@ Capone . . . plenty of information but saying nothing at all.
Yes you put up lists of "famous people" who married first cousins but we all know that such is now against the law in ALL developed countries BUT muslim nations.

This nonsensical idea of struggling to legitimise islamic idiocies by quickly reaching for the same bible you all claim is lost or corrupt exposes you people as hypocrites of the highest order.

@ Dawi
I am surprised at the sort of hatred of the northerners or muslims coming from your mouth. I am surprised that people who claim to be enlightened could be racist and tribalist. Are you Christian? Why should the belief and way of life of  muslim bother you. I don't even expect the way of life of a Christian to bother a Muslim either.

Let's be tolerant and respect each others' culture's and religion. We were tolf that Christ came for the Jews. But it was the so called "Gentiles" that accepted him and still worship him today.

Do you want me to tell you about what the so called Christian leaders have done? I am not a religious person and I am not holding brief for any damn religion.

The Jews don't bloody care about Christ or Christianity. The Prophet Muhammed in all history never fought any war with Christians. He even advocated a better treatment for Christians and Muslims living among the Muslim communities.

Do you know about the role the church played in the Jewish holocaust? Do you know what the crusaders did to Jewish women in Jerusalem? Do you know why the Pope apologized to the world over the role of the Roman Catholic church in 2006?

I come from a family of Christians and Muslims. I come from a family where I have Yoruba, Edo, Ibo, Ghanaian, Americans, Swedes and Hausas as family. I don't have any myopic view about anybody or tribe.

So my friend stop the hate game. Have you faced any racist taunt in Europe or the US? Then ask any one who is widely travelled.

We are trying to stamp out racism and fanaticism and I am surprised that when confronted with the truth you are still hell bent on denying the fact.

Do you want to deny that Jacob did  not marry two sisters? Do you want to say that Joseph and Mary are not cousins? When did the States in US abolish the marrying of first cousins.

My fellow Nairalanders, why persecute the muslims? Don't you remeber it is in USA and Europe you find men marrying men? Is it not the so called Whites that get married to animals? Are these not sodomy?

Look at the rate of abominations taking place in this lands.

Why is that in Yoruba land 80% of the couples don't wed before marrying. Why is there a very high rate of adultery. (Eyin Yoruba mi ema binu mo kon soro ni).

I love all Nigerians warts and all. One love

Dawi I don't mean to ilk you but saying the truth so see better and act enlightened. You and I a better than all this petty talk.

Let's ask questions to get understanding of our country and fellow country men.

Thanks

Osisi, you are back again. I thought we are trying to understand different perspective about our respective cultures and tradition here without being unneccessarily judgemental. I really wouldnt like to flex muscle on these trivial issues just as i have so much respect for our southern muslim brothers and sisters.

Having said that, i challenge anyone out there to objectively juxtapose the muslim north candour and decency vis-a-vis any class of people or civilisation. We found comparative basis just because we are talking about legal marriages but when it comes to promiscuos atrocities like the obasanjo type we can't even find areas of even semblance of commonity between the decent, shy, religious and morally impeccable northern muslims with the so-called western oriented civilised south.

You cannot openly sanction the marriage of cousins but you may see nothing wrong with illigitimate sexual liason between them. Adult Cousins of different sexes share same bedroom and conveniences in the simple pretence that its the same flesh while in real sense the unimaginable relationship that transpires within them can best be left to the dogs.

i really didnt want to embrass anyone here but the tone of misguided condemnation should have being better reasssessed or at best employ more caution before clicking the keys.

Hot out of the Press:
Quote
A government minister has warned that inbreeding among immigrants is causing a surge in birth defects - comments likely to spark a new row over the place of Mu.slims in British society.

Phil Woolas, an environment minister, said the culture of arranged marriages between first cousins was the “elephant in the room”. Woolas, a former race relations minister, said: “If you have a child with your cousin the likelihood is there’ll be a genetic problem.”

The minister, whose views were supported by medical experts this weekend, said: “The issue we need to debate is first cousin marriages, whereby a lot of arranged marriages are with first cousins, and that produces lots of genetic problems in terms of disability [in children].”

Woolas emphasised the practice did not extend to all Mu.slim communities but was confined mainly to families originating from rural Pakistan. However, up to half of all marriages within these communities are estimated to involve first cousins.

Medical research suggests that while British Pakistanis are responsible for 3% of all births, they account for one in three British children born with genetic illnesses.

I hope you have been able to fathom why the northern muslims marry 1st cousins from your Arewa Community Forum. Can we have the answers now?
