Revenge pornography is the online distribution of sexually uncensored images or videos of another person without consent and to cause embarrassment or torment. Victims of revenge pornography suffer significant harm, including losing jobs and, in extreme cases, committing suicide. The public blames the victim for the role they played. Rather than victim-blaming, victims deserve a takedown order and criminal liability for uploaders of such images. This study adopts a doctrinal approach; it examines key statutes and their interpretation by Nigerian courts while juxtaposing it with the law and practice in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom was undertaken as a case study because it has a developed jurisprudence which can provide lessons for Nigeria. This study found that the current state of laws in Nigeria is ill-equipped to tackle the menace of revenge pornography. The objective of this study is to offer insights on the prevalence of revenge pornography in Nigeria and suggest legal solutions to address this phenomenon. It canvasses for a non-consensual pornography provision that would criminalise the act of revenge pornography in Nigeria. It also makes a case for cyber-censorship of contents by internet service providers and the need for third-party liability.

报复色情是指在未经同意的情况下在线传播他人未经审查的性图像或视频，并造成尴尬或折磨。报复色情的受害者遭受重大伤害，包括失去工作，在极端情况下甚至自杀。公众将受害者归咎于他们所扮演的角色。受害者不应责怪受害者，而应为此类图像的上传者下达删除令和刑事责任。本研究采用教义方法；它审查了尼日利亚法院的关键法规及其解释，同时将其与英国的法律和实践并列。联合王国作为案例研究进行了研究，因为它拥有可以为尼日利亚提供经验教训的成熟判例。这项研究发现，尼日利亚目前的法律状态不足以应对报复色情的威胁。本研究的目的是提供有关尼日利亚复仇色情盛行的见解，并提出解决这一现象的法律解决方案。它寻求一项未经同意的色情条款，将尼日利亚的报复性色情行为定为犯罪。它还为互联网服务提供商对内容进行网络审查和第三方责任的必要性提供了理由。
