Uwayemwen Osagie, 32, also attacked another girl in a busy restaurant after plying her with booze.
Osagie met his first victim when she was with friends outside a takeaway in November 2013 and one of them recognised him.
He suggested that they go back to his house for drinks and got a taxi with them.
Once there he offered to give the victim a tour of the house whilst the others went to the shop.
He showed her to his bedroom before he locked the door and raped her.
During the attack, the victim’s friends returned and began banging on the door as they heard her cries but Osagie was not deterred.
Then in January 2015, Osagie met a 16-year-old girl in a restaurant in Bolton with a friend and began speaking to her.
The two exchanged numbers and the following night when the girl and her friend missed their bus home, Osagie offered to pay for her to get a taxi if she came and met him at the restaurant again.
They obliged and went to the restaurant where he encouraged them to drink whiskey, even becoming aggressive when another man tried to intervene.
The girl asked Osagie to order her a taxi home but he said he could not hear her due to the loud music and took her to a quiet corner of the diner where he sexually assaulted her.
Osagie of Holmeswood Road, Bolton pleaded guilty to one count of rape and one count of sexual assault and was jailed for 129 months by a judge at Bolton Crown Court.
He was also ordered to sign the sex offender’s register indefinitely.
Sopeaking after the hearing, Det Con Michelle Holland, from GMP’s Bolton Division said: “Uwayemwen Osagie, or Prince as he regularly introduces himself, is a depraved predator who targeted young people without a second thought.
“We are pleased to be able to say that he has now been sentenced for his horrific crimes against vulnerable girls and I hope this will help give his victims some form of closure.
“I would like to pay tribute to them for the bravery they have shown coming forward and also thank them for the support they have given to help take a dangerous man off the streets of Bolton.”
A man has been charged with the sexual abuse of two girls aged 15 and 16 in Greater Manchester.

The surname Osagie is derived from the Edo language, which is spoken by the Edo people in southern Nigeria. It is a combination of two words: “osa,” meaning “God,” and “gie,” meaning “to send.” Therefore, Osagie can be interpreted as “God sends” or “sent by God,” signifying a divine connection or blessing within the Edo culture.
