Further to sustained efforts to eradicate gender based violence and other forms of harmful practices against the female gender, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs will flag off a 3-day sensitization rally from 2-4 February 2024 at the Bechere Ward, Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State to end money marriage which has been an age-long practise in the area.

Money marriage is a custom in which a girl child in the community is sold out to a man by her parents as a wife in exchange for money, food items, or to pay a debt.

The awareness campaign which is organized is partnership with the Office of the First Lady Cross River State Rev Mrs Eyoanwan Bassey Otu, is line with the continued push by the Federal Government to stamp out all forms gender based violence through the Women Affairs Ministry.

Speaking ahead of the rally, the Honorable Minister of Women Affairs Barr Uju Kennedy Ohanenye commended the Cross River State First Lady for collaborating with her Ministry on this initiative and reiterated that the campaign against age-long practises which demeans the dignity of womanhood will be addressed holistically and pledged to sustain the tempo as part of efforts to promote and protect the welfare and wellbeing of women and the girl child in Nigeria.

No perfect culture. All culture has harmful practice. From OSU caste system or woman family taking ownership of a child cos he was born out of wedlock or not selling of land to non Igbo persons in the east, to heavy tribal face markings in the west, selling of girl child in Cross River, Almajiri and child marriage system in the north, female genital mutilation in all the regions, all these is a pointer to the fact that all culture has defect.

The time is now to be open minded and adjust these custom, culture and believes system for a better society for all.

Namaster:



Imagine making Child Trafficking a "custom" because of poverty.

Imagine being so poor that rather than paying off the debt you owe FairMoney, you decide to give them your little daughter.

Poor people should NOT be allowed to have children.

This are things feminist movement ought to kicking against and not fighting men on Facebook and twitter

danladi02:
This is a terrible practice

They know....that's why government officials are making efforts to end it.

Believe me, events and circumstances led to the promulgation of certain laws.

However, over time, some customs and traditions become obsolete and needless.

Does that still happen? Please it should be stopped.

After sold there daughters finished

At the end those there fathers used the money drunk ogogoro and used the rest buying walking sticks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Patrioticman007:
Imagine these Barbaric customs still take place down Southern Nigeria. Lord guard really joined evil with good.

Thunda faya the lugard really. Thunda faya 1914 amalgamation!!!!!

Good move but please who will end the money marriage that most married men suffer in their homes?

How do you explain that most wives now directly or indirectly charge their husbands for sex?

How do you explain that a man is the best of the bests of husbands as long as he has money but once he goes broke, his wife looks for the flimsiest of reasons to explain their incompatibility and why their marriage can't work.

How do you also explain that in most marriages, the wife is only after take-take, while the man is expected to be the non-ending unconditional giver?

How do you explain that most wives view themselves as spectators in the home whose only contribution should be child bearing?

How do you?
How do you?
If this is not the actual money marriage, I wonder what is.
Because we pay through our nose to win these women's heart, pay through our nose to legally marry them, and pay through our nose to keep them.

That is why Nigerian men are yet to agree on whether a wife is an asset or a liability.

Words on Marble!

Bechere community is the home of the famous obudu cattle ranch and mountain resort. These guys are alienated from real life o.. They can speak very good English because Scottish people settled there in the 40s/50s while running the ranch...
It's an interesting cold place.. One of the coldest place in Nigeria.
The only communication they have with outside world are tourist
Life is weird there

Babyboyforeal:
dey play for Nigeria na poor dey born pass, just ask people around u many will dey like to give birth to u will be choke the number they will tell you

‘...Many r the children of the desolate than the married wife’. Na Bible talk am, reason people wey jam themselves for corner dey quick get belle pass the one u marry, that one go need pray more to give birth. Isaiah 54:1

Nice one

What future does the stupid system or government has for them?

Are you blaming the parents or the buyer?

THEIR ONLY CRIME WAS TO BE BORN TO A USELESS COUNTRY FULL WITH CRIMINALS, HYPOCRISY and TRIBALISM.

They should do everything possible to stop this practice which degrades the girl child!

Lol.

You want to use 3 days to end an age-long tradition that has existed for generations even before you were born?

I've always maintained that this Ujunwa will easily be Tinubu's worst minister! Come to think of it, why is there no Ministry Of Men Affairs?

Imagine and they will come online to condemn the marriage system in the north. This is packaged slavery [center][/center][center][/center][center][/center]

It's a kind of homecoming for Cross Rivers state. Around a century ago, it was Late Mary Slessor who embarked on a similar pilgrimage to stop the killing of twins.

This is why you need to understand the culture of anyone you want to marry before you enter what you don't understand or believe exist as cultural practices.

Traditions.

which mumu tradition

Na wah ooo!! In this modern time

All marriages in Nigeria are money marriage.

Hypocrisy every where just to form they are doing something ...Almost all cultures have a way of transacting with their female Gender .....Most of this women are just sounding naive as if they don't collect bride price to be married, Marriage now is for the highest bidder, its all about Self interest in financial benefits that comes with it
even Religious institutions tell women not to marry a Jobless man but they themselves can be jobless ....
That women affair are just deceiving themselves....
Those women are also a beneficiary of what they're kicking against...
Getat my friend

The people you're calling feminists are oloshos.

Think9ja:
FG should stay out of this. It's none of FG's business how people decide to treat their subjects.

Anything to subjugate the bleeding gender is welcomed by me.

The subjugation of the bleeding gender is the greatest thing about islam. I love islam for this. Reason why there are not many prostitutes in the north.

But you see South? Hook up and prostitution is the first occupation of their bleeding creatures.

Oloshos everywhere

Islam does not subjugate women rather cherish and protect them (dignity), you got that very wrong.
The southern parts have their problems but it wasn't like this some decades ago.
Women are created like that, they need resources, guidance and protection to survive once one of these is missing then, they will go astray, they are gone.
Men have to continue to bear the responsibility and collectively come up with a system that will eradicate the societal nuisance and moral decadence.
May God guide us and our future generations

God step.
Very common in some part of the country. And Let the sensitization touch the nooks and crannies of the nation.

A very Good step.
Let the sensitization continue and if possible, let it touch all the nooks and crannies of the country.
