phildon: That is Nigeria and her gullible youths for you. I think the Senator's explanation is just too clear. If you have anything against Senator Yerima, I think it's entirely a different issue. If you actually believe this guy, you deserve an award for your gullibility... Most Gullible Youth in Nigeria (MGYN) |

When we were in secondary school(precisely SS1 and 2) some gov'tal and NGO came to my school to teach us about HIV/Aids and "safe sex". Most of us then were between the ages of 15-20years old. We were taught all we need to know about AIDS and various modes of "safe sex" ranging from proper use of condoms and other forms of contraceptives as we were considered the vulnerable age group. To some of us that was the first time we got to know about our anatomy and that of the opposite sex. And some were eager to practicalize it at the sligthest oppotunity. As it were,it made us know more about safe sex and also "ways to have it wihout mummy and daddy knowing" but what about God? What about our African values and or morals? To some they gave them licence for premarital sex,therefore it was not suprizing to find used condoms around during the extension periods. If he/she's mature to know about sex,and have pre marital sex,then its better you marry her off,simple. I believe that's the stand of some. Moreso,an under aged child can still go to school even after marriage,so what are we ranting about pen not p*nis? But what's the justification of arranging a marriage for a little girl that is not even aware of her body yet? Why will a little girl go through the agony of painful intercouse,pregnancy,labour,and nursing another child? Well,if that can bé done for the girl child,how will you feel if they introduce you to one grand ma as your wife to bé? Lol,but what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. In as much that under aged marriage seems to have lots of advantages(it prevents promiscuity,and preserve good morals; and lots more) it also has its disadvantages not withstanding. Whether you marry her off at 8,18,or 28 its your choice,but if left freely to make the choice for herself then she'll appreciate it the more no matter the age. For me,I have seen a virgin at 32years,I have also seen a 14years old boldly confessing the number of d**k she has collected. So it doesnt matter,if peson wan spoil ego still spoil weda na husband house she dey. Its a coin that has two sides,there's no bad choice,it can either bé head or tail. So which ever camp you belong to,bé wise and dont bé too sentimental or try to impose your choice on another(try to see it through the other person's eye). On this note FGI rest his case. Enjoy the rest of the day friends! |

naptu2: 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. |

Usually the National Assembly sets up a joint committee when it wants to amend the constitution. The committee is made up of senators and members of the House of Representatives. The Deputy Senate President usually acts as chairman of the committee, while the Deputy Speaker of the House acts as deputy chairman. The committee holds sittings across the senatorial zones of the country to get the opinions and ideas of the people. Some people want state creation, others want independent candidates, etc. The committee collates these proposals, goes back to Abuja, fine-tunes the proposals and presents them to the two houses. Section 9 of The Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) spells out the process that is required in order to amend the constitution. (Note: section 29 (4b) is not a new provision. It has been in the constitution since the 1980s). The senators and members of the House vote on the proposals on a clause by clause basis. In order to amend any section of the constitution, at least 2/3rds of the members of the Senate and 2/3rds of the members of the House and 2/3rds of the members of 2/3rds of the state houses of assembly must vote in support of the amendment. The constitution is amended when these members vote in favour of amendment. The bill does not require presidential assent. |

ola_pluto: 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. guy drop this your point. Giving a child of 13 a right to renounce her nationality on the grounds that she is married is the same thing as giving her an adult status. Giving her an adult status is thesame as saying it is ok for her to be married at that age in the first place. It is a clandestine means to create a crack in the wall for the real thing to be sneaked in without the public noticing. A clandestine way of legitimizing a marriage to a child. It is called a smoke screen. You think Yerima and his likes do not know what they are doing? That law, however you want to describe it should be deleted. 2 Likes |

According to what he said last night on OSRC he said ' he did not know that the other people will not follow ' but to me either he said it or not, either he vote or not, He is from Yoruba and he knows what our culture and customs are, he didn't suppose to vote. If denies that he did not vote, that's a big lie |

babagy82: Yes they voted for underage girls to be married, so what?? even if they vote for or against underage marriage, young girls must marry. We are in Nigeria where things dont always work constitutionally. I cant marry a girl who is below 20yrs of age, but i dont see anything wrong if someone marries a girl of below 18. Adultery and fornication is very bad in islam, and the best way to protect your self from commiting those sins is by getting married if you have the means,thats what our religion tought us. Lets Stop decieving ourselves, if i go to my village an then married a girl of 16yrs what will happen? Who will punish me for that? A senator married a 13 yr old girl what happened? Was he asked to resign? When goodluck removed fuel subsidy people protested, many lost there lives those that bring the price of PMS bask to 65 naira? This is another waste of time e-warriors. Find something more productive to do. You and yerima dey use the same ret@rded logic , una be neighbours . no be una fault , sick ppl |

Hmmm...so this clause has been in the constituition since the 80's and no one raised issues about its ambiguity till now? Anyway,its unfortunate that its majorly southerners that are making so much noise for or against d clause cause' those really affected i.e. The northerners are really not aying anything. From what I've read about d child bride practice in Northern nigeria, both the rich and poor,literate and illiterate practice it, so while these so called activists are calling on us to sign protest letters and what not,if they really want to make an impact...they shld look at the big picture. Whether, d Nigerian constituition validates or invalidates the act of marrying children off, these northerners wld continue their practice if their minds are not reformed. it took years to convince alot of them about the benefits of childhood immunization, so you can imagine how much work it wld take to re-educate parents and their children(cos I read even some of the girls look forward to being married off). Seriously, this campaign should go beyond making noise all over the internet, I can assure d man with 12 daughters in a remote village in Jigawa does not have access to the internet and definitely does not know about this debate...lets educate these people esp with the enlightened one from among them. 3 Likes |

Who is this man's PR that can't write proper English? That being said, we Nigerians's aren't fools. Why would the constitution have to clearly state that "a married woman is deemed to be of full age to renounce her CITIZENSHIP". Doesn't that imply that woman is underage in the first place? Or does a 30 year-old woman become "unfull" of age after she marries? What we want is for that clause to be removed. Simple. If he voted for it not to be removed, he by extension voted for underage marriage. 1 Like |
