Good. These are the kind of news i want to hear. Our law makers have woken up frm their slumber. Thanks to Jigawa State law makers

Not sure what to think of this law. I would like to see paternity test law. Don't sign birth certificate til you know its yours. I've seen horror stories on internet about men find out its not theirs biologically. Women always know babies theirs.

Now that you're jobless or unemployed, have you gotten any benefits or support from the government, oh you've kids already, have you got any child support or benefits from YOUR govt?

my point is, HIV or other STD's test should be discussed between the potential couples, government should only encourage these set of people to know their status before getting married, not setting it as a pre-requisite before getting married, HIV couples can have kids without same disease if proper care is been taken in place, HIV is as deadly as Sickle cell...SIR i do advocate for equity than equality,just so you know, Alot of people get these disease from other related sources aside Sexual intercourse, but as Nigerians our main thought about the major method of contracting these diseases is via SEX, and hope you know how NEWS FLIES MORE THAN AIR in naija, imagine your ex is actually the nurse in one of the hospitals where you were checked and either you or your spouse has the disease, what will happen?

HIV is ravaging the area...despite all the education. This is a way to at least make those planning to marry to think twice before engaging in practices that can make them contract the virus. Not saying this is all good.... but the good by far outweighs the bad.

sorry, if I sound rude or harsh with my last post, but I still think it's so wrong for the government to set rules or conditions for getting married, I mean we ain't talking about GAY Marriages here just as we ain't talking about BESTIALITY, but it's marriage between TWO HUMANS of assumed NATURAL marriage and you're already discriminating as per their mental been? isn't that incredible already?

This is not about their mental state!...it's about their health... physical health. I'm not saying it's right for the local government to make that declaration. .. it's ehmm... a bit wrong but I can shut my eyes to this wrong since the end would justify the means. We would all be better off since we refuse to voluntarily do the needful ... just being selfish.. not considering how our choice is affecting the society as a whole.

You're very right and I think I'm not wrong as well, but tour government should act in the same way and process by which every sane country DOES.

Good move from JG Govt, although coming quite late. While I was based there in the recent past, I heard of a no of deaths caused by AIDS. Most of the locals really need to be enlightened.
