freecocoa: The said girl isn't Nigerian, I'm not sure that part of the law applies to her.

She is now a Nigeria by the vertue of marriage

“Let me also talk to my own brothers and sisters who are Senators, who were probably blackmailed. That is the fact, because it is in the open that I cannot also hide it and nobody can hide it,” Mr. Mark said.

“They were simply blackmailed, and on that day, if they didn’t do what they did, nobody knows the outcome or how the consequences will be today, because the people outside can say this man, you are Muslim and didn’t vote for something that is of Islamic interest, because if we don’t hit the nail squarely on the head, we may never get it right.”


--- David Mark, Sen.Pres. Nigeria




Lmaoooo Nigerians, this guy that sounds like an illiterate is one of your leaders and in line to be President if the President and V.P met their demise today?!

Chei, you guys are finished.

Then again, lets take a quick look at your President and his Vice....

really u support it not disrespecting just surprised

Please let's not be distracted. This whole game is a charade to absolve yerima of jail term when his term as a senator ends! Have you forgotten that his immunity ends and the human rights groups are waiting for him for his Egyptian foray?

There is no religious or cultural slant to the intent. It's a diversion

freecocoa: The said girl isn't Nigerian, I'm not sure that part of the law applies to her.

Hummm. I don't think so. That section applies to anyone living within the territory of the country.

You ar wrong mate, it is also a crime in egyptt...that was the reason yerima did d weddin in nigeria and not egypt

You can lie o... Who told you its against Egyptian law and I thought you'd show us the pics of the wedding; showing you next to the couple.Liar!

I think we ar avin morons in dat house of assembly,wonder shall neva end,imagine d First Lady calls Gov Amaechi her Son, mind u she's 55 & Amaechi is 48, Did She marry Senator Yerima @ 7 ?

All this one is not Nigerian problem our problem is lack of Good Governance, period wetin concern us for early marriage after all we know no amount of law can stops it even in USA and some parts of the world some married their daughters below the age of 16.

What will senator yarima do with her, she is not his standard

[quote author=toprealman]Yerima and co are PEDO-PHILES.David Mark and co are confused thieves. Nigeria under GEJ's administration is a big joke.
[/quote, yerima or yeyeman which one abeg?

A nation void of justice is indebted 2 anarchy n doom,self centrednes is d mother of corruption n corruption is d bane of our society......GOD HELp us

Bunch of morons,the so called Mark wasn't there when they did the voting...smh,he's tryna turn the table..Ewu them!

So sad to let in religion into national law!

HNosegbe: The Senate president has still not addressed the issue closest to my heart.

Section 21 of the Child Rights Act of 2003, a federal law, states unequivocally that a child below the age of 18 shall be deemed a minor and not eligible to marry. The law goes on to stipulate imprisonment for those who break this law.

How come Sani Yerima is still a free man?

Have you not realised that constitution is for the 'common' man. These thieves are obviously above the law. They just make the laws- lawmakers abi, then we keep them.
They will all have their underage children RAPED unless they decide to do the RIGHT thing.

It seems as if Islam is a religion that brings trouble to the world. Yerima is just a foolish pedophile. I feel sorry for the young girls who are supposed to be living a normal life, but can't just because of some foolish old pedophilic fools.

Something for Senator Yerima to daydream about.....

Buddie, i am bigger than lockin horns in an arguement with u or call u names...but check ur facts. To marry a minor in egypt is illegal and its not here. So d weddin was held here
