Yes they voted for underage girls to be married, so what?? even if they vote for or against underage marriage, young girls must marry. We are in Nigeria where things dont always work constitutionally. I cant marry a girl who is below 20yrs of age, but i dont see anything wrong if someone marries a girl of below 18. Adultery and fornication is very bad in islam, and the best way to protect your self from commiting those sins is by getting married if you have the means,thats what our religion tought us. Lets Stop decieving ourselves, if i go to my village an then married a girl of 16yrs what will happen? Who will punish me for that? A senator married a 13 yr old girl what happened? Was he asked to resign? When goodluck removed fuel subsidy people protested, many lost there lives those that bring the price of PMS bask to 65 naira? This is another waste of time e-warriors. Find something more productive to do. |

If they claim to vote in ignorance or errors they should as well revoke their support for it now that they know. Or is the constitution only amendable just to suit their selfish gains?Oya make u na reverse sharp sharp jor!That is how they will wake up one day to vote in support of guy marriage....So annoying leaders. We are Africans! |

How I wished such energy used cast and forbid this child marriage issue was also uesd for the ongoing ASUU strike, demand good leadership, to fight corruption, etc. We leave the important issues and fret over trivial things. perverts like Sin. Yerima won't have been in the senate if we make half as much fuss over who goes to the senate. Mtcheww 3 Likes |

ola_pluto: Well understood Senator. We know those who jump on bandwagon are not the intelligent ones. That Section 29 NEVER mentioned or endorsed child marriage. As long as it serves some emergency activists purpose, they conveniently twisted the whole thing. Stella Damascus even made a video highlighting her misinformation. Many cosmetic activists on twitter, facebook and even here on nairaland needed to get busy, so they picked on Yerima. When they all settle down to digest the bill, I hope the reasonable ones among them will retract and apologize. That's a totally silly excuse for these politicians to save their ugly faces. Fine! They voted for the renunciation clause to be deleted. However, the premise on which the clause stands, leaves a vague statement that "a woman who's married is deemed of full age." This automatically implies that marrying a minor can't be debated. Why didn't these politicians insist that full age therefore shall be a female of 18years and above? We all did Logic in school, and in law. One rule applies, if it is not explicitly stated, it's considered vague and will always be debated with no resolved. So I guess they are not so intelligent after all. 2 Likes |

mannobi: he never realised it until he discovered no southwestern senator voted for it. WHAT A LOW IQ SENATOR. always think before u vote He did not believe that the list of voters will be made available for the public to find out how they voted. You can emergine what all these so call leaders do in the house hiddenly and still go away with. |

I just pray that they(senators) are doing the right thing without being told. This yerima ideaology can never work here. Nigeria is not a one man or one tribe nation. The northerners should not tell us or command the whole nation as if they are the only one that owns it. Good bye Bad regime... |

naptu2: The 1979 constitution did not contain provisions for renunciation of citizenship. During constitutional review debates in 1979 Aminu Kano (the leader of the PRP) felt that the age of 18 years used in subsection 4a was an arbitrary western concept of maturity. The legislators in 1979 at the time agreed with the PRP argument and subsection 4b was included. Thanks for the clarification, |

What u failed 2 understand is that legislations like this one is all about context. Now that it has been accepted in this context, it wouldn't be long before they start arguing to make it legitimate in the context of marriage which is why it wz only northerners, one Edo state paedophile and ur friend above that voted in favour. P/s: I also suggest that u read Yerima's defence so that u would understand what he had in mind when he called for that vote... 3 Likes |

It is sad to read and watch nigerians protest against a law that hasn't been signed into law yet by President Jonathan. I hope those screaming and yelling understand that the president has the power under the constitution to veto a bill. Those protesting a bill that hasn't been signed into law need to stay clam until the president either veto's the bill or signs it into law 1 Like |
