I weep for the lil girl.

Addressing this kind of issue to Emir of Kano is waste of time. Emir of Katsina at 76yrold and with many wives and grown children recently force-marry a 14yr old Habiba, pretty much same age with this girl Bilkisu, whom somebody kidnapped off the street and took to his palace as bride gift. Pressure mounted on him to release the girl to her parents but he issued fatwa that the marriage is irreversible. Out of shame he has not appeared in public since.

There is a problem in North. You all need to keep it confined up there.

To the fun part of this magana. Hausa or fulani or maybe both are freaking cclowns when it comes to marriage of underage girls. The exceed the boundaries and at end of day they attribute it all to Allah. "It is what Allah willed".

They dont see anything qrong to gift a small girl of 13 yrs old to a man 50yr old who has spent about 30yrs of his past life feeding eyes on women beauty and beating pussy. But the 13yr old has yet to develop the curves, the glow, the sensuality and seduction of an adult woman. So she is lacking in attractiveness and succullence that will charm a man and seductively lure him in. At the wedding if the man rejects the bride then thats it...no marriage, and its risky for the girl's future when she attains age. She has been rejected in past, men may not be interested in her now in maturity. So what do they do to fill in the gap and lure the groom into acceptance?

They use makeup to create an illusion of seduction in the girl and put veil on her to give the notion of a barrier...an untouchable but yet vulnerable. No matter the experience of the man in dealing with women, and his age, this trick works. Its like an intoxicated potion that works on virility, the man soon abandons his will and authorize payment of dowry and say yes to the marriage.

Sometimes the envelope of illusion created around the small frame can be so dramatic that she is painted in similar manner prostitutes mascara face to accentuate sexytude and draw a reluctant customer into their den for chop.

Next time you hear of a 10yr old or 13yr old bride in North study her lips, eyes, lashes, brows, cheeks, forehead and chest. It will irritate you that such a little child is being abused but you cannot fail to notice the fantasy around her. Devil has a palace in Northern Nigeria.
