This country is filled up with educated illiterates......We need to understand things before we begin to swing the religion carrot....The senate is seeking to know if its right to see all females that is married to be deemed an adult.The northern senators are looking at the clause in the constitution that says 18yrs old is the right age a female can denounce her citizenship and since not all has money to go to Egypt like senator Yerima and pay a bride prize of $100,000..And according to Islamic Law a man can marry an underage girl...So how can they help the poor Muslims that want to follow this Islamic Law....They only way is if they can remove this clause and say if a girl is married she can be seen as an adult thereby be able to renounce her citizenship through this legal loop-hole...So when they marry according to Islamic Law she can quickly renounce her citizenship since there is a law supporting her that all married females are deem to be adults and when you want to bring a charge against them in the court of law based on the Nigerian constitution which says all adults are from 18yrs old,they can show you a paper where she denounced her citizenship by law and live happily ever after according to Islamic Law....The real fight is how to keep the clause that not all married should be seen as an adult and not the fight of who should be or not be married because even down south we have customs where we can marry underage if we like but we don't just exploit it......Thats why soon i will be going into politics since i understand this word games better than a lot of people........lol
