Senator Ahmad Sani Yerima, representing
Zamfara West Senatorial District at the
National Assembly has publicly come out to
defend his position on the child marriage
act.
Senator Yerima has been at the receiving
end of harsh criticisms by angry Nigerians
for kicking against section 29 (a) of the
proposed constitutional amendment, which
states that a Nigerian girl can only qualify
for marriage when she is at least 18 years
old. He claimed that the provision
contradicts Islamic law.
Channels Television recently
caught up with the Senator who
publicly defended his views on
child marriage.
The Senator revealed that he has 28
children and one of his daughters who is
now 16 would be given out in marriage on
September 6, 2013.

Well done sir!
At least you practice what you preach!
Unlike your DO AS I SAY, and NOT AS I DO CHRISTIAN-NUISANCE counter-parts!

This is just absurd! This man is a mad man!

That's goooooood!

But when the little girl start having fistula issues, dont accuse God, dont say it's God will and don't say it's one of the price to pay as a believer. May God help you.




And sir, a 16 years old girl of yours is older and more mature than a 13 years old girl you married sometimes ago.
Again, its your life, your child and your choice.

One man, 28 children! That tells a lot when they earn more than Obama.

28. Kids, who cares if I give some out by 16yrs.

Wicked ppl

Well, that's easy for him to do. He's not the one being carted of like a piece of furniture to endure the brunt of an underaged marriage.

I bet his daughter who's on the receiving end of this union hasn't got a choice nor any say in the matter.

She may not have VVF, but she's a baby upstairs!

^^ True.

mgbeketoto: Well done sir!

And the circle continues.
The man no de tire for bleeping?
Opium of the masses
