Agrika: ..... I dont really get it why my fellow nigerians are getting so worked up over this issue, it is more or less an open secret, that hausa/fulani girls are easily "spoilt" i.e they can easily be corrupted, go to a typical northern city like kano or kaduna, a 13 year old girl already knows how to gyrate her waist, tune her voice to be sexually appealing to a man, a girl of similar age in the south is busy competing with boys in her class for who will clinch the first position,.. as at 12 years the only thing wey full thier head na so so "saurayi"!! (boyfriend/suitor/fiance), imagine what that girl will turn out to be when she reaches the age of 21,... So even if they want to marry off thier daughters straight from thier mother's womb is thier cup of tea, the girls aint complaining, why should you....why una go they take panadol for headache wey no be una own

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.

So far you're the only poster who showed some level of rational thinking. The rest are just noise makers who themselves are guilty of many things yet have brains that only prompts to accusations against others.

Is it really in ur teaching that you can marry under age girl? If yes pls answer there questions
1. What will she be doin as a wife at that small age?
2. Will she also b answering mrs yerima in her primary school? Won't that affect her emotionally?
3. Can u publicly make her a 1st lady if u become d president or governor?
4. Would u have intercouse with her?
5. How ll she contribute to ur goal as mr yerima qouted?
And finally will u b called a hapi man?

baby_123: If you were man enough and complete mentally and physically, you will not need to marry a child all in the name of religion who would have never married you if she was given the choice. I am so ashamed of this country that this is a priority. Passing a bill for child brides. When there are other pertinent bills. At least we are now able to identify the craddle-robbers in government. You want to take away the choice of the Nigerian girl child in 2013. How about passing a law that you cannot enter the NASS without a bachelors degree, so we have less of these illiterate, fanatic monsters in power. This country is totally regressing. What is so manly about marrying a child forcefully? What is right about it? Which child will prefer to marry a 50yr old dying man against a boy/man of her peers? If she is below 18, leave her alone! Perverts! Dirty animals!
