Why do people not read the article before they make their comments? They end up asking stupid questions and comment out of context. Must they say something?

PAGAN 9JA:



[size=16pt]HEY HEY SHUT UP!

whats the problem here? are they causing harm to anyone? is it affecting the Nations economy?

this is just symbolic ritualism. it doesnt mean the boy has to consummte the marriage or he has to live with her.

it is based on oracular consultance to keep forces at bay.

i have seen similar cases take place in Asia, parts of Africa,etc. .

the woman is happy about it, the boy is happy, her husband and children are happy. so why is it bothering you?

the child clearly stated that he will marry someone of his age once he grows up. you dont need to worry for him.[/size]

U dey tell ur papa to shut up? All these small boiz of these days sef? I can see elders don't grow in ur village. >:

( angry angry I only called on u, cos i knew u'ld be in the best position to explain this oracle stuff.


Lastly, am not worried for the child, am worried for u, and i'ld advice u to do same too.

Image123: foolishness remains bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it FAR from him. They need the Gospel in that community.

hahahahahaha

so what if he is small boiz? he has no brain of his own? the oracle stated so and he is following it. it is no big deal. its like a symbolic union to appease a bygone spirit of the ancestor.

you don't need to worry about me. worry about your nation.

Could the ancestors have wanted a white wedding?Were they conversant with white wedding?

remecy: It bafos me that people still believe in ancestors in this present generation. I wish them well and hope there will be no kids involved.

It's not a believe, it's tradition. Why do people still believe in kings and queens in this modern age?

That's why they are too backward in all areas of life because if given the opportunity, they will all return to the days of their ancestors and live in like manner. Too bad for the 8-year-old victim....

Can't help but wonder what their legal system is like over there, cos the state should have intervened on normal grounds.

specialguest:
Wonders shall never end! I can bet this kind of bizzare wedding cannot take place in Nigeria without the women's society and other groups kicking against it ( i trust my country).. I find it totally delusional that a grand mother would actually 'marry' a kid young enough to be her grand child all in the name of satisfying some idols.. Poor boy he may not know gravity of what he has gotten into.

Of course, the same way you believe that your fellow man, whom your ancestors never saw, died on the cross for your sin. A typical example of how myopic some people are: questioning others cultural relevance while being soaked in your own delusion.
