Chidozie Ugochinyere, the Nigerian songstress better known as Fave, has revealed that she started dating at the age of 10.
Fave spoke about her first romantic relationship during a chat with her colleague Bloody Samaritan and the film stars Susan Pwajok and Genoveva Umeh.
The 24-year-old singer revealed that when she was in the children’s choir, she started a relationship with the choirmaster.
She added that they had a tradition where he would call at midnight and she found it “cute”.
“He was the choirmaster. It was the children’s choir, so we were all kind of like kids. We would do this midnight thing where he would call, and it was just cute,” she said.
AGE OF CONSENT IN NIGERIA
The age of consent is 18 as established by the Child’s Rights Act of 2003. According to section 277, a child is anyone below the age of 18.
Section 31 states that “(1) No person, shall have sexual intercourse with a child. (2) A person who contravenes the provision of subsection (1) of this section commits an offence of rape and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for life”.
“(3) Where a person is charged with an offence under this section, it is immaterial that: (1) the offender believed the person to be of or above the age of eighteen years ; or (2) the sexual intercourse was with the consent of the child.”
During the chat, the Imo-born singer revealed that she has doubts about her sexuality.
“My sexuality is in question; I am curious. Shouldn’t we all be curious? If you are not, then it is a problem,” she added.
Fave rose to fame in 2021 with her hit single ‘Baby Riddim’, which garnered positive reception and significant airplay on radio and television.
Recently, the songstress collaborated with Davido on ‘Kante’, a track from his album ‘Timeless’.
She has continued to maintain her unique sound in the Nigerian music industry.
Fave’s talent has fetched her multiple awards, including Rookie of the Year at The Headies in 2022 and Songwriter of the Year in 2023 for her work on Simi’s song ‘Loyal’.
