Having rescued the girl, she should be empowered, if not the same poverty will make her parents marry her off to another person.

downs syndrome guy needs love too.

no slay queen will marry the downs syndrome guy.

note: a down syndrome guy can look older than his age.

Yes they do and the OP needs to be told that they are not aliens or products of African ritual whatever.
Real slay mama can marry a log of wood as long as money is available to be spent.
You are correct on ageing.....but we were told the man is a 56year old alcoholic.

The guy don lem plenty.Besides, she's pregnant for him.lol

So many of you are prejudice because the man is disabled.

He did not get her pregnant, somebody else did but the anger is on disabled man that decided to give her a better life that the parents could not provide.

Would it have been wise if the beef is about her getting good education no matter who provides it except Government.

Why do you think governments have to provide everything?

Keep consoling yourself. Child marriage is not common in the south. It is a normal thing in the north and yes you northerners have never failed to show your support for it to the point that a northern senator/politician sponsored the bill for the reduction of the age of consent to 11.

You all supported senator Yerima, Yenusa who abducted Ese and your religion also supports it as prophet Mohammed himself married a 6year old. So keep consoling yourself.

AMvanquish:


Oga. Emphasis is on it happens in the south too. Infact , it happens in most very rural parts of Nigeria. Just because Northerners don't come online to speak against it does not mean we support it..
And how did we support yerima?? You think I would want my sister married off at 13yrs.
You guys stereotype alot and that is not cool...

haladadon:

Give him your sister, or any of your female family member.

At 15 she dong already drop one, I don't knw who to blame on this, many factors must have led to that, poverty inclusive. However. Its a good thing that she was rescued. She is not an adult, hence should not be forced in to marriage.

Born2Breed:
The girl is a nursing mother, who got pregnant at a tender age and the man with special needs decided to marry her despite her situation.

The man did no wrong, infact both of them are doing each other favour.

haladadon:


what's wrong with the man?
you are biased.

he has downs syndrome doesn't mean he's mad.
stop all this things.

was it because of hunger that led the parents to give out their child to him?

.....Nothing is wrong with the man in question......Abeg if you get sister make you help the man out.....am sorry to be your second name......chief supporter.....?

Hahahaha ! "You all" "You Northerners". See youself. The same stereotype I just complained about. Believe what you want, it's no use arguing with you guys. Your mind is already made up about the North. No be today. It's an effort in futility. I don't have the energy.

All I see is a girl with the lowest self esteem ever...thanks to her parents.

They don't deserve to be parents at all because they clearly suck at it and that was why she got pregnant by a riff raff. Then the same stupid parents arranged her marriage to someone who is clearly not capable of taking care of her or raising kids.

Her stupid parents didn't care about all that. To them, at least 'someone' is marrying their 'burden' child. Why birth kids you can't raise properly?

If your daughter at the age of 13-15yrs has the aspiration of sleeping around or getting married, just know you have failed miserably as a parent.

Returned to same parents that married her off , or am I missing something ?

in dey wonda oh dis kind small girl prick go just dey sweet her any how......see am now you don born pikin at a very tend age.....go school you no enta class....bkus of prick you go dey waka any how.......?

Those of you asking others to give him their sister or relative, what if that is you or your brother?

Would you be this insensitive if he was your only son and still want a heir to your billions.

Some of you have gone further and marry a lady to a man you know is dead under as a stone. I mean can never perform.

Her education should be the main issue here.

So Igbo pple dey do child marriage?but why put this couple happy marriage asunder?

Keep consoling yourself oga. The facts on ground betray you; and the fact of the matter is that child marriage in the north is a gazillion times more common and accepted than it will ever be in the south.
To prove this, there has never been records of preteen marriages in the south but there has hundreds in the north. Even Islam encourages child marriages as the founder of Islam which is Mohammed married a six year baby.

SEONaijaExpert:
Very impressive to see this happen.

No girl child should be sent out of the house or be sold just because of poverty.

No girl child should be abused or be made a scapegoat because of lack of money.

A girl child is not an avenue to make money.

I'm happy she's back to her parents and I hope the same people that made this move would also clamour for some sort of financial support for the family.

She was not sold out because of money as you can see the guy she was married to is not even rich
She was married off like that because she gave birth in her father's house which is a taboo in Igbo land

Genset:

Read the report from the beginning.
The family of the man is very rich and his brothers promised to take care of him and the girl plus child.
The girl's family is very poor.

Why does that tell you?

I wasn't expected to be questioned about this. Even if she has had a child before, does that mean she should be thrown out to a man that's mentally unstable...a man that's way older and can even give birth to her? What kind of a taboo is that? This is common logic.

computergeek:
Hypocrite. She's 15 and even if she was an adult, she was forced into the marriage.

Don't worry. Shey you're in support. I prophesy unto your life. May you accept it when your 26-year-old daughter tells you she wants to marry a 56-year-old man with down syndrome, since you feel it's okay for someone else's daughter.

Abeg shut that your hypocrite prayer.
Do you even know the number of women undergoing even worse scenarios in Nigeria.
How many of them have you helped


Just to come online to be making hypocritical noise.


Nigeria is poverty capital. Nigeria is abysmally underdeveloped and backward.

Nigeria is 200million now, without any plan
In the next 10 years the population is projected to double. Better brace yourself for what's coming in the future, because what you see now is a child's play

Typical African mentality. Because you can't help everyone doesn't mean you can't help someone. If it was that way, then there'd be nothing like giving alms to the poor or feeding orphans.

Because you can't speak out for everyone going through it doesn't mean you can't speak out for someone.

Learn to reason like an adult, that's if you are one. Too many kids on here these days.

The Parent Must Be Purnish For Such Act

how many children did u look after at 15? You cant categorically claim that man is old enough to be her grandfather. People with special needs looks older and even if he is older their brain is like that of a toddler.

What we should be concerned about is that girl is marrying a baby instead of a man and how she is going to take care of an infant and adult-baby.

Update: 15-year-old nursing mother married off to man with down syndrome in Anambra has been returned to her parents
15-year-old girl, Miss Chinwe, that was recently married off to an older man, Izuchukwu Igwilo, from Anambra state, has been rescued.
Last week, there was a public outcry on all media platforms after photos from the introduction ceremony of Chinwe and Izuchukwu surfaced online.
Activist, Prince Harrison Gwamnishu, who championed the course for Chinwe to be rescued, gave an update on Saturday. According to the Gwamnishu, Chinwe who is 15 going on 16, has a six-month old baby and she has been taken back to her parents' house. He also stated that on Monday February 4th, she will be officially handed over to the Anambra state Ministry of Women Affairs.

''I promise to #RetrieveChinwe and I kept to my promise.
#Correction: Her baby is six months old and not one year. Igwilo's family married a nursing mother.
#Handed over to Ministry of Women and Child Welfare Anambra State.
Thanks to Commissioner Ministry of Women and Child Welfare Anambra State, Barr. Ajuebor Favour Kene Ezika Efficient Grace Ume Anwulika E. Udanoh Young Boss and Nigeria Police Anambra command for their quick response.
They alleged Izuchukwu Igwilo is 25yrs old and a Business man base in Lagos
The mantle has been handed over to the ministry. They are trained and strongly believe they will deliver.
Thank you great family for your prayers. The struggle continues to end CHILD MARRIAGE and abuse of the girl child '' he wrote

I sincerely hope all the activists involved in this case weighed all options and went with the best for the girl and her baby.

I also hope they are willing to follow through to the very end.

And no one is even asking how a guy impregnated a 15yr old...
