Tweets like the one directly below are proof that many Nigerians need extra lessons on the concept of consent.
Excuse me @BBNaija Is Kemen a lesser being?! Why is he being disqualified for something TTT is doing and getting away with #BBNaija

First, the alphabets
Spell it with me:
C for Cat
O for Ogbono
N for Nope
S for Snake
E for Egusi
N again and
T for TTT.Got it? https://t.co/fEBvOYGR44

Second, these people CANNOT give consent
This thing is fairly simple: If he/she can't say 'No', then he/she can't say 'Yes'.
— The Runner (@je_mc2) March 5, 2017
Think sleeping, inebriated, etc
Third, it is not automatically fluid
Consent for a back rub or massage is not consent for touching while asleep. Consent doesn't flow from one situation to another. Ask again.

Consent is not transferable, folks. Consent has to be renewed per moment and per act. If it isn't, and said act continues, it is harassment.

Four, it constitutes grounds for legal/criminal action
So i just explained to my 16year old nephew what kemen did nd the next thing he said was… "is he not supposed to be arrested?" #BBNaija

(See section 257(b); Chapter 25: section 262 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos state. See also section 224 of the Criminal Code Act Laws, 2004)
Five, an awesome rule to live by
You are saying the opposite of what you are trying to say.. key is if she says no.. stop https://t.co/sSt1iwo2x9

In summary
A summary of consent:
Two single people – NO CONSENT until it is GRANTED ad hoc
People in a relationship – Consent is assumed until REVOKED— Sugabelly ? (@sugabelly) March 5, 2017

The gains of #BBNaija
We have abandoned serious national issues for #BBNaija. Everyone is talking about Kemen and TBoss or what's that her name. So sad.

Well, thanks to the show, we are talking about sexual consent. It is a serious national issue. https://t.co/pfWs10puUX

If the only thing #BBNaija could do is teach Nigerians about sexual consent, I'm all here for it.

Finally, when in doubt, this is how to act.
Last night I was drunk, my friend carried & tucked me into bed – He didn't rape me.
If you hang with rape apologist that won't be the case
