Yeah, I'm a Northerner and a Muslim but I'm 100% against this practice. What I want Nigerians to understand is that not all Northerners are supporting this act, more than 80% of Northerners are against this. Most of the people that practice this are villagers and some villagers are against it, Infact ISLAM is against it.

Traditional rulers and Islamic scholars are trying thier best to see the end of it (you know how stubborn villagers can be) So please just because some few among us are practicing it doesn't mean the whole region or religion is supporting/encouraging it.

In all my years as a Southerner, I HAVE NEVER SEEN even a case of child-marriage. Prove me otherwise and show me ONE, just ONE CASE! Shariah law and all its attendant stupidities and medievalism are not present ANYWHERE in the South. If otherwise, show one ONE CASE of it.

Terrorism is NOT present in the South. Southerners do not go about blowing up themselves for God, kidnapping female children for sex-slavery and child marriages, blowing up religious places, markets and other gatherings.
Religious intolerance is also not present in the South. Muslims can build mosques anywhere and have peace of mind. There is no segregation or special areas (Sabon Garis) for Muslims in the South. If otherwise, prove me wrong.



I can go on and on but I have made my point. Until you prove me wrong, better start accepting the fact that your region is f*cked up and needs emergency intervention to set your people's brain on a more progressive scale.

it is none of ur business man, his life his choice, some marry their mates, some their mothers, while others go for grandees.. he decide to have much younger. it has nothing to do with u no matter how much u hate it. u can't stop it

It's people like you that have brought backwardness upon Africa.

So, you're an advocate of child marriage?


I weep for you and the woman that will choose you as a life partner

halimi26:

I feel sorry for folks like you who are filled&blinded by hate and ignorance because "the Northerners control everything and blah blah blah".There are ethnic, christian,moslem and even traditional extremities present in every region in Ngr.
By the way,every ethnicity and race is present in the North and Christianity is [b]NOT a minority religion in the North.

Yes...men in the South dont marry under sixteen year old girls but many of them have sexual relationships with girls in that age bracket.I suggest you take a stroll past any hotel one of these days and see for yourself.The men from the South also practice thesame actions here in the North

Do you really want to compare the 90% illiteracy rate in Nigeria's north to the less than 50% in the South? In fact, Nigeria ranks high in so many negative things because of your region alone. Southerners have swallowed so much to share a country with you guys yet you don't even appreciate it. Even with all the oil money coming to your region freely from the Niger Delta, you guys are still living in the 17th century while the rest of the country is trying to progress.


Yet Nigeria lags behind in education, no thanks to the endemic illiteracy, ignorance, bigotry, intolerance and uncivilization in the Northern region.

Tribal sentiments apart, it's sheer stupidity and an act of pedophilia for a man to wife a 15 year old girl

It doesn't make sense at all

halimi26:

Like i said,you are a child filled with hateYou will achieve nothing with this your hopeless mindset
It has been said over and over again,the niger delta receives more oil revenue from the ngr federation than any other region in the country but due to the inept mindset of the public administrators over there,you guys continue lagging behind in every facet of life.
You guys are your own problems NOt the North.
The poverty in the Southern part of Ngr is soooo horrible,it makes my skin crawl
What about the disgusting ignorance of the majority of its populace?Sickening

But instead of blaming the husband, should we not be blaming the Religion that sanctions it?
Remember that Muhammedan, the grandfather of Paedo himself (SWT), married a 6yr old kid!

That's true. Their hero, Mohammed is also the king of paedophile. I hear he married a 9 months old girl or so

I have nothing against Northerners controlling whatever. In fact, I have always been a defender of the North on nairaland. Many IPOB youths know me for that. However, I cannot defend or keep quiet in the face of backwardness and incivility when I see it.

Yes, there are extremists everywhere. I know for certain that many Nigerian Christians are fanatics. However, Christian fanatics HAVE NEVER bombed themselves, places of worship, market places, etc, or kidnapped children, massacred them in their beds, raped them serially, sold them off, etc, in the name of GOD! NEVER!

Child abuse is rampant in the South, I agree. But the difference between the South and North is that Southerners DO NOT SEE IT AS A NORMAL THING In fact, no Southern parent will give a girl-child of less than 20 years out for marriage! The so-called child molesters that go to hotels do so clandestinely because of the fear of social repercussions and outrage. In the North, however, it is perfectly LEGAL. Marriage ceremonies are conducted with girls of 10 years or even less. THese girls are then raped, gotten pregnant and made to suffer VVF. Parents boldly give 10-year-olds to 70-year-olds in the name of "our culture", even in this 21st century! Such a pity! Such a shame!

Christians are in the North, I agree. However, both of us know that Northern Christians don't practise this aberration called child marriage. Northern Christians are treated as infidels. They can't stay in the heart of the town. They have to stay at Sabon Garis. They can't erect churches anywhere they want. It only takes a little provocation in France or England and all the Northern Christians will be massacred in their sleep

So much for one Nigeria!

Jiang:


Well done bro, tell em pls, even those people that encourage that child marriage refused to understand the hadith & verses completely therefore end up mistakenly taking certain events out of context.

Marriage in islam is regulated a girl must reach puberty & maturity plus she has to consent willingly & not by force.

But some people just take the reach Puberty part & pretend the rest of those conditions don't exists

No matter the amount of poverty and suffering in the South, the worst village here is FAR BETTER ON ALL SCALES than the best city in the core North! Give the South good leaders and most of our problems will be gone.

On the other hand, the problem with the North is endemic. In fact, no government, no matter how good hearted, can solve the Northern problems. You guys have to rethink your stagnant status first before you can even conceive of solving your problem.

@1st bolded The majority of moslems in the North never supported Boko Haram activities.Many of them were also afraid of them because they killed EVERYONE and it didnt matter what religion you practiced.All they wanted to do was terrrorize


@2nd bolded Neither do Northerners.Those who practice such are some of the lowest of the low in the region so quit trying so hard to paint us in a negative light and no, men in the South dont have affairs with under sixteen year old girls in private.It is very,very open over there.I have seen it many,many times


@3rd bolded Garbage! Garbage!! Garbage!!! I am a Northern christian who has lived all my life in the Northand i and other christians have never encountered such.The moslems mind their business and so do the christians.I have never experienced any harassment for practicing my religion.Quit swallowing lies hook,line and sinker

fratermathy:


You see... When the founder of a religion is a paedophile, what else do you expect from the followers?

But let's not even pin this on religion just yet. This may a strictly Northern thing because Yoruba Muslims, Nupe Muslims, Ebira Muslims, and other Muslim dominated groups in the Middle Belt do not practise child marriage or show any of the extremities and intolerances found in the core North.


So is it that the brand of Islam found in the aforementioned areas is different from the one found in the core North? No wonder core Northern Muslims consider Muslims from the South and Middle Belt as infidels too. Given the chance, they'll treat them as badly as they do Christians in the core North.

fratermathy:


To start with. You are a liar for saying you are a Northern Christian. Christians do not answer "Halimi" and I am sure that is not a tribal Hausa name too

Secondly, Muslims supported Boko Haram from the very onset. In fact, the current President Buhari even called out Jonathan for trying to arrest Boko Haram members. The change of sentiments for Boko Haram ONLY came because the group started attacking Muslims. If Boko Haram had stuck to attacking Christians and Churches alone, the support would have even grown greater. When Boko Haram saw no churches and Christians to bomb anymore, they moved on to Mosques and Muslims. That was when Northerners started speaking out against the group.
Even till now, Boko Haram still gets funded by wealthy Northern Muslims. They get supplies, motivation, manpower, etc, from Northern Muslim supporters! This sort of thing CAN NEVER EVER happen in the South, even among Southern Muslims.


It is not only the lowest of the low that practise child marriage. Stop trying to reduce the intensity of the despicable act. Was the Emir of Kano not the one that shielded Yunusa (the abductor of Ese Oruru, an underaged girl)? Are child marriages not going on in the various state capitals in the North? Even the child bride in this story resides at Abuja, the capital of Nigeria! Why hasn't her husband been arrested for paedophile yet? What about your shariah courts, do they or do they not support child marriages? We all know the truth so quit lying to yourself in order to positively portray your region when we both know the truth.

Lastly, you say Muslims and Christians mind their business. Why won't they when Christians have been forced to cluster together in Sabon Garis? Or do you deny that Christians lack freedom of speech, movement, dressing and social life in the core North?

Hate me or love me, detest me or agree with me, I know I will go to bed tonight knowing full well that none of my sisters or daughters will be auctioned off to an Alhaji someday. I know I will sleep well knowing that "Allahu Akhbar" chanters won't cut off my neck in my sleep due to slight provocation. I know I can choose to stay anywhere I want to stay without fear for my life. I know that I can walk through the streets and find even the most uneducated person speaking and understanding English or its Nigerian Pidgin variant. I know I won't go to the market or church and one extremist will come and shout "Jesus is Lord" before blowing up everyone therein. I know I won't see hordes of illiterate youths and children roaming the streets in the name of "Almajiri".

You guys should borrow a leaf from Gambia, Senegal, Tunisia, Morrocco, etc. These are all Muslim majority countries where there are progressive minded people and substantial development when compared to Nigeria's North. Islam is not your problem. Your problem is ignorance and the lack of acceptance of your endemic problems.
