A Nigerian Lady s-exually harassed a male onion seller from northern Nigeria, and recorded a video of it.
The lady was seen in a video holding on to the onion seller while se-xually telling him she wanted to have s-ex with him.
The man resisted her, but she continued with the harassment.
Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says the notion that victims or potential victims of s-exual harassment are architects of their fate, especially by their attitude, dressing or willingness to be in a compromising place with their violators is wrong.
Osinbajo was quoted in a statement in Abuja by his aide, Laolu Akande, to have expressed this view on Wednesday at a webinar on Anti-S-exual Harassment.
The theme of the webinar is, “Finding Safe Spaces for Female Students in Nigerian Universities,” organised by the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife.
The event was based on the book authored by notable journalist and former presidential spokesman, Mr Olusegun Adeniyi, titled Naked Abuse: S-ex for Grades in African Universities.

The vice president said the idea of blaming a victim of s-exual harassment should be resisted in every situation.
“The victim must always be seen as the victim; there cannot be an excuse, especially given the power configuration between students and lecturers, that the victim could have somehow invited the abuse upon themselves.
“ I think it is an important consideration to be made and we must not allow that notion to persist.

He said that there was also the comparison sometimes made between demanding bribes for service and s-ex for grades.
According to the vice president, people will argue sometimes that a bribe is a bribe and there is no reason why the punishment for se-x as the currency of the bribe should be stricter than an ordinary bribe.

Osinbajo said developing and adhering to a set of ethical codes of conduct for conversations and interactions involving lecturers and students in universities would greatly address the problem.
“To ensure that both faculty and students are sufficiently clear about the issues and rules, there is a need for a code of conduct or ethical guidelines based on best practices in appropriate student/lecturer interactions.
“It is important that these are clearly defined in ethical guidelines that are contained in some documents that people can refer to and see.
“It is important both for the lecturer and the student that there is some reference to some code of conduct,” he said.
Osinbajo also recommended the adoption of a mandatory well thought-out whistleblower process, emphasising confidentiality, professional legal and medical help for victims or potential victims.
Dignitaries, who also spoke at the webinar besides Adeniyi, the Guest Speaker, included the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
