Although millions of eight-year-old girls in Nigeria are presently playing or disturbing their mothers for more noodles, there is one particular eight-year-old girl who is now a married woman. I have confirmed that two days ago, a marriage ceremony was conducted between a rather curious couple: the bride is eight years of age and she is in primary four (we are presently still getting more information on the groom but initial reports say he is aged 14 and is in SS1). They are of the Baba Ahmed family in Zaria and this is reportedly not the first of such marriages they have conducted. Sources told that although the marriage has indeed been formalized between the two ‘lovers’, there will be no sexual intercourse until at least they finish their secondary school education. It is unclear if there will be other marital duties such as cooking, living together or going for romantic time outings. We are still getting more updates on the story and will be updating as we get them. In the meantime, see exclusive photos and videos from the ceremony below:

The marriage has raised a lot of controversy among Nigerians. Some are totally outraged at the concept of wedding between minors and even say it is unconstitutional as the ‘bride’ is not of age and she did not give her consent while others say there is nothing wrong with it.

The groom looks older than 14. what does an eight years old know about life, talk more getting married.

Ancient and archaic practises like this continues to make the north backward.

Is it Islam or stupidity of some people of the religion?

Their wealthy and elite families always send their daughters to the best schools in the world without getting them married off at a ridiculous and embarrassing age. Whereas the stup1d and poor ones will be marrying off their daughters from the womb.

By age 12 that toddler would have given birth and be a mother of someone, when she can even hardly fend for herself.

I listened to a Muslim cleric preaching at a barbing salon and I shook my head. He said people should keep procreating without family planning because God will provide what those children will eat. He said it is a ploy of the western world to curtail the population of Muslims.

No wonder poverty is legendary in the north.

Farnsworth:
Is "paedophile" now an appropriate description of this perverted culture?
Or are they Northern intellectuals who care to defend rape of an 8 yr old as Noble and Godly?

But wait, is the girl your sister?
