We have more details about the 15-year-old who was married off to an allegedly demented man from the wealthy Igwilo family in Ozubulu community in Anambra state.


Activist, Prince Harrison Gwamnishu, who visited Anambra state after the story went viral, said the said girl is from Ihiala community and is actually 15 going on 16.

Harrison in an interview with LIB, said the girl is from a very poor family and that she had a child when she was in primary 5 and had to quit school. Her family couldn’t continue sponsoring her education and also taking care of her child so they decided that they were going to marry her off to Izuchukwu who came recently with his family members to ask for her hand in marriage. Acording to the family, they believe no one would come for the little girl’s hand in marriage since she has a child.

Harrison says the Igwilos really want Izuchukwu to get married and also have children of his own, hence they have accepted to have the girl come into their family with her own child. Izuchukwu’s brothers, who are said to be wealthy, have pledged to sponsor the girl’s child and any children she and their brother will have together.

The traditional wedding of Izuchukwu and the teen girl is slated for Easter this year and, according to Harrison, a lot of money running into millions of Naira has been budgetted for the ceremony.

Until the girl come out of Igwilo house we aren't giving up.

You better start asking girls their age before coughing with them because you're not good at spotting kids

she look above 21

These ones no go mind their business now... Do shits just to trend.

I hope when you get the girl out of the Igwilo's house, you won't come online to beg for money to help send her to school or take care of her little baby. You think its just to get her out now and in a year, you scram...

God help us all.

These are abokis living in Igbo land.
No Igbo can do this, only almajiri abokis

Watch all the brothers nack the girl secretly for Izuchukwu once she enters their home

The headline though.
From what I read they are not yet married.So why the confusing headline.

I hope this marriage doesn't pull through the girl is still a minor.
At what age was she in in primary 5 that she got pregnant?

The man is too old for her he should marry his size.Poverty should not be the reason why this young girl with so much to live for should marry an old man at such a young age.

Let them leave her alone.Her family is not even helping matters should who would marry a 15 year old with a child be their problem now?

This is happening in Igbo land... Nawaoh

The girl self done spoil.

the man looks like TWD zombie.
the girls parent go poison d man and claim the piece of land he has cos he doesnt look like he is rich

wether she is 15 or 15 going on 16 she is still to young for a 56 yr oldman.dat man is old enuf to be her father biko.exploiting her cos of her poor background.very sad.

Anambala people are not igbos..ask an average onitsha man he will tell you he isn't igbo...so igbos don't do underage...we're too educated for that.

The lady's ramblings are stupid. The guy won't do anything to her as she claims, so what seems to be the problem here? Because the way I see it, the situation would have been more the same or even worse had she remained with her family. For one, she had a child at such a young age, which the writer herself blames on her home situation. Now she's been married off to a wealthy family, that to a husband who's incapable of exploiting her sexually. She already has a child, no doubt her in-laws will help take care of her & the child. Isn't that better off than to remain at home with her parents, where she could be taken advantage of again, which may lead to another pregnancy with no father in sight? Her arranged marriage imo, is the better of two evils. At least she's not out there popping her p*ssy to different men, in exchange for a plate of food or money. The outrage is a bit ridiculous considering that at home she didn't fare any better.

16 years old don reach to collect 6 inches na..

Underestimate the car but not the engine.. Pvssy wey don born self.. E go don wide to sample

Look at them..they are so sentimental... If this happened in the North, these bigots will say all sorts against Islam but now that it is from their place all they were focusing on was poverty. Hypocrisy of the highest order.

Many of their girls at that age has had more adult experience than some adults, so marrying at that age is a crime.

Look at them even attacking each other on this thread... Enugu vs Anambra, Biafra super league
