SENATOR AHMED SANI YARIMAN BAKURA REPLIES HIS ENEMIES

''Nigeria has many uncountable problems and none of them is early marriage. As a matter of fact early marriage the solution to about half of our problems. For those who wonder if I can give my daughter(s) out in marriage at the age of 9 or 13, I tell you most honestly, I can give her out at the age of 6 if I want to and its not your business.

This is because I am a Muslim and I follow the example of the best of mankind, Muhammad ﺻَﻠَّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻪِ ﻭَﺳَﻠَّﻢَ .

In Islam, marriage is not only about sex, it is about family and helping one another in achieving their goals, which is the attainment of Paradise.

In Islam, a girl can be given out in marriage as early as 6 years old, but consummation of the marriage can only be done when the girl becomes physically mature and she gives her consent to it because unlike English law, it is not permissible for a man to rape his wife in Shari'ah Law.

So what can anybody tell me?

~ I live in a city where young girls at the age of 12 have already became serial fornicators and cannot count the number of man they've had sex with.

~ I live in a City where primary school children disvirgin themselves behind toilets on Valentine day.

~ I live in a city where young girls flood the street at night looking for men that would give them N500 to have sex with them.

~ I live in a city where parents send their daughters out overseas to prostitute and send dollars down.

~ I live in a City where Government officials pick undergraduates from University car parks with Coastal Buses to wild sex parties.

~ I live in a city where abortion is so common that even a Chemist shop owner can perform abortion with just N2,500.

These are your daughters, and this should worry you and not Yerima's private matters. So ask me again why I support early marriage and I will slap the Jinn out of your head''.

Bleep.u.sexkills:
Yerima does have some valid points but I am still not thrilled getting married to an under age girl. In some States in America, under age marriage is allowed with consent of the parents. States like Oklahoma, Utah, Missisippi, and few other states.

BabaAlabi: You need to have your brain examined....psycho! How can you support a religion that keeps bringing up archaic ideologies like underage marriage in the 21st century? Think about the little girls that can't defend themselves...

sincerenigerian: Stop displaying stupidity! Under age marriage is practiced in many parts of the world including USA. 13 year old can get married in US with parental nod. Take your religious war to Saudi Arabia.

baby_123:
Shut up, liar an underage cannot marry an adult in the US. An underage can only be given consent to marry another underage. rubbish. Stick to what you know.

greatgod2012: Sir Yerima,
Let me reply you accordingly.
If actually you saw all those problems in your city, why cant you in your power and affluence try to find solutions to all these problems by introducing a law that will make life easier for people, why can you campaign against 12 or 13 years old having se..x by exposing the dangers involved in it
Why cant you and others that are in leadership position create emploment oppotunities for people, so that poverty will be minimally reduced and young girls will not have to sell their bodies for money, also, their parents will not have to send them abroad to send dollars home, if you and your cohorts make life easy for them.
Sir, you are one of the top government official that do pick up undergraduates for your se...xual gratification, so, stop and tell your friends and colleagues to stop, that is one of the ways to solve one of the problems.
Pass a law that makes life easy, so that abortion will not be necessary.
These are some of the positive ways you can change those problems you highlighted instead of creating a more wicked problem, which is enforcing a helpless innocent teenage girl into marriage, because your religion permits it. Even if its permitted in your religoin, why cant you use your common sense


With all respect sir, you know what you and your cohorts have done is wrong and you are only being defensive. You can still reverse it, its never too late. If you do, Nigerians will forgive you, but if you dont, posterity will judge you and the creator of these young girls who created them with goodwill and ability to make choice will judge you for not allowing them to choose whom they want to marry.

Yours faithfully.
Greatgod.

take dat: Yerima should know that most of those girls who engage in underage prostitution, aristo and other vices he listed are victims of injustice, poverty, neglect and bad leadership. They are economically exploited and physically mistreated because those in the positions of authority(including Yerima) are busy plundering their collective wealth.

sincerenigerian: The parents of the under age girls are as guilty as Yerima. The parents need some orienation.
