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.

    I think all of the points are the causes of rape in Nigeria. But the major cause is indecent dressing cos when the eye sees its is difficult 2 erase that image that has been stored up in the mind. Girls shd be mindful of the way they dress so as not to be victims of this malicious act. When u dress decent, a decent man will come 2 u, either 4 committment or marriage but when u dress exposed and shameless, expect ur kind of person that is a shameless man to approah u and thw only thing he wants is 2 have fun and move on 2 the next shamelessly dressed girl. So lady be wise.
