This senator must be one of those back benchers that we always see sleeping during sessions. He probably was not attentive and just said 'aye' from dreamland. This should serve as a lesson to other sleeping senators that are just earning fat seating allowances without a meaningful contribution to ongoing debates in the house. |

naptu2: Kudos. pls educate our peeps. Everybody just jumped into the #childNotBride bandwagon without even studying the crux of the matter. |

MuyiGL: Who is this man's PR that can't write proper English?dude, the issue of age of marriage is entirely different. underage marriage is only possible if the law permits it. In many climes, already pregnant teens are allowed to marry (with parental consent, of course). And if the spouse in question is a foreigner, doesn't she have the right to adopt the spouse's nationality? Such girl can be considered an emancipated minor, per se.. If at all the marriageable age should be amended, it's definitely not in that section/clause... Let's be rational please. I only blame the senator for cowering under pressure. He should have just given his reasons for voting No and sensitise his people on what actually transpired instead of apologising for doing nothing wrong. |

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.1. Can we have the list of the other 12 states where the Child Rights Act is not domesticated? 2. Is Zamfara state among these 12 states? 3. It would appear to the discerning minds that the sought amendment could impact negatively on child-marriage adventures of pedophilic senators (e.g. Yerima) back home, hence their push for clause 4b not to be removed from the constitution. 4. These senators hide under the guise of ''citizenship renounciation'' to help them perpetrate their evil pedophilic acts. 5. Every wise meaning Nigerian should push for the deletion of clauses in the Nigerian Constitution that expose children to dangers from these beasts called lawmakers, to save our society from further harm. The Child Right Act MUST be made to come into full force in all the states of the Federation, so that the likes of Yerima and his ilks will be made to spend the rest of their miserable life behind bars. |

ceejayluv: nice try, but u remain wrong. If the issue is all about nationality of the bride, why not allow for dual citizenship (which i think nigeria constitution already approve) instead of renunciation. Now, men from chad, niger, mali and sudan can enter nigeria, negotiate a childbride, force her to renounce her nationality and they are automatically protected by law. Our security agencies will not be able to stop the abuse because the girl is no longer a nigerian. Telling a 13 yr old girl that she has a choice to renounce her citizenship is outright ridiculous because the only reason she would do just that is if she's compelled to by an adult. That law fails to protect any girl, rather it exposes her to agents of manipulation, exploitation and abuse. It's the duty of the state to protect these girls not expose them to men who wants to take advantage of their vulnerabilities. There's a reason the constitution states that you must be 18 yrs b4 u can own a vehicle license, vote or drink alcohol. That's the age u are deemed full age to make a choice. There should be no exemption. This issue of ammendment is all about childbride and desperate attempt to seek constitutional backing for the barbaric act. A stunt yerima dare not attempt in egypt, he wants to make it the norm here. Don't be fooled. 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 voteMore of a "follow follow" thingy! Na them full there o! The look on his face shows it all. I know this house of reps member in one of the state house of assembly down here, this woman knows nada as in absolutely NADA but she was forced on her people by the then governor. Her own is to raise her hand when others(majority of people in the house) are raising and keeps it down when FEW people raised theirs. She's still in that house to date making laws for my people.........its just too sad! |

@Naptu, So, Zamfara is among the states. Now, do you get my drift? Pedophilic Yerima is hell bent on marrying kids in his state. Now is the time to get the man behind bars....and the keys to his dungeon thrown into the Atlantic ocean. 1 Like |

ono: @Naptu, Yerima's marriage to the egyptian child was actually conducted in Abuja. Abuja has domesticated the Child Rights Act, because the National Assembly legislates for Abuja. Naptip took him to court, but I don't know the result of that case. |
Re: Senator Akinyelure Denies Voting For Under-age Marriage by ono(m): 12:21pm On Jul 23, 2013 |
Going by the numbers of those in favour of keeping clause (4b) on the floor of the senate, our society is in danger of these child abusers. We need to come up with a way to whisk them out of the senate and never allow their type to sit anywhere near the place. Yerima's fate we all will see in the not too distant future. |
Re: Senator Akinyelure Denies Voting For Under-age Marriage by Quelme: 12:25pm On Jul 23, 2013 |
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.He just succeeded in decieving you again. I think he will again and again and again!!! Wise up |
Re: Senator Akinyelure Denies Voting For Under-age Marriage by Quelme: 12:28pm On Jul 23, 2013 |
ebor: Be humble and apologise for voting in error instead of justifying the content of what u voted. The fact that the prescribed age for marriage was not specified n within the context of senator Yerima's argument on the issue before voting you should have known better that a trap was set for people like u who only consider d content of a constitional provision without considering the context n wider implication. The question then is why was it that u were d only senator from the south west that voted that way?...the best is to just say sorry 4 voting in error or ignorance.Simple |
Re: Senator Akinyelure Denies Voting For Under-age Marriage by deelobe: 12:40pm On Jul 23, 2013 |
the fact that you sat in the session where this rubbish was raised and you didnt carry a placard of your protest makes you guilty by association. You guys in the senate are not serious at all. Are you talking to fools. Rubbish! |

Re: Senator Akinyelure Denies Voting For Under-age Marriage by Abbott(m): 12:58pm On Jul 23, 2013 |
Loools Ondo o gboyinbo! I honestly believe the Senator voted in error. He must not have understood the syntax of the expression before he pressed "NO", voting for the retention of the phrase instead of its deletion. Ondo o gbo 'yinbo. Loooools |

toluene12:In the case of a pregnant 16-year old girl , that wishes to marry her 17-year old boy that impregnated her. With family consent and all, shouldn't she be allowed to marry Especially if she wishes not to bear an illegitimate child? There has to be exceptions in any law. That 18 year benchmark may not always be tenable especially for girls. |

Johnnyhoo: liarYes,. They kept quiet when ike ekweremadu searched for and got a senseless excuse to throw away political restructuring throuugh creation of new states, as requested by majority of nigerians aimed at balancing the political representation between north and south. Ekweremadu and Ihedioha foolishly believe that their Awgu and Mbaise constituencies may not directly benefit from new states, that is why they searched for a stupid excuse to deny political restructuring. |

From the report above , i have not seen any statement of his condemning CHILD MARRIAGES, His English teachers should tell him that as far as he did not CONDEMNED it, he is not AGAINST it, And i think may be the computer voting is what is also confusing him, it seems to him like gambling. |

naptu2: [size=15pt]No one would know how the case fared because we have an insane judicial system in Nigeria, where the likes of Farouk, Cecilia Ibru get away with heinous crimes and a hungry man who stole Osun State governor's mobile phone received around half a century prison term. Nigeria has become a joke and the laughing stock of the entire world. Nigerians get deported from places like Yemen, Somalia, Uganda, and Tanzania. Can you imagine that? Shame![/size] |
