I don't think he owes anyone an explanation. He hasn't broken any laws. As an Emir he is a traditionalist so cannot be held by standards beyond his domain and I donot know of any tradition that doesn't have its quirks. Let him be.

Even in Nigeria I have heard all this stuff as in Pius article about “north” and northerners. Again it is a failure to respect difference. There are parts of this country where parents expect their daughters to live with their boyfriends for years and actually get pregnant before they marry. It has become culture. We do not have that in the north and if your daughter gets pregnant before marriage she brings nothing but shame to the name. But we do not issue condemnations. We agree that this is how they choose to live. And I can give many other examples.

THIS MAN NAILED THIS...
SOUTH SOUTH IS COMPLETELY GUILTY OF THIS. TRUTH IS WE CAN'T ALL AGREE OF CULTURAL ISSUES

I do not have an issue with a culture that permits an 18 year old to get married since she is considered an adult (even though in my personal opinion age 18 is adulthood for an american or a European, not an áfrican. The growth and maturity levels are quite different. A 24 year old áfrican is only as developed as an 18 year old european. Yes adulthood should be 24 in africa) However what I do have a problem with is when the suitor is 40 Years older. Why can't the so called 18 year old adult be married off to a 23 year old man? Imagine 54 versus 18! How do you justify this?

Define the word paedophile? For God sake lets be real and frank, the lady is an adult and am sure consented. Methink it makes brilliant sense for an 18 year old to be married than an 18 year old to be a runs girl. Besides, she is furthering her education and no wedding takes place until she is 21. At what age do you think ur grandparents got married? I beg u in the name of God, learn to appreciate, tolerate even if u wont, cant accept cultures from elsewhere. By the way, I am a Southerner, nominal Christian. Do not be offended by my comments. Please.

#ChilnotBride,
there is a sinister motive to giving that girls the age 18.
The age was probably inflated to avoid criticism but
unfortunately for Sanusi, he is not innocent.

It's their way of life and if you do read and understand the article, He said this has been happening before his father and it's norm within the royal families and mind you an 18 years old european is dumber than 12 years old Nigerian..

What would you say of all these girls in the southern parts of Nigeria , who are married to men the same age as their fathers and grandfathers, How old was Binaca when she married Ojukwu, what of all the university girls following aristo, many of them are no older than this young lady.
I also disagree with your conclusion that 18 year old Europeans are more mature than their African counterparts, which is false, I am a Nigerian who spent all my teenage years growing in a modern European city with European, African. Asian,Hispanic friends I'm now a year short of 30, trust me I know.

I've meet many young international students and many who come from middle class families are some of the most resilient people I know; things that would break most people don't get to them.

As my mum said when the recession hit "We Nigerians don't fear recession, we were born into it and survived through the dark dictatorships under it" ; You might want to read up on the prevalence of suicide in young people between the ages of 14-35 yrs in europe

Please leave HRH Lamido Sanusi alone. He is getting married to an 18 yr old adult and the girl in question is continuing with her education

Didn't the 53yr old Prophet Mohammed start bumping uglies with Ayesha when she was 9 yrs old?

Sanusi, carry go joor!!!!
Re: Emir Sanusi's Response To His Marriage To Saadatu - Theheraldng.com by KDULAR: 9:19pm On Sep 29, 2015
The Emir is 100 % correct, there is nothing wrong in what he does in this matter. Some people just don't get it and will never, she's 18, an adult and consented. Omotola was 18. Marriage is not about sex, when some people heard marriage, the only thing that comes to their puerile mind is sex. To those who need some knowledge get to understand that chosing a wife to marry is not about procreation alone especially when you are of a social political status, and marriage is indeed one of the ways of consolidating cooperation between families, clan, kingdoms. The Emir has said all that needs to be said and whoever is still cynical or llack understanding after reading this must definitely either low in intelligence or simply mischievous.

some things go beyond culture or religion. Some things just don't seem right to the conscience! A 54 year old man versus an 18 year old girl just doesn't seem right. What happened to a 30 or 40 year old single woman for him, a 54 year old man? The guy just wants fresh blood. I doubt if we would ever hear of an 18 year old daughter of Sanusi lamido Sanusi being married off as a 4th wife to some 54 year old alhaji. Sanusi wont agree.

He should shut the f**k up and stop increasing the Nigerian population. He should be educated enough to know that having more wives means having more kids in Africa.

I so much have a lot of respect for these man, he just don't speak, he speak with fact, figures and back it up with history, which we lost in the name of civilization, I see where u hardly hear them killing each other on what their great grandfather left them, I see why u hardly see them going against each other in politics, they speak with one voice and support each other even blindly because they are brothers, sisters, they will keep ruling this country on till other tribes embrace their root and cultures.

U have my 100% support
