#To hell with that bill. Any man that tries that rubbish with my daughter in future, i will bury his balls in the next 24 hrs. Lol, but am serious.
Crime against Underage girls is as worse as same-sex marriage or relationships! Those fools should put theirselves in the position of those illiterate people who claim its their right and imagine themselves being intimate With their 14 year old daughters! Pedophyles

Asari Dokubo, why are you always on the wrong side? When you are not exhibiting your Niger-Delta affinity with GEJ you will be supporting an unserious man called Yerima.........why not live your beautiful Islamic name - MUJAHID? I hope you are aware of the saying attributed to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) denying anyone as not being one of his ummah who put his alliance first and foremost with his kith and kin other than the Muslims. Assalm alaikum ya Mujahid Asari Dokubo, barka Jumma and happy Ramadan.

It's our problem, those girls are suffering terribly, we cannot just sit back and relax because Christians are not involved, what's happened to our conscience? Like Albert Einstein said: the world would not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything. It is our responsibility to make sure this nonsense is stopped!
Then, go national assembly and stop them or kill yourself when you see a lady (being under age in your belief) marry someone, infact i dont know why some of you think upside down.

Take what is good and leave what is aweful...a lady has the right to be happy in marriage. Moreover,@ dat age,she is nt capable of making gud judgement.

Alh. Asari Dokubo in Muslim garb

A prominent Niger Delta Muslim, Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, has lashed out at critics of the moves by Nigeria’s Senate to approve under-age marriage.

Expressing his opinion on the issue this morning, Dokubo, who converted to Islam as an adult, insisted that it is the right of Muslims to marry or give out their daughters at any age they wish, adding that this is not the business of non-Muslims.

Said the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF) leader through Facebook:
“People should learn to respect other people’s sensibilities… We Muslims have the right to marry when we want or give out our daughters at any age we want. It is not your business and the law must respect our right to do so.

Anything short of that is an infringement on our rights. We did not ask you to marry ladies of that age or give your daughters out in marriage at that age. Plzzzzzzzz respect our sensibilities.”

News Express reports that the Nigerian Senate has come under fire from outraged Nigerians and the international community after being convinced by Senator Ahmad Yarima to drop a constitutional amendment outlawing marriage to girls under 18. The former Zamfara State governor who once came under fire for marrying a girl believed to be aged 13 had argued that Islam recognises under-age marriage.

Issues pertaining to religion usually evoke strong reactions in Nigeria, a deeply religious nation that has Christianity and Islam as the dominant faiths.

when my christian class maate once told me that her father and mother are doing marriage in Church then, that she's inviting me, i was confused! I asked what marriage again? After they had already given birth to you and all ur siblings? Or they divorced and wants to re-marry? When she said it's the first one, i could'nt help but burst into laughter and im wondering til today which type of Religion this is. Self made!!

Look at that lovely Princess below, is she not beautiful? now tell me, why will any grown man want to besmirch her on the ground that his religion permit or allows it, this is gross abuse against the Nigerian girl child & on this squabbled ground.

thirty: it is better to give out your daughter for marriage at a tender mature age than to allow a pastor to de-flower her.

i assume u are a muslim. Now if my assumption is true then i av this to say to u; rather than lashing back at non-muslims, i tink we muslims shud put our house in order..... For a muslim to say an UNDERAGE MARRIAGE is allowed in islam shows he knws notin about marriage in islam. I tink the best way to avoid this kind of criticism is for us muslim to practice the real islam. SINCERELY, assumin i knew the so called muslim b4 knwn islam, i doubt if i wud av bin a muslim mysef........

Just by viewing clips of this man speaking, no question he has mental health issues.

In a more advanced country, he would be sectioned. He is an example of Foday Sankoh.

nigeria has many uncoutable probems nd none of them is early marriage. As a matter of fact, early marriage is the solution to half of our problems. For those who wonda whether one can give his daughter in marriage at the age of 9 or 13, i tell you, most honestly, to me, i can give my daughter in marriage at d age of 6 if i want to and its not any of your business... This is because am a muslim and i follow d example the best of mankind, Muhammad(SAW).... In islam, Marriage is not all about sex, it is about family and achieving their goals, which is the attainment of paradise. In islam, a girl can be given out in marriage as early as 6years old but consummation of marriage can only be döe when the girl becomer physically mature and she gives her consent to it becaure un5ike english law, it is not permissible for a man to rape his wife in shari'ah Law. So, wot can ayb6dy tell me? .... I live in a society where young girls at the age of 12 have already bec6e serial fornicators and cannot count d mumber of men they have had sex with. I live in a society where primary school children disvirgin themselves behìnd toilets on valentines daya. I live in a society where young girls flood the str3ts at nights løking for men that would give them N500 TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM. I LIVE IN A societ where parents send their daughters overseas

I am a Christian, but I dont see how this is right. Where is your service to your fellow man, even the Bible says Love your neighbor as yourself. This issue could affect someone you know tommorow. Because it doesnt affect you today doesnt mean there wont be consequences later.

BTW:
This is wickedness, most of these girls lose their right to become something in the society tommorow as they are giving away for marriage at their formative years. May God help Nigeria.

May i ask you your meaning of UNDERAGE or UNDERAGE MARRIAGE. I said tender mature age which means immidiage puberty age. my brothers and sister in islam let realised that there are millions of new problems/diseases in the world today, the solution to it is the SUNNAH of the Prophet Muhammed (SAW). The other poster said his mum married at the age of 16, can you ask him what are problem(s) of his mum after marriage. But ask the diseases that attack those who have late marriage. HIV, JILT, LONELINESS, SUICIDE, HOPELESS.

My brother, it is all about understanding.

There is nothing as good as that as far as Islam is concerned. Defiling young girls between 6 and 13 years that is rampant in nigeria today and marrying underage girls, which one is better? marrying underage girls does not mean that their husbands will start having sex with them immediately they get married (get that into your skull). This will close their eyes to and prevent them from abomination such as dressing indecently, adultery and fornication. It is a pity that many people will kick against this because they have preference for adultery and fornication instead. Alhamdulillah I am a muslim. smiley smiley smiley smiley
