Well understood Senator. We know those who jump on bandwagon are not the intelligent ones. That Section 29 NEVER mentioned or endorsed child marriage. As long as it serves some emergency activists purpose, they conveniently twisted the whole thing. Stella Damascus even made a video highlighting her misinformation. Many cosmetic activists on twitter, facebook and even here on nairaland needed to get busy, so they picked on Yerima. When they all settle down to digest the bill, I hope the reasonable ones among them will retract and apologize. 24 Likes |

Senator sir, I think you need a psychiatry evaluation urgently. You mean there is nothing wrong in declaring a married 13 year old baby wise enough to renounce her citizenship?? Ode!!! 19 Likes |

Be humble and apologise for voting in error instead of justifying the content of what u voted. The fact that the prescribed age for marriage was not specified n within the context of senator Yerima's argument on the issue before voting you should have known better that a trap was set for people like u who only consider d content of a constitional provision without considering the context n wider implication. The question then is why was it that u were d only senator from the south west that voted that way?...the best is to just say sorry 4 voting in error or ignorance. 28 Likes |

So why did that Yerima guy make some speech on the floor, saying that to go against that would be to go against Islamic Law? In using Islamic law as reasoning behind any law, doesn't that conflict with the whole idea of Nigeria being a secular state? How does an underage girl get married in the first place? Then once she is married, she automatically becomes "of age"? Also in his response to his critics, he mentioned that he too could give out his kid daughter. I'm not a Lawyer, so I wouldn't mind if anyone takes me to school on these questions raised. Just trying to fit the pieces together. 10 Likes |

This man is just A SORE LOSER and a FREAKING HYPOCRITE, and did I mention a LIAR? How about this? The people of Mr Akinyelure’s Senatorial District on Monday staged a peaceful protest in Akure, the State Capital against the voting of the lawmaker representing them in the Senate for supporting the child marriage bill.

The 1979 constitution did not contain provisions for renunciation of citizenship. During constitutional review debates in 1979 Aminu Kano (the leader of the PRP) felt that the age of 18 years used in subsection 4a was an arbitrary western concept of maturity. The legislators in 1979 at the time agreed with the PRP argument and subsection 4b was included. That section has been in the constitution since then. It reads thus (I've also included subsection 4): 29. (1) Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation. (4) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section. (a) "full age" means the age of eighteen years and above; (b) any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age. The constitution is currently being amended and rights groups have called for the deletion of subsection 4b. You need 2/3rds majority of votes in the senate, house of representatives and 2/3rds of all the state houses of assembly in order to amend the constitution. 2/3rds of the senators present at that time = 73 votes. The senate voted and more than 73 senators voted that 4b should be deleted. The senate moved on to other clauses. A while later, Senator Yerima raised a point of order that subsection 4b cannot be deleted because deleting it is against islamic law. He stated that in islam, a woman is deemed to be of full age once she has gotten married. The Senate President, David Mark, reminded Yerima that the Senate has a tradition that it does not re-visit a clause once it has been voted on, but Senator Yerima continued to protest. Eventually the Senate President agreed to hold a second vote. This time 60 senators voted that the subsection should be removed, while 35 voted that it should not be removed. They couldn't get 2/3rds majority. Section 4b stands. I wonder why Mark agreed to hold a second vote. Some have said that the ambiguity in section 4b could lead to the legalisation of marriages of people under the age of 18. However, others argue that it won't because, according to the Child Rights Act, it is illegal to marry anyone below the age of 18. The marriage would be illegal at the time it is being contracted, while section 4b deals with a woman that is already married. But note that the Child Rights Act has only been domesticated in 24 states. 14 Likes |

superior1: Senator sir, I think you need a psychiatry evaluation urgently. sir, who is the married 13 year old you're referring to here? let me quote the section of the nigerian constitution that addresses naturalization eligibility: 27. (1) Subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, any person who is qualified in accordance with the provisions of this section may apply to the President for the same of a certificate of naturalisation. kindly note the bolded! |
