Twitter Users have begun to share stories of what they were doing when they aged seventeen.
The discourse became a big deal when @UgwunnaEjikem warned guys to avoid sexually mature ladies that were below the age of 18.
In a viral tweet, he wrote:
Avoid her genitals if:
She is 17 She is in 400L but 17 Has the body of a 30yr old but 17 Is a big Twitter influencer but 17 Reasons like a 35 year old but 17 Finished her PhD but 17
Legal age for adulthood is 18, u can literally get arrested for being intimate with a 17yr old.

Taking his followers on sexual orientation class, he told them that sexual consent can only be obtained if the participant was 18 contrary to unfounded rumours pegging sexual consent to the age of 17.
Miss me with the "consent is 11 years in Nigeria" bullshiii...

@DrOlufunmilayo went further by running a thread on the matter. She explained that a jail sentence was awaiting sex offenders who sleep with 17 years olds. Boys or girls.
She tweeted:

This led Twitter users to start sharing what they did at 17.

Anyway, I’m still interested in giving you the Best Shoes. RT if you should have one pic.twitter.com/Wnt01F27Rv
At 17, you should be chasing a good CGPA and developing your potentials not looking for someone that will give you orgasm.

Things going wrong here
But some of them started a family at 17? And this is normal to you? It’s right in your eyes that a 17 year old is starting a family? You were once 17, why didn’t you start a family? https://t.co/no106gem73
