Iranoladun:

It is high time we take the bull by the horn and review the 1999 constitution angry

I cann't imagine Yerima getting away with this while others are currently quietly engaging in child-marriage unchallenged in the north all under the guise of religious/cultural practise angry


Actually there's nothing quiet about it. Hundreds of thousands of such girls will be getting married this year (if you live near hausa people you'll know what i'm saying) and that's why you don't hear any uproar from them. To them it's like, "what the heck are protesting for ? It's only a marriage".

Where is your Wole Soyinka criticizing this dude? The joker can criticise the BBC over some documentary about Lagos, but I wonder if he's got anything to say about this act of paedophilia happening right inside his beloved country? Bloody hypocrites.

Someone tell me he already used big English to criticise and condemn this man?

I have only one question to those who tacitly or overtly support this governors action, or even those who are passive in this case.
[size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt]
Can you allow your 13 year old daughter to be married to a man Yerima's age?

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, a sound advice to quick finger pointers.

Ignorance is sometimes a bliss'
@ naija-doll, Bongo-man & PurestBoy and those of the same ilk; while abusing muslims and northerners for Yarima's alleged actions you continue to remain blissfully ignorant of the fact that your own CHRISTIAN LAW at the VATICAN, the highest level of christinity headed by the Pope, permits sex with CHILDREN AT THE AGE OF 12 YEARS.
If you don;t believe me here is the link:

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Europe )


Vatican State

There is an equal age of consent set at 12 years of age in Art. 331 (1).[35][36] When there is a relationship of dependence (like teacher/student, etc.) the age of consent is 15 years in Art. 331 (2).[35]

The criminal law was introduced 1929 and was the same law as the Codice Penale in Italy on 8 June 1929. Because of the death penalty, reintroduced in 1926 in Italy, the reference point was changed in 1969 to 31 December 1924, but this has no effect on the age of consent laws. The age of consent in the Codice Penale from Italy was changed in 1930, but this no longer had any effect on Vatican City. Vatican law provides that criminal suspects arrested in Vatican City are to be tried under Vatican law in Italian courts, while those who escape to Italy before their arrest are to be tried under Italian law, even if their alleged crime occurred on Vatican territory.[35]

In other words, what Yarima allegedly did is no worse than what is permissable by the Church, in fact he is well within the christian standard of morality and law, according to the Vatican - a law which still stands valid TODAY!


As for child abuse, well, we all know that CATHOLIC PRIESTS have a weakness for small boys (yansh).
Records of homosexual child abuse among the priesthood is legendry, spanning several decades and well documented along with the criminal role of the Pope in their cover up.
You can even say that, Yarima's alleged crime was more honourable; since he at least married his victim, whlile the priests did not; they just used the children ( some of them disabled) and dumped them traumatised.

Abuse Yarima as much as you wish for all I care; but while you abuse him along with muslims and northerners, you might as well abuse those catholic priests as well as the Pope and the church for comitting and condoning child abuse respectively.

Now that you are no longer ignorant of the above fact:Please, please, prove to this forum that you are not enthno/religious bigots; go on , abuse them in the same manner, and I will respect you for being liberal, progressive and objective.


By the way, freedom of speech is not a licence for disrespect or insults; please be advised. angry

@Me_Aboki,you are really thinking like an aboki,what has age of consent in Vatican got to do with an irresponsible senator marrying a 13 year-old ? undecided

Are you trying to justify his action? Can you give away your own 13 year old daughter to a 50 somethng year old man who recently divorced his previous teeenage daughter & has 3 other 'mature' wives? Can you reason at all?

Luqhas:

@frosbel, you are an ignoramus. You and your supporters as well as the so human right activist go to cranies of this country to see the rate at which illegal pregnancy is prevalent among the teens. A married you are all ranting and raving about it.

[size=15pt]If your fear is to prevent your muslim girls from having boyfriends & getting pregnant outside marriage/having abortions- whatever happened to parental responsibility and proper home training. Why adopt the easy way out?[/size]

Every parent prays and works towards their daughters keeping themselves from engaging in illicit intimacy,but marrying her off to old men is not the solution my friend.

As in the recently divorced (imagine a teenager already divorced)wife of Sani Yerima (he married her when she was 15 in 2006),is her life better of now? She's 19,with a baby,divorced & probably has VVF,  . . is this better for her?

Think hard,don't let babaric,pre-historic arab practices delude you.

And by the way,if he's intimacy starved,what happened to his other wives?  Lets stop justifying nonsense in the name of religion/arab culture.
Re: Ahmad Sani Yerima Disgraces Nigeria -BBC Report (example child bride pic posted) by Nobody: 11:05am On May 02, 2010
The hadith state that Aisha was taken to Muhammad’s house, as his bride, when she was 9 and she took her dolls with her as play toys.

    'A'isha reported that Allah's Apostle married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house AS A BRIDE WHEN SHE WAS NINE, AND HER DOLLS WERE WITH HER; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old. (Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3311)

    'A'isha reported that she used to PLAY WITH DOLLS in the presence of Allah's Messenger and when her playmates came to her they left (the house) because they felt shy of Allah's Messenger whereas Allah's Messenger sent them to her. (Sahih Muslim, Book 031, Number 5981)

    When the Apostle of Allah arrived after the expedition to Tabuk or Khaybar (the narrator is doubtful), the draught raised an end of a curtain which was hung in front of her store-room, revealing some dolls which belonged to her.

    He asked: What is this? She replied: My dolls. Among them he saw a horse with wings made of rags, and asked: What is this I see among them? She replied: A horse. He asked: What is this that it has on it? She replied: Two wings. He asked: A horse with two wings? She replied: Have you not heard that Solomon had horses with wings? She said: Thereupon the Apostle of Allah laughed so heartily that I could see his molar teeth.
(Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 41, Number 4914)
Re: Ahmad Sani Yerima Disgraces Nigeria -BBC Report (example child bride pic posted) by ayettymama(f): 11:12am On May 02, 2010
so shes old enuff to get married but not old enough to understand why she cant play with dolls according to her religion

hmmm hence why u cant really argue with these people- just leave them to do what they want

there really is no point bothering with them- they will still do what they want to do in the name of religion

whether its choppin off hands, molesting and abusing young girls exploding planes and buildings they will do it


dont the human rights organisations have other things to worry abt??

Well, let me make it simpler for you.
No, I am not justifying Yarima's action but merely pointing out to those who attacked him (naija-doll, Bongo-man, Purest Boy et al) based on his religion that their religion too is not any better on the issue.

[quote][/quote]

Again, are you not being just as myopic and religiously biased  as the people I have already mentioned?
Pre-historic/barbaric , ? I guess you have not been deluded by the christian value system that permits such babaric act in the Vatican City in this modern day and age.

Kindly ask the Pope to be responsible enough to expunge such babaric Christian law from his rule book , if you will please. After that you can feel free to stand on the moral high ground to criticise other religion and culture.

How can some one harbour so much hate for a particular group of people.Why cant you see that this is just an allegation.You had to go to the extent of posting picture of a kid bride you found on the net.I stay in Abuja and FYI the girl he married is a trained medical doctor.Since nobody BBC staff inclusive have met the bride in person you should try to add "alleged" when spraying this rumour further.
