What Our Mediocre Senator Should've Done. by danielarem(m): 10:52am On Jul 22, 2013 |
SENATOR AHMED.S. YERIMA SHOULD'VE FIND SOLUTION TO THE POVERTY WHICH IS THE MAJORS PROBLEM IN NIGERIA INSTEAD OF THIS UNPROFITABLE LAW. Early marriage is a fundamental factor of child abuse, these children who are laboured about in our communities are our children. They are the leaders of tommorrow as aged ones are dying up the younger ones replace them. They are our future hope and pillars, without which the future may look bleak in terms of development, because all these law exhibiting children grow up to become useless in the society within which they live, hence set back in the society. This issue of early marriage is more common in the northern part of Nigeria where the children are being denied their rights including the right to western education. As the case may be, these children turn out to be loosers in whatever perspective because some of them may not concentrate to learn even the spiritual knowledge they are sent for talkless of the western education. They are automatically denied. Usually some family gave out their daughters when there is high striking poverty line in his family to take care of her essential needs such as sustenance. Some daughter are forced to early marriage simply when they lose their parents and when their relatives or guardians cannot keep them. A child is usually taken away from her parents, her relatives, and her home to some remote areas for the purpose. At the end of the day after 8 to 10yrs in marriage the child will be divorce and her future will be ruin. This exercise is prevailing in the northern part of Nigeria as the Hausa/Fulani are predominantly Moslems and settlers of the north. Social psychologists also noted that when a child is exposed to labour called early marriage at a tender age and deprived with little or no benefit and entertainment, such child normally develops the habit of loneliness and thus lead to schizophrenia, therefore children’s right must be protected, preserved and maintained, similarly they should be given equal rights and priviledges as adults for a brighter future. The primary or basic children’s needs are right to education, health, entertainment, association, interaction, shelter and nutrition. Once these essential needs are provided, there is no doubt that they can't perform wonderfully in their undertakings and can deliver as leaders of tomorrow |
