..your personal opinion is a worthwhile asset. Perhaps you can champion a campaign to that effect. Nobody knows and feel the pain better except someone with the personal experience.

Trust me.. most girls get use to it and forget it quickly.. the mind of a child has suitable defenses to mask the trauma and provide an escape for the pain. as an adult, you may recognize the emotional distress it causes, but you would have built up a tough skin to it over time.

yes and the "Nigeria Police" in Awka will arrest and prosecute the rapist fpr Rape of Minor under Nigerian law, but the same "Nigerian Police" will not arrest a 65 year old Paedophile amir of Katsina for for his babaric kidnapping and forceful conversion to islam, forceful marriage and on-going RAPE of a 13 Year old Christian girl child.

Thats the difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
believe it or not bro, this problem transcends region and religion. The emir wasn't prosecuted because we live in a world where wealthy n influential people can get away with anything. There r people in the east who commit worse crimes but they r moving abt freely cuz of wealth n prominence. Google abt paedophile rings in America n Europe. I stay in Awka, i know what my eyes have seen. Politicians bleeping girls that r barely 16. who de arrest them?

Our emirs, northern senators, ministers, governors, (yerima) chairmen and others over to you. You send your daughters to the best school abroad until adulthood while you ruin poor people's children. Come to think of it, if you face only the north, child marriage will and can never be eradicated becos it also happens in other states that are not mentioned. Delta state is one of them and it does happens in many of their towns Ukwuani local government. Please, those toddler daughters needs help from marriage bondage.

it's all about the north again, total BS, taking panadol for another man's headache. bunch of hypocrits. if our sons and daughters at an early age want to get married we will permit them because to us marriage is done because of God and by his laws and not because of man and his laws.

....Are you sure?, a case study, I saw one young lady during my university days and she had slept with more than 50 boys at different times according to some friends of hers, in fact I am been considerate because if I had wanted to exaggerate, I would quoted her friends that said, uncountable guys had slept with her . However, I had kept wondering what could actually made a very good looking girl ended up as such. Then I realized it was Child Abuse that did the damage to her. This and many more has ruined the glorious future of the female child. As far as human emotion is concerned, it is eternally impossible to forget but can always pretend it never happened. Our society, especially some the northern part condone this atrocity which make it hard to fight against except women are ready to fight for their right. Lastly, there is no tradition that extol marrying a young girl at a tender age. Have you not notice VVF rampant in the north. If a tradition doesn't favour due to high death rate or high disease rate, shouldn't such tradition be thrown away? so many babies born don't even know their mothers due to this problems

You are right.. but it exists and it remains part and parcel of a tradition that has existed across the sahara till this present day. there is an awareness and a sense of caution.. the repercussions of child-marriage only manifests a symptom of a deeper disease which is tradition. It is easier said than done - Saudi is an example.. how deep can reforms go before it is deemed too liberal. too dangerous

Then the VP should be launching a campaign against under age banging/under age marriage by all the career pedophilic Randy he-goats in Nigeria.

Re: Osinbajo Launches End Child Marriage In Nigeria Program by UyiIredi(m): 12:49am On Nov 30, 2016
When the Sharia law practice in the North allows for child marriages. That's be difficult.
Re: Osinbajo Launches End Child Marriage In Nigeria Program by OPCNAIRALAND: 3:05am On Nov 30, 2016
We have six political zones in the country, each has its peculiar social/traditional issues.

In SW we do not have under age or child marriage issue.
In SS they do not marry children.
In SE they may not marry children but have under age girls used as baby factories.
In NC they do not marry children.
There are random cases of under age children marriage in NE.
In NW generally amongst all class and in every state in that region under age marriage is a cultural belief and right of passage.

In NW where the problem is widespread it is even more pronounced in the muslim religion.

So I am not understanding the nationalization of a ban on child marriage. This is a North problem, not a national problem, to that extent this gathering should include just stake holders in NW and somewhat NE to give support.

Im looking at the picture and I see the victim gender and guys in suit and tie. I want to see clerics in turban pulling rosary beads but none!


Im going to rate this program as a 1.....meaning it is a lip service and badly executed since the parties who have the problem are absent and their commitment to the program is equally unsecured.

...That's the problem with many of us here in Subsahara Africa. They lay claim to a tradition that kills and destroy lives yet the so called originators of this ideology will send their children to western part of the world to educate and expose them,i.e their immediate family members and extended ones while making the common family a ridicule to the society. Can you see reasons some people will decide to engage in terrorism? when they understand nothing about education. This is indeed perpetual slavery to our female child because if the male child with whom is endowed with strength to defend his female counterpart is subjected to slavery, then ,the female child is tended to continually be infected and dies of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF).. So disheartening.

good, now I get you. well the question should be does my religion forbid it and why and in that case I will you no it doesn't and again this is a cultural issue that is only getting one sided attention. even boys gets Married at a young age to to girls slightly younger than them. and pls define a child for me because from what I know to this activist even a 17 year old is a child and yet in many many European countries and states in America 16 year Olds are allowed to get married with the permission of their parents so who are they kidding.
