Damn e dey piss for her mouth0

The yeey "tool" she should have bitten hard on, to teach him a lesson he'll never forget.
Nonsense!

What exactly is his offense? Since the girl is up to 16, Nigerian law allows the parents to give her out in marriage while natiive law allows betrothal even as a baby.

Anunakeeh:

Make una rest on female matters negodu.
A sixteen year old girl is already an expert.

...come be girl from that side?!

This Northern people own too much

Poverty Induced Marriage ( PIM )

More than 20 states have legalized underage marriage in the US. Is it poverty induced also?

Nobody called the ethnicity and the religion. The height of Nigerian hypocrisy. If this was a Muslim from d north, we wouldn't have heard the last of it. Well.... D hypocrisy is glaring

I tell u, whatever the igbos are insulting the hausas for,they are also doing the same

SoNature:
I like this! More of that!

na hunger naaaa

Pity the man

Obi's people. Hunger has turned people's head upside down.

watsonclyde:
That's so bad. But truth be told, if it's in the North, the man won't be arrested cos it's a normal thing over there.

It north are still living in 1600 . So such things is not a big deal over there......the backwardness in the north is incurable.....coupled with hypocrisy

But in the South it is ......

And Nigeria was almost set on fire because one girl eloped with a man from the north that year. You would be asking yourself that, are these not the same regions where most of their underage girls are in baby factories making babies for the buyers?

What have you (govs, elders, youth and women) been able to do about the baby factories that are everywhere in your region? You don't agree that getting married is by far better than being put in baby factories?

I actually thought everybody is a billionaire in Anambra? Hahahahaha. Is this not worse than Ebi n pawa that the fools shout about? Or if not ebi what is it? What a shame!

So okoro too de give the likes of 2 or 7years for marriage..
Tru true they are from Israel lineage

Chinjo2:
Same country different laws.
Meanwhile in the north, 12 years old are being given out in marriage.
I want the law to be extended to northerners too. Anybody who gives his daughter who is less than 18 for marriage should be arrested.

The law that has failed to curb the baby factories in your region over the years. Northerners are by far better than you guys when it comes girl child protection.

If na north do this thing, we no go hear word.

Bullfallo:
I do not believe this. Igbo man will not give under age daughter to marriage. The daughter is lying and might not be happy or in support of the man he married to. That is the problem here. No father will be happy that is daughter is been maltreated.

The daughter is lying about what?
So who gave her to the man she married?

I wonder how this is news, many Igbo here should go ask their mama, they'll give them out at the age of 14-16



How will a young teen like that imbibe manners in her new born child when she herself is still struggling to have one, the result is what you see on Nigeria online space with them abusing people older than their fathers

SonofElElyonRet:


18 is the age of consent in Nigeria.. go check marriage act, child rights act etc. Granted that this is sometimes contravened under the guise of religion and culture. The law however is the law... have sex with a girl under 18 and commit statutory rape punishable with life imprisonment in Lagos state

Ok

16 years is due for marriage, and she is even lucky the husband is 34, which is okay.

Interesting.
Doesn't this happen in northern nigeria every weekend?

Dronedude:
Fool of a father that said they should pray he dies in prison if not when he out he will make life more miserable for her not knowing that he has brought up another case that could buy him more time in jail.

By the time he gets out, those kids would have made it, he will now start begging them and asking people to beg them on his behalf. Now the sad part about this whole story is that, female children are soft at heart, they will forgive him easily and even care for him in his old age!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

All I see here is poverty

Upeeeh oo

He probably doesn't have a lawyer. If he does, he can't go to prison for giving her hand in marriage. There are however other allegations of abuse against him. Those allegations are damning as well.

Unfortunately the husband is an abuser.

There is no underage in marriage in Nigeria. Even in Lagos. The Lagos marriage act also allows that a father can give marital consent on behalf of his daughter who is below legal age. Lagos State Marriage Act Section 18.

So everyone that speaks the truth about the North is automatically an ignorant person. I always see the hatred you people exhibit towards the Igbos and I'm like, WTF is wrong with you guys. So let me educate you a little. I'm not from the East and I'm not Igbo. I'm a typical Yoruba man but I don't hate any tribe or judge them so stop this rubbish Lad.

Your post is extremely irresponsible and gross misinformation.

The marriage act actually says 21 years and the consent of parents is required if the person is below 21 ! The marriage act states that the consent of the person getting married is necessary and by law anyone under 18 can not consent to marriage.. it follows therefore that parental consent to marriage of a below 18 person is vain immaterial and indeed criminal. you are nothing but an ignorant person capable of causing great harm with your misleading post . It creates the impression that you are most likely a paedophile since I can't fathom why anyone would argue in favour of marriage to a minor

Nothing would have happened if it happened in the north.
Fulani Republic of Nigeria.

Likely because of money issues.
