The Most Notable Child Marriages In Northern Nigeria by Nobody: 6:29am On Nov 05, 2021
Here are some of the Most Notable Child Marriages in the Nuts (North) aka Arewanistan:

1. On September 26, 2015, then 54-year old deposed/dethroned/former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi married an 18-yearl-old Secondary Schol leaver, Sa’adatu Barkindo-Musdafa, the daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-Musdafa as fourth wife. (age gap: 36 years)

2. The 74-year old Minister of Agriculture & Rural Development (now former) tied the knot with an 18-year old secondary school leaver Rakiya on Saturday, April 3, this year (2021) in Jere Town, Kaduna State. (age gap:56 years)

4. A 60-year old Accountant General, Ahmed Idris, is set to tie knot with an underage 16-year girl as fourth wife today, Friday, November 5 at No. 274, Daurawa, Maiduguri Road in Kano. (44 years gap).

The sad fact about the solely randy marriages of these young-at-heart grandpas is they have adult sons who, in case it is even okay to marry teenagers, should be the ones to marry such girls, not the fathers.

For e.g., Sanusi Lamido's son, a Kano prince, supposed to marry that Sa'adatu, an Adamawa princess, but certainly not his father, then Kano Emir.

Sahara reporters is notorious for propaganda material, they have lost every ounce of credibility in my books.

If Sahara reporters posts that 1st October 1960 is Nigeria independence day, I will have to double check. That is how bad they have tarnished their reputation.
