News broke yesterday that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has finally tied the knot with his rumoured 18 year old heartthrob, Sa’adatu Barkindo-Musdafa, the daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-Musdafa. The 18-year old becomes the emir’s fourth wife. She recently completed secondary school and is been enrolled for advanced level studies.

Shortly after the news broke, Nigerians took to Twitter to air their unhappiness that the Emir could marry someone that young. Their reactions are below. Do you think the Emir did something 'wrong'?

It is better for an 18years old girl to be married than for an 11years old girl to be raped. 85percent of 18years old girls are no longer virgins. If na lie,ask Kylie Jenner.


As long as the bride is allowed to further her studies,i am happy with that. Emir Sanusi must not deprive her of furthering her education all because of marriage.

18 urs old is a bride again, abi?

you're all dunce with head turned in the usual foolish way.

17 is the consented age...and if the girl wldnt complain...why shld u?


most of you idiots, your 15 yrs old sister fuccks her 70yrs old lecturer in a perpetual basis...


and when a 21yr old black marries a 60 yr old white ugly lady, non of you got epilepsy...

you dey mad!

18 is the age of consent in Nigeria according to the child right act. All these twitter activist should look for a better cause to project as this particular trending hashtag is seriously misplaced.

Hahahahaha maybe na her football age... Lol

continue

Hahahahaha.. 18 is her football age.. Lol

Why are people giving SLS moment in the media for doing nothing other than marry legitimately? Abegi free the man jor na their choice abi must everyone reach desperate age to get married? Go to religious homes and see desperate ladies well above 18yrs seeking husbands. Next time they will learn to marry when they were young!

I tired for naija people oh- what the hell concern them. The world has gotten worse where people are wailing that someone married an 18yrd old gal. We'll is not bad at all! Most of our 14, 15, 16 yrs old gals of today have already sucked up sleeping with different men. Now a humble man married 18yrs old gal people are shouting she's a child. What a shame, did she complain or is 18yrs old gal a child? Just because this Man is a Muslim, u guys are spouting rubbish here. Carry go joh my humble emir.

funny things happen at times, 18 years old, a child?
then go to the brothels to see what 16 years do.
The bride of the emir is even sponsored to further her studies... what if she's not, you people will come and crucify yourself?

Na waoh. 18 years old girl is old enof to marry bc most girls strted eating d forbidden fruit at d age of 12 d problem here is d age gap btw d girl and d emir. since d girl is happy abt dt Nigerians shld STFU



bfore u crucify me. it is better to marry at the age of 18 than having sex with ur so called boyfriend at the age of 19 to 35 Na waoh.

Interesting

55yr old man marrying a teenager, you need your head examined if you don't see anything wrong with it.

Picture of the quirky man supporting Emir Sanusi.

she's 18 for God sake!!! you people should get a life




too young for him tho

See why the north is still stuck in the 20th century?



the north keep pulling nigeria back! smh!


They said the girl is 18, 18 ko 80 ni.

I'm sure that girl is 16 years old, she just finished secondary school and is 18? I laugh. At 18 I was in my 2nd year in the university. He shld have allowed her finish university now, since he cares so much about her education.

People should leave SLS alone coz abok'i will always be abok*i no matter how educated they are.

[size=15pt]Honestly some men are really making things difficult for older unmarried ladies. Do these men have to remind these unmarried ladies that younger bodies are sweeter.
If Sanusi at 54 years could marry a tender sweet 18 how would u blame me if I go for same age range. Who would then marry the spinsters of of 30 to 40 and even 45. I guess dick dead and death awaiting 80 year olds.

Ladies sef no dey help matters as they keep changing boyfriends like cloth.
