ObiOmaMu:
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'?

Optionalx:

You no make sense joor. How old is SANUSI and how old was kanu then. Don't compare apple and orenge abeg

Mindfulness:


What is speculation? That it is not a relationship at eye-level? You have ignored this point.

The fact that Heidi had a stable home does not mean that she has no daddy issues. We don't know it. I have a cousin who married a man 16 years older, she is from a stable home but has daddy issues.

Mindfulness:

I doubt that any lady, who has no daddy issues or does not want to escape poverty, would find a man who is more than 30 years older s.exually appealing.

MuhdG:

That's not even it.

Even if he marries a 13 year old girl, what is their business. It is not as if he kidnapped her and married her, no!
Or is it from their side he married her?

Her parents are happy, she is happy, he is happy... i don't know tha f... they are ranting about.




They are just damaged and jobless

abouzaid:
please stop quoting me or mentioning my name, Allah would answer your prayer for he is just.

tonquendo4u:
The issue is,how old is d Emir?he may be 50yrs older dn d little girl who might hv a boyfriend she's in luv with.And believe it or not,she has no right to say she doesn't want d marriage.Once d parents say yes(in dis case,dey can't say No because he's d emir),d marriage is sealed.Noone cares abt d happiness of d girls in d north.Women emancipation campaign should start in dt region

arabianights:


please ignore him .He clearly is low minded and from the gutters but assumes he is enlightened and classy.How can a man use such words as if he is a retarded child.

We are not arguing that the 18 year old is not an adult,we are basically making reference to the age gap.I would have stated a point here but it will raise alot of you are a liar so i prefer to keep shut over it but for sure Sanusi is not marrying his "hearthrob" as stated in some quarters.

Can he allow his daughter to make this same move? he has paraded himself as an enlightened muslim with a diference,Good then what stopped him from marrying older women ?Doesnt he feel his move is very selfish?The report of this marriage was out since january or before then in which it was debunked but here we are,so who is the liar?

Am even being asked a stupid question as to state the right reasons for marriage.Now lets see if sanusi will allow her finish her education and follow her dreams

Ignyte:
You know how many 18 year old ashawo$ dey my area... ?? SLS marry 18 year old and christians no go allow person hear word... Mtcheww Nonesense

sunnyb0b0:


So are you in support of girls getting married at 18?

Will you give your daughter out for marriage at 18?

Would your parents have given you out for marriage at 18 when u were just fresh from secondary school?but u supports sleeping around @ 18

abduljabbar4:

At least we don't see in the news where imams rrape small girls on a daily basis

Beremx:
you lots are funny. So now its not about the girl"s age but the age gap between SLS and his new bride? Do you want me to start to mention notable personalities that cuts across Nigeria who married women old to be their daughters?

Abeg,stop the hypocrisy and wish the Emir a happy married life.

SLIDEwaxie:
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!

Fulaboy:
And at the age of 40 I'm afraid na your type we see rushing for "Husband Anointing” SMH

Beremx:
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.

Sagamite:


Speculation is when you seem to make up something not based on knowledge?

What makes you think she was not keen in marrying him?

As per Heidi, you said:



I am telling you many do, without it rooted at the perjority speculation of "daddy issues".

Mindfulness:


He is old and ugly and could almost be her grandfather and has got three other wives. This is what makes me think that she was not keen on marrying him.

Now tell me what would make a 18-year-old girl want to marry an old, ugly man who already has three wives instead of a handsome, athletic, younger man who is single?

I am curious.

arabianights:




what stopped you from wishing him that and moving on ? Allow us to continue wailing or are we using your voice and time to wail?
