Not all know the RIGHT THING.
Don't use one reasonable senator to judge other stupid ones.
In a CLASS of 100 students, some people must come top of the class while some others remain at the bottom....

That doesn't make all reasonable

What the man said is true...people should stop deceiving themselves!

101% Truth. (Marriage is for NONSTOP SEX and PROCREATION of CHILDREN)
Just marry and maybe your wife is unable to have kids, then you will know if you married her for Love or procreation.
Genesis 9:7
"Be fruitful then and multiply, teem over the earth and subdue it!"
Genesis 9:1
"God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, 'Breed, multiply and fill the earth."
Genesis 1:27-28
[27]"God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.
[28]God blessed them, saying to them, 'Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move on earth."

EVILFOREST:

What about INDIA and CHINA
CHINA has similar Land Mass with the US and Canada...
CHINA is 1.5 Billion.
INDIA is 1.3 Billion
US is 310 million.
CANADA is 36 million.

Meanwhile these COUNTRIES are 10 Times bigger than Nigeria.
..... and NIGERIA is 200 Fucking Million.
We are Finished. .... Situation can only get worse

Even worse none of those countries has a population that has doubled in 30 years like Nigeria. And even now Nigerian women refuse to embrace family planning.

The earth is already full of people and Africans do a bad job of taking care of kids.

Yes that is where we got it wrong
Bad child nurturing and up bringing.

i concur

After seeing the topic I'ld wanted to admonish him, but after reading the content, I saw that he was making a whole lot of sense

olaztek:
That's the reason we have so many divorces in our society.

And what about the divorce rate in the West?? Can it be compared to Africans? When a 30 years old woman has gone through 2 divorces already in the West..statistics proves your comment false.

PROBLEM dey Naija ooooo
The POPULATION is too much.
.... and most people belonging to this population are ANGRY.... terribly angry.

Unplanned KIDS with Unplanned Future

Mr. Senator is absolutely right. There is no love in Africa, an average African marry all bcs of offspring. Once a man got married, the next thing people around will be looking at is the wife's belle and they will start counting 9 months time for her

This is the bitter truth.

He Speaks The Truth. Love Is Nothing To A Nigerian Woman. Money And Children Are The Major Motives Driving Marriages In Nigerian That Is Why Problems With Marriages Are Rife.

So I am speaking from experience and I know how it pains that you have made a choice and you discover that the choice can’t work. Because in Africa, we marry for children, we don’t marry for love.”

At this point, Senate President Ahmad Lawan interrupted, saying: “Senator Chukwuka Utazi, I think you should be speaking for yourself.”


Hahahahaha my brothers in the northern part no go like that part, because I don't see anything called love from those who harboured more than 5 wife.

The kind of bill they sponsor in d house is laughable, this is nt a bill in a senile climes, its d needful. So we we ve nt been doing it because its nt enshrine in d law? , its truly owewerising dt dis is comn now! Now we are waking up.

opribo:
Exactly, the only one reason why you marry is for children.

It will be wrong to conclude this as the onle reason people get married. What about companionship?? ...especially in Ur old age. People marry for diverse reasons and maybe to some children might be considered as one of the major reasons..

mmsen:


Which Asia?

Asians aren't having 5/6 children anymore. Only Africans are foolish enough to do such in the age of contraceptives.

Stupid people.

What's wrong with having 5 to 6 kids? Just asking.

He's right to an extent, you will see some men and mother in law's disturbing the wife after few months of marriage because of pregnancy

You’re right

Amotolongbo:
The senator is saying the truth though.

When a man or woman is reaching a certain age, people start asking and looking forward to the time he/she will come on to settle down with a partner, not because they want him/her to be taken care of by the partner, but because of the offspring coming out of the Union.
Family and friends start anticipating for the fruits of the womb and less concerned about how happy they are being together. And in Africa we care more and more influenced my what is happening in our environment, environments (family and friends) dictate to us on how to live our lives.

If majority of us in Africa do marry cause of love, we need not always getting worried about the delay in childbirth or sex of the children given birth to.

He is actually refer to healthy children.. He is trying to say, one the reasons we married is children, so why can't the children be healthy?

Lol @ Utazi

Speak for yourself

malcom1X:


What's wrong with having 5 to 6 kids? Just asking.

Raising 5 to 6 children with this level of poverty here and now is not moimoi. Unless you want to train them our old ways.

By and large, during our childbearing years, we dream so much of a future successful grownups ( Male and female), who will support us when we are old, forgeting so easily what it takes raising them, and the overwhelming toll it will take on us physically and mentally.

So Sam Egwu still dey Senate.
Na wa oo

I think this post should be for the northern Nigeria, because what I see going on here is very very pathetic

Once you marry, awon womb watchers will show.

After two years of no pregnancy, the question will be about offsprings not happiness (nor love).

By the way...who asked the senator?
