Episode 08 | Online Sextortion Is Real — Protect Your Digital Dignity

“What you send online can be used to trap you — protect your digital dignity.” Today’s episode features Teen Advocate Nifemi, raising awareness about a growing danger many young people face but rarely talk about — online sextortion. He shares the story of a 14-year-old boy who was pressured into sending a private image, only for the same person to threaten: “Give me more or I’ll post it online.” What started as friendship became fear, shame, and manipulation. Nifemi reminds us that online abuse is real abuse. Sextortion destroys confidence, mental health, and safety — and it happens to boys and girls alike. Legal Truth — Cybercrimes Act (Section 23): Online exploitation, blackmail, or coercion is a criminal offence. The law protects EVERY child — disabled or non-disabled, rich or poor. 📞 Report Sextortion Immediately JCTC (Cybercrime): ‪+234 916 834 3706‬ | ‪+234 916 834 3707‬ 📧 [email protected] NAPTIP (If sexual exploitation): 07030000203 | 627 Your body is not blackmail material.
