Hypocracy, they no protest for the thousands of child and teen pregnancies and abortions, but because concern islam and the north, its became a bashing thing, in our world where culture and understanding differs, proper explation is needed for clearance on such issues, in islam purberty equals maturity, and a girls who was physically and mentally capable of bearing a child is elligeable to be married even if she is 13 yrs old, and u bashers ar just echoes of western opion and not ur own geniun opion

lertee: I can join in the protest if only other things will be given top priority by nigerians,let us first call for the increment of the salary of an average civil servant over that of a political office holder,poverty has remain the primary source of every bd thing in nigeri. The truth is no rich man will give out his young daughter in marriage to any man. This law is definitely for the poor and not for ppl that are rich.
Why do you keep crying for salary increase? Before the stu.pid government increase your salary, they would tell the whole nation, and before they implement the new salary price of items would have increased too....
Our problem is the legs that wear the shoe, not the shoe, what we should do is cut off the legs that wears the shoe.

Men and Breathren all these are signs of END TIME.

2 Timothy 3:1-7
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the TRUTH.

This causes division, even between family members.

We have husbands killing wives, children killing parents, children killing friends and others.

We even have young mothers killing their babies ... So they can party.

Alas ... These are truly signs of the "END TIMES."

HomoSexual, Gay, name it:

But, we are then given a promise of HOPE by Jesus ...

I just wonder if we would ever get the voice of our religious leaders on issues like this...a lot of bad happenings in d land in recent times...I have read about under age girls being violated a thousand and one times and now this coming from the peverts we called leaders....and our religious leaders will stay mute on issues that portray moral decadence but visit state houses and host political leaders on issues only them can ascertain ...God is indeed watching all of us in 3D

I really do not understand my people anymore, what exactly is the protest going to be about? Nigerians are easily swayed by emotions so much so that they protest and fight without even understanding the issues at hand. The senate never passed any law legalizing child marriage, the section of the constitution in question is one dealing with renounciation of citiznship. This is the section in question;


Section 29 of the 1999 Constitution says:

1) Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation.

(2) The President shall cause the declaration made under subsection (1) of this section to be registered and upon such registration, the person who made the declaration shall cease to be a citizen of Nigeria.

(3) The President may withhold the registration of any declaration made under subsection (1) of this section if-

(a) the declaration is made during any war in which Nigeria is physically involved; or

(b) in his opinion, it is otherwise contrary to public policy.

(4) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section.

(a) “full age” means the age of eighteen years and above;

(b) any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.


From the above, I do not how the above relate to child marriage or child bride.

The keyword is the bolded section which states for the purposes of subsection 1 of this section. This simply means any woman who is married is deemed to the of full age for the purpose of renounciation of Nigerian citizenship. It did not specify when a child becomes a woman and it definitely did not specify an age when a female child can marry, drink alcohol, vote, drive and any other age restricted activity.

Even if senator yerima feels this section validates his child marriage to a minor, it does not, because I assume the age of marriage is specified by another law.


So the question we should be asking is at what age does a female child become a woman and at what age is a woman allowed to marry in Nigeria. Also what age can a person able to sign a contract and be held responsible for their actions.

These are the relevant aspects of the constitution we should be debating and not at that age a woman can renounce her citizenship.


In addition, the law itself is very stupid and irrelevant. does it mean a nigerian woman married to a nigerian can renounce her citizenship or it refers to a nigerian woman married to a foreigner? I beg I need a learned person to educate me on the practicality of this subsection of the constitution as it relates to women.

I dont get this, does it mean these Senators aka Yerima/paedophiles find little girls with no breasts/no hips/tender babish hymen sexy? Or is it about hegemony/subjugation/domination of young girls with no voice to scream against the dastardly act? Why destroy the innocence of a child in the name of Islam? These bastards should be neutered, maimed, killed, their carcasses fed to the dogs. Bad would not triumph over good, that i know!

You got to be kidding me right?

There won't be any law backing the parents and the child if a money bag has his eyes on them and armed with this new resolution.
stanech: All I am saying is that if the parent and the child is ok with it then who am I to tell a full grown man how to live his/her life.
We should learn to do the right things in this country. Protest my foot. One gunshut from mobile police now una go begin run..

CHILDnotBRIDE!

It's just unfortunate that it has to be about Islam and the North. Proper explanation is needed as you said, but people like you won't listen or even understand the explanation (judging from your composition above). Now listen and listen real hard to understand us. It's not just Western opinion or religion; because someone has asked what age is allowed by other religions. It is basic science.
A girl's body isn't mature enough to cope with pregnancy until she is, at least, sixteen. So menstruation is not maturity but the beginning of a process. To marry her off means the following:
1. she can develop VVF and you can't just say "na so Allah want am"
2. she may die in pregnancy. The rate of women dying in pregnancy in Nigeria is high and the North is contributing 80% of that figure. With child brides, you can understand why
3. she cannot get a good education. Without a good education, she can't get a good job or learn a trade. Or even know basic hygiene to take care of herself and her children.

Do you think that all these evils are ok provided her husband enjoys the tightness of a 9year-old? Must the little girls be destroyed and their future wrecked because one man wants intimate pleasure?
