Say No To Under Age Marriage by Ekpekus(m): 6:12pm On Jul 19, 2013
Following the shamefully decision by some members of the senate, either those that voted for or refuse to do nothing, concerncing the under age marriage act championed by Senator Yerima. I believe it is ernestly needful that Nigerians fold not their arms and watch this slide. Just as Andriod users are protesting the injustice of discrimination by mobile operators, we can also make our voice heard.

@Edward it is painful and sad that of all the problems and challenges facing the nation, some senators choose retrogression hence am not surprised that we can't achieve the MDGs by 2015!
Nigerians must say no to this. Its an insult to our sensibility.

Afican inferior complex, just because oyibo said 18 yrs and we must worship the masters, a girl at 13 can be natured enough physically and mentally to get married, for thousand of years that both oyibos and blacks marry their daughters at ages ranging from 12 upward what happen to them, kai marry the mother of jesus was pregnant with jesus at the age of 11 dats according to the oldest church. And beside check out the rate of teenage pregnancies, its pure hypocracy to oppose a marriage if a girls is under 18 for no just reason other than the oyibo said so, shame on some africans

I respect your opinion nevetheless I disagree with you. No matter how you try to paint it, you can't nuture a 12yr old physically. Go up north and see the number of underage having VesicoVaginal fistula or a rectovaginal fistula due to prolonged obstructed labour. This is not too common in the southern part of Nigeria cos most people marry at age when the pelvis are well developed and matured for delivery.
