Dike Chimezie: Though i cant imagine and would never support such a marriage(underage or better still child marriage) metted on my relative,be it my sister,daughter,cousin etc but will u blame d average muslim for d indulgence,'NO' is my answer -because his religion supports it and we must start learning to respect it.Such marriage is d norm in d north.So for me,nothing strange,suprising or new -Stella was right in her own perspective so also d senator especially when he said it's a 'muslim thing' .
It is complicated.

nora544:
Do you realy know if this young wife of Senator yerima realy is happy with her life, she has to do what he wants, she has to open her legs if she like it or not.

nora544:

It is a muslim thing but it is not allowed in egypt and in many other muslim countries to marry at that age, why he married her not in egypt because in egyt he couldnot make it but in nigeria he can to it. What can a girl make when her parents sell her, she must stay with this man.

shymexx: Lmao!!

Anyway, why did all of you blow-cold after running around like headless chickens when the bill was signed? It's not even 3 months, yet it seems everyone has forgotten about it. What happened to the petitions?

Nigerians are jokers!! You lot just do everything based on following a trend without necessarily thinking things through. How can you fight against something that doesn't affect you directly without the support of those who're affected by it? - pick your battles wisely next time and stop the unnecessary and cowardly distractions!

I guess, "Shymmex" is now a prophet!

Lousy plonkers!

Uyi Iredia: MTN messed me up. The stream was disconnected.

I don't think religion was necessary for Yerima to justify the issue, though I note the comment by Stella on Muslims finding it okay. In any case, abuse (sexual, mental or physical) is a concern here and it is widely-held that children are more open to this since they lack sufficient knowledge. I note that Yerima's place has a high number of uneducated kids.

To cut to the chase, while I think the law should be upheld here I don't think all children below 18 couldn't be ready for marriage and childbirth, as a matter of fact, they can, more so when I consider that there exceptions in the rate of maturity in physical, mental and sexual aspects in various people.

WTF did you just write here?!

The law should be upheld.. So a law that allows for a grown Man to marry a Minor and defile em should be upheld. #NICE!


And whats that whole thing you wrote there about varying maturity levels?! What point were you trying to drive home? That if the girl is a minor but has 'matured' _{as in: Big Brest, Big hips, Big Yansh with Bib-bia all over her bia-bia region, she can be married off and fvcked..} abi?! Shey that was what you were trying to pass across or did I miss something?!
