ihimami: so because some backward africans practice underage marriage so therefore those who are opposed to underage marriage must be also in support of gay marriage and inbreeding. this is getting serious. |

ShyM-X: your hatred against women (black and african women to be specific) which caused you to open this thread is very evident for all to see. that last part of your post is known as human or s.ex trafficking. which thank God is against the law. Although governments spend more time persecuting the pro.stitutes (who are often young girls) than they do persecuting the pimps and traffickers. 2 Likes |

99cent: So I'm not a pervert anymore, I'm now a black-women hater, no? I bet I'll be labelled a phaggot soon. You definitely can't make this shyte up!! It isn't about prosecuting them, it's about you lot coming out to fight it, like you have been crying everywhere about this one. Upstanding people are tired of going everywhere in Europe and seeing Nigerian women prostituting everywhere - it's shameful. I know there aren't that many who do direct prostitution in the UK - however most of them are more or less prostitutes and you will phuck them by driving a nice car and giving them some loose change. 1 Like |

koruji: I hope you were conscious when you wrote the below? Are you suggesting that allowing people "freedom to their way-of-life" include allowing them to deny a young kind her own god-given freedom to live free and make their own decisions in life? Are you in the fullness of your mind considering a girl of 6, 9 or 13 forced (forced because she is incapable of consenting) as being allowed her "freedom to her own way of life"? 2 Likes |

I know everyone keeps screaming responsibility to protect (R2P). However where's your R2P against: - Child labour in the same country. - Poverty and bad governance. - Extreme corruption. - Social exploitation of kids etc. in the same country. I bet you lot are just screaming because those involved are Northerners who y'all love to hate. However, can't you see that it takes two to tango? If the people (Northern Nigerians) directly affected by it don't care - why the fvck should I? GTFOH! - and post more topics about the future of the country and how to take power away from the center! 3 Likes |

ShyM-X:It really does affect not only our lives as Nigerians but Africa as a whole and even the World. You're an exposed guy so you should know what the chain reaction will lead to. Its already widespread in the Nigeria.....Almajiris and Violent, idle criminals that morphed into Boko-Haram.... They are unable to care for their families but still keep giving birth like rats.

Shym-x, You made some valid points about the age of marriage not being consistent around the world, and I alo liked your arguments about social evolution whereby primitive practices are gradually phased out. But then you go and spoil your arguments by stating that what happens in Northern Nigeria does not affect us. I do not believe you actually said that in this age of globalization when what happens in london can have far reaching consequences on nigerians in ibadan, not to talk of what is happeningin mali or chad. You are using your age statistics wrongly, if you check well, there is no way the Yerima episode would be allowed in any of the countries you stated, where a man over 50 and with 3 other wives, including a Child wife is allowed to marry a 14 year old teenager. Even most Arab countries where the islamic religion started would not accept that. In most countries you provided statistics of marriageable age for, it was lowered to make provisions for special cases where two closely aged couples are desiring to marry for expediency purposes (maybe the girl is pregnant and abortion is out of the question), or for aristocratic purposes ( by wealthy or aristrocratic families) to strengthen family or business ties. Meanwhile the Nigerian case is purely for sexual exploitation of girls by rich and powerful old perverted men, who practical buy the young girls off their parents purely for sexual satisfaction of the old men. Tell me how is it possible for a 13 yr old girl to fall in love and choose to marry a 50 yr old man? After marriage what will be the basis of the relationship outside se.x? Why we are affected in all these is two fold; First the funds to run this child molestation system is coming from my region directly, most of these perverted men are non productive and rely on money from the centre gotten frtqom the resources and hard work of other regions. For examle where did yerima get the $100000 he was said to have paid for the egyptian minor? it was definitely sourced from the south-south.If they can generate their own revenue and decide to use it for exploiting young girls, then it might not concern me. Secondly this system of using children as se.x slaves and baby production units is one factor responsible for the almajiri problem in the north. A lot of the young brides are abandoned once the teenage bride becomes a woman, either by the man moving unto younger brides or dying from old age. Then the women and their numerous children are left to fend for themselves. A lot of them migrate to other states and become a social problem and the ones that stay behind provide a source of terrorist recruits for Boko Haram and co. Believe me many families have been affected directly or indirectly by these terrorist organizations. I wonder why some Northern old men can't excersise patience and wait for a few years for girls to fully mature before they poke their long john into them? Why the obsession with teen age virgins? We can even reduce the marriageable age to 16 as a compromise but marrying a 9, 11 or even 14 yr old girl by a 50yr old man is sickening. 4 Likes |

ShyM-X: Hi ShyM-X, I have been far too busy of late to contribute much to some of the debates unfolding. On balance, I see no connection between the same sex marriage laws you alluded to, and the issue of protecting the rights of the weakest lot in our society - children.

ShyM-X: You are the one that hate the North and doesn't give a damm about them, on the contrary we care about those Northern kids same as our own younger sisters and daughters. You should care for those weak, innocents, helpless, voiceless girls. Give them help, strength and a voice. I served in the North, you dont even get to see these child-brides outside or when you see them you mistake them for children of their husbands until you visit their hospitals and you see man inhumanity to children written boldly all over them. One will be heartless and as guilty as their molesters not to feel concerned. And your arguments with other vices is weak. 2 or more wrongs dont make a right. Besides these other vises are not acceptable in law like the attempt to make child marriage legal. We only need to enforce the laws against them. 2 Likes |

ShyM-X: Your argument is sooo blindingly flawed it begs the question of what you arguing about. 1.FREEDOM TOO WAY OF LIFE: FINE! But what about the child's freedom to way of life? How many girls at that age are just itching to get married and have have babies? The horrible, incomprehensible truth is that those kids are scared witless by the choices THEIR parents have made for them. In these countries you mentioned those age waivers are given to children who are willful enough to demand an early marriage but still the age of CONSENT is still very high (universally 16). So freedom of choice is right and should protect the child's freedom as well. 2. RIGHT OR WRONG: Means absolute fuckall when you are in a democracy! Do you think if the country revisits the national oil sharing scheme the South-south senators will be in favour of it? They basically feed the entire nation and still get bullied by every region but who is batting an eyelid? The desires of the majority trump those of the minorities in a democracy, the north should get the Bleep in line when the rest of the country wants them to or GTFO of the republic (if they dare)! 3. Tons of adults cannot handle voting responsibilities? Says who? Is it that they are brain dead? Look talk something proper abeg, how many people do you see begging others to take their enfranchisement burden from them? 4. Like I said, the majority IS the rule, everything is okay till you challenge the status-quo. Stop and think about where we would be as a the freaking earth today if Abraham Lincoln didn't challenge the normal slave practice that abrogated the freedom of slaves but exulted the masters. Those little girls will thank us as grown women tomorrow. 4 Likes |

Let's look at this matter constructively, the problem we have in this country is not about the age those girls get married but what are we imparted into thier life before and after getting married. Considering marriageable age in some country listed in which some are allowed from 13, even in USA. As yoruba would say "Ile laawo ka to somo loruko", this is a country where the government is not improving our education system, this is a country where the government is not alleviating the poverty level of people. Corruption is soaked in all sectors in the country. At least, if the education is made free and education sector is well funded and manage well, all these young girls will be well trained from primary to their secondary school age, as it's been done in some developed countries we see as role model, which could be a gain those kids could developed on, but alas, our senators would not fight upon that. All what they do is to satisfy themselves base on religion and cultural flimsy excuses. I wish they pass a bill for death penalty on corrupt embezzler worth of certain amount because such person has killed the dreams of many! 2 Likes |
