were observed. Some of the commenters asked the content host to provide them with some contact information on how to reach the teen amateur porn actor.
On the one hand, there is the set of teenagers, like Folu, who have no idea that their sexually-explicit contents are online and are being monetised by some hosts on x-rated websites. There are those who knew they were being filmed but did not know it would be hoisted on these sites and monetised. Also, there are teenagers who go into the trade of their own volition for financial reasons.
Hmmmm
Where the tape dey?
