Mayeldah:
One reason I am happy for civilization, forget it if not for the British that colonized us, by now worse barbaric practices never heard of before would still be happening all over this country. A lot woke Nigerians today blames the West for giving us their religion but forgetting that the African religion from ages has been filled with barbaric practices that dehumanizes people and in some cases encourages human sacrifices. God forbid!
The west did well for us, the reason we are still lagging behind is because the black race has refused to help itself. Even America was once colonized by the British but today they are bigger on all fronts than their former colonial masters.
Where is the Cross River State in all these? A Governor's declaration can fix this and the whole practice will come to an end. Where is the state assembly in Cross River State? Are they not aware? Are they also part of the men taking young girls as slaves?
The parents should also be educated to understand that they should not borrow money from pedophiles. No one will take your daughter if you didn't take a loan from him. The state government in CRS should empower the people in that community.
Solution to this menace can be achieved on several fronts.

You can say that again.

You should shut up when you have nothing reasonable to say rather than confirm our opinion on your state of mental soundness.

If now north now, we for don wail tire. The south is no different from the north. Child marriage, child maids. Upon all the education and exposure. Were are all the celebrities from cross river state? The NGO's? They should tag the governor's wife too. Why re they silent? Or are they benefiting from the system too?

Having good intentions is not enough, it might even reinforce the status quo.


After we were drawn out of the murky slums and waters of Makoko, respite came and we found hope in cheese....

Tunde's ChessInSlum has done more than some state governments and a large part of the federal government will ever dream of.

Wickedfacts:


Will you shut up, you filthy thing.
Is it not men who are now trying to end this madness? What have you or your fellow female noisemakers done to end the practice?

When your fathers treat you and your mothers like animals, you pour venom on all men. Is it all men that are slapping your mothers at home?

Abeg face your father and leave all men out of your family frustrations.

Good and wise Men are a blessing to any generation. Women can not even band together to do anything solid without petty jealousy and envy creeping in to pitch them against each other. Women have evolved into competitive creatures who aim to project themselves better than the other. God bless the pastor and the NGO and all supporters of this mission. I wish the parents will be forced into labour to payback the money the borrowed. Yes. Let them have a small taste of the pains gained from their foolish decision to borrow money with a a human life.

Believe me if na Christian sect do this claiming that their prophet okays marrying young kids like Islam okays girls once they hit puberty if their fathers so desire to marry them off. This thread would be full too. Both Atheists and Muslims and even christians would have something to say about a god or a prophet who marries and sleeps with a child. Wether in the North, south, east or west. Wether Muslim or christian or pagan. So far they tie religion and a gods rulling to it.

I wouldn't have ever thought that anything APC would be in such village, I was thinking it was an isolated village somewhere around a non existing country that borders Nigeria....so sad.

As much as I understand that Onakoya does not really want to involve government that much, reasonable officials among them should see this as an avenue to be responsible, if just for this once.

They should provide security for those Chess guys at least and use the authority the people have handed over to them to keep peace in the environment and ascertain that these guys' missions are accomplished the way they really dreamt and beyond.

Mr Bullionaire or probably Trillonaire, I know a population of 100 thousand citizens might not be attractive to you as viable target, as valid voters among them might not even be up to 1 or 5% but rest assured, if you have genuine and positive impact in this pathetic project, some Nigerians will see the traits of humanity in you and appreciate you if you do not eventually politicize your gesture as usual.

At Chess Guys, kudos to your team!

I will follow you guys up on Twitter and be a contributor as may be applicable.

Thanks for sharing the story

This is great initiative but I think the state government should be involved and let them take Central position in criminalising the practice.

Also I am of the opinion that the renovation of infrastructure that belongs to the government in which there is budgetary allocation for, does nothing but perpetuate corruption.

These schools are the responsibility of the government if ngo and individual keep renovating these infrastructures government will never sit up because they know if they embezzled the money meant for maintenance sooner or later either an ngo or individual will come and fix it out of pocket.

I would assume that this ngo is a big one why not take the pictures of the school and pay the state government or local government a visit, ask for them to renovate the place. The truth is that most of these government officials don't want their dirty linen to be washed outside and will do it.

Through all ages,men have been wicked to females.I don't know our crime and to think it is through us life is sustained.So many pedophiles running through generations.

Education is the best thing that happened to women.It opens your eyes and allows you own your body.Whatever you now decide to do with it is then your problem.

BTW view demonic APC logo at the background.

You can see that it's a man that is clearly championing the movement for the ladies development
