DIfferent ages of consent for different countries. This is interesting.
Could it be because of different life expectancy?
USA
Life expectancy = 78 years
NIGERIA
Life expectancy = 46.8 years ; age of consent = 13 years
Also, some statistics about AIDS in Nigeria:
In Nigeria, an estimated 3.1 percent of adults between ages 15-49 are living with HIV and AIDS. Although the HIV prevalence is much lower in Nigeria than in other African countries such as South Africa and Zambia, the size of Nigeria’s population (around 138 million) meant that by the end of 2007, there were an estimated 2,600,000 people infected with HIV.
Approximately 170,000 people died from AIDS in 2007 alone. With AIDS claiming so many lives, Nigeria’s life expectancy has declined significantly. In 1991 the average life expectancy was 53.8 years for women and 52.6 years for men. In 2007 these figures had fallen to 46 for women and 47 for men.
Despite being the largest oil producer in Africa and the 12th largest in the world, Nigeria is ranked 158 out of 177 on the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Human Poverty Index. This poor economic position has meant that Nigeria is faced with huge challenges in fighting its HIV and AIDS epidemic.
