Hello Nlanders,
the heat of the moment in Nigeria is on child marriage. There have been different debates, contributions, petitions been signed, and protests on whether it is right for girls 17 and under to get married. As a 17 year old girl, here is my take on child marriage.

I am AGAINST child marriage because:

I want to live a proper life. And by living a proper life I mean I will want to be happy in every aspect of my life. From my life as a teenager in general to my life as a young lady and in every other aspect.
I will not want a situation whereby I will be raped by my ''husband'' if I refuse to have se.x with him.
I will not want to have any sickness/disease for example VVF* as a result of giving birth to a kid when I am still a kid.
I will not want to contribute to the poverty of my beautiful country Nigeria, as a result of being a child wife without an education.
And last I will not want to be a child wife because if in the process of having children happen to have any sickness, I will be become a patient and my ''husband'' will most likely go and marry another woman(maybe another child like me).

Finally, I will like to end by saying that we children need a pen and not a p3nis and we need education and not ej@culation, thanks.
[size=16pt]People(especially girls 17 and under) should please contribute whether in support of child marriage or against, thanks[/size]

*VVF(Vesicovaginal fistula) is an abnormal fistulous tract extending between the bladder and the v@gina that allows the continuous involuntary discharge of urine into the vaginal vault. It is often caused by childbirth (in which case it is known as an obstetric fistula), when a prolonged labour presses the unborn child tightly against the pelvis, cutting off blood flow to the vesicovaginal wall. The affected tissue may necrotize (die), leaving a hole.

I'm in full support of your fighting , Nigerians women shouldn't let that happen. however i'm afraid that the same women esp the muslims one will undermine your work . u know their brain and body don't belong to them and they can't think properly.

Babiloko: jux admit it

They will most likely undermine it but I will not mind because they've been brainwashed from birth.

well I can create awareness but I am not so sure the Nigerians here will respond. Most of them are not interested in anything Nigeria. My only friend that is interested in Nigeria does not have a cellphone or laptop with her presently because her dad wants her to do well in school...by the way what will the awareness creation do?

awareness will create protest b it online or in the street . the people supposed to pass that bill are elected and they can't go against the will of the population. if they feel like no one is behind them they won't dare pass that bill . at least I hope/guess so
