There are 2 sides to every story

So this means the young man lived with and probably started having an affair with the girl .

The girl like some teenagers is gullible and fell in love with the older guy. As much as I hold Yunusa responsible for this issue, the girls parents must share the blame because this shows that they have not successfully instilled discipline in their daughter.

carinmom:

How did you know that Islam supports infant marriage hun? Pls stop saying something you have no knowledge of.
For those linking what Yunusa did with Islam, i think that is totally wrong and unfair, everyday we hear stories about pastors raping minors, engaging in homosexuality, wife snatching to mention a few out of their numerous atrocities. My question is did Muslims ever come hard on Christianity with all types of insults linking your religion with the actions of those pastors?

Peace.

Hypocrisy is when someone believes Oruru's side and then refuse to believe Yunusa and his father's side of the story. Both sides should be given fair hearing.
And for those raining all kinds of insults on Islam and the northerners, may you be forgiven for your ignorance because Islam has nothing to do with actions of Yunusa.

olisaEze:
you won't find any practicing or 'stay home on sunday' Christian supporting those evil pastors you're referring to as compared to many Muslims supporting their own, whether right or wrong. And 4ur info Islam has nothing against child brides. Infact looking at their antecedents and current leadership, they support it. If uve lived in the north, u'll understand.

That's are lies. A middle income earners like the oruru can't afford to have a house help.
It's even rare to see hausa house help, instead u see hausa security man which the oruru's family can't afford to have.

Well i am not blaming islam here my sister. You are right too, believing one side of the story is hypocricy.
But for Yunusa‘s fatherto wait this long before making this statement leavesmore to be desired. Even in his interview the previous day he never mentioned this. It is suspicous. Another thing is how can a family that cant afford money for proper mertanity now be able to keep a house help?
On what capacity was he acting as a house help? Was he being paid daily, monthly or...? Is it because he used cart to bring water for them that made him their house help? How did the father know that this guy was a house help for 10years to this family? We have read Ese‘s interview why dont they allow Yunusa to grant interview also so that we would hear from his mouth?
Lolzzz this Yunusa‘s father‘s talk to me na after thought oh, just to swave sympathy.

There are two more outstanding cases like this right now. Both are said to be in Sultan of Sokoto‘s house. Gov Tambuwal has ordered investigation into one of them.
The truth is that northern muslems (men) are now kidnapping christian girls, force them to convert & then marries them. I think it is one of the latest trend now. You know very well that our northern muslem brothers knows how to “manufacture“ touch & follow charms, seduction charms and all other sexual molesting related charms.

Islam seriously needs to clean up EVIL elements that are giving it bad names everywhere.

Please shut it if you are unsure of what to say. Go watch the piece AIT did on the family, the dad was the first person to go to kano accompanied by TWO policemen from Bayelsa after having reported the matter to Bayelsa police command and guess what, they spent SEVEN good days in kano without any headway. Seven good days trying to get the emirate council of the North to release one's daughter to him even as he did accompanied by government representatives. My dear, there's no justification for what transpired on this poor girl's case and unless u want to keep living in denial, there's another law (sharia and emirate) the northerners obey and to them supercedes the Constitution of the FRN. Stop blaming the parents of the girl cos their efforts were frustrated from the get go, save for the media outcry they would have resigned to their 'fate' on this.

This is why i have been cautioning all those hate filled ethnic bigot, they have not heard all sides of the story and they immediately start spewing insults at other tribes, regions and religions, they even care less for Ese and her wellbeing.

The person with the most blame in this Ese saga are the parents, especially the father. His daughter was missing from home since last year's August and he is aware of where she is and has is still sitting cool in Yenagoa, i did not hear reports of him going to Kano or even Abuja to retrieve his daughter, it was the mother i heard that did all the travelling. in the Muslim north woman are not accorded much respect, so i doubt she would have attained much by herself unlike if it was a man that went. If it was my daughter that that was abducted and was told the location where she is kept, i would travelled there immediately and would raze the roof down. i would not leave there without my daughter. I do not understand how the parents would leave Ese in kano for over 6 months while they are sleeping in Yenagoa. I am sure the real truth is yet to come out as to what really transpired that led to Ese running away from home. What led to Ese being so unhappy as to find solace in Yenusa's arms and preferring instead to be abducted?

The situation has become infinitely more complicated with Ese's pregnancy. what now becomes of Ese and the baby? Will Yenusa and family be entitled to any responsibility concerning the baby? or do we assume the child will be a bastard (fatherless)? or even maybe Ese should abort the over 5 month's pregnancy?

Why did they not return the girl herself as ahy responsible parent would have done? How did the girl become pregnant? To me, the boy's people are culpable simple.

do you believe this man?
Ese‘s mum said she always put to bed at a nursing home instead of a hospital because there is no money. How come a poor family would now have a domestic help?
Remember that this family sales food. On what level is Yinusa helping the family?
It is a pity but all this lies is poping up so that people would stop sympatising with the Erurus.
This same man who is claiming that Yinusa has a bride at home was the one that said yesterday that his son didno wrong.
Come to think of it. A muslem can marry as many as four wives why then would be angry with Yinusa for bringing another gir home.
Sometimes when we readsomethings we should apply caution and collect all the previous stories put all together and see at least something thatwe can make use of.
The muslems of the north enjoying kidnapping christian girls from the south convert them and force them into marriage.
Remember there are another two cases like this now in Sokoto. One girl from Enugu & one from Benue of Tambuwal has instituted investigation because the two girls are said to be in Sultan‘s palace.

The father of Yinusa is saying what he was told to say to clean the face of the Emirate and muslems in general.

I must admit i am having a hard time finding a complete story, most of what i have read are conflicting incomplete stories from all sides. Please refer me to the link where you got the story that the father travelled to kano and was chased by irate youths.

wirinet:


Apologies for my ignorance, i do not watch AIT, i only watch sunrise daily and news at 10 on channels. I have searched the internet for more details and i found a nairaland link that has a bit more details - https://www.nairaland.com/2961988/kano-man-abduct-bayelsa-girl
It seems it was the mother that responded immediately by going in pursuit of her child, the father did not travel until more than two weeks later. To me the man should not have allowed his wife to travel to Sharia north alone.

The report says Ese's father travel to kano on September 2, with his wife and 2 police men, after seeing the emir who says he had ordered the release Ese since august 26, what further action did Ese's father take? Did he inform the emir that his order had not been obeyed and that he should give another order for Ese's release. Why did he not immediately petition the state commissioner of police, the IG, the house of representatives and senate (through his representatives), etc. I am at loss at to why it took 6 months before they took the matter to a human rights group. If the father had informed someone as influential as oby ezekwesili, i am sure just a phone call to emir Sanusi would have gotten Ese released in a matter of days. I hate being in a state of helplessness as portrayed by the father. A man is supposed to protect his family using all available means.

This Ese's saga requires a thorough investigation, we need to know the roles played by every body involved andappropriate punishment given. We need to determine the the hierarchy of laws in Nigeria, why can't state institutions enforce federal laws?

kross01:

I will attempt to answer your questions as best as i can,. Firstly, my comments were based on what the man said to AIT reporters where he said that he went to Kano in the company of two police officers and after one week they couldn't secure the girls release. You also need to look at the man in question and tell me if you think that man is exposed to social media for all i care that man may not even know who Ezekwesili is or anyother, so called activist is for that. What i expected to hear you discuss on is why police officers dispatched from bayelsa police command spent 7days in Kano going between the kano police command, Kano Emirate council and the Kano sharia council? Should we now choose which authorities to obey, where to obey them and why we should obey them? To the extent that one of the top police bosses (not sure if it's the AIG of the zone or the CP) said that they were waiting for the emir to return from hajj before they can go clarify with him before taking the girl back. Whose authority between these two institutions does our Constitution convey such powers on? That my friend is the fundamental problem of the country. Our laws are selective in application

wirinet:


I agree with you 100%, we need to understand why the Police were unable to carry out their responsibilities for all of 6 months over a reported case of child abduction. This is where i want us to focus on, instead of only Yenusa and spewing insults at Northerners, Emir Sanusi and Islam. Human rights and social media activists must demand a probe of the police and all those involved in this case. What or who handicapped or compromised the police from effecting the release of Ese?

After all said and done, i am still appalled by the apparent helplessness of Ese's dad for the whole of six months. A small school incident happened to my little son last week, he was bitten by a fellow student while in class. I went to the school and raked seriously, i threatened to report the school to the lagos state ministry of education. I did not even wait for my wife who i believed was being too complacent. The proprietor apologized and almost suspended the class teacher. I felt satisfied after a promise that such would never be allowed to happen again.

I was not happy that it was the mother that traveled to Abuja to retrieve Ese and not the father or at worst both of them. I believe a man is the protector and head of the family.

I THINK WE ARE ALL BEING SENTIMENTAL TOWARDS A MATTER AS SENSITIVE AS THIS.
THE SAGA CONTINUES AND ALL FAMILIES ARE CLAMING DAMAGES AND RIGHTS AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THEIR LIMITS.
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS LOVE INVOLVED AND WHEN DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES OF LOVE ONE HAS TO BE VERY VERY CAREFUL. WE WOULD BE VERY UNHAPPY IF THIS MATTER LEADS TO ONE OF THEM COMMITING SUICIDE. ''SEE THE LOOKS ON THE GIRLS FACE''. SHE SIMPLY AGREED TO ELOPE WITH THE GUY AND SOME PEOPLE THINK SHE WAS BRAINWASHED.
PLEASE LETS PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER, LETS CALL A SPADE A SPADE.
BOTH HAVE ACTED FOOLISHLY, BREACHING THE NORMS AND MORALS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. THE BIG QUESTION SHOULD BE 'WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR THEM?' AND WE MUST ALLOW BOTH OF THEM TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES.
WE HAVE ECONOMIC CRISIS ON OUR PLATE TO SETTLE FOR TWO-NAIVE-YOUNG-LOVERS.
