May you be in a condition where someone will help your girl child by helping to marry her off #animal looking at daylight trafficking and calling it help.
Hadone:
Atleast he cared for this girls more than the dubious minister. Many innocent young girls are into prostitution, did the minister wrote IGP about it? Had it been this girls are also into prostitution, the dubious minister will not raise alarm. We're now in a society and situation where some people value prostitution beyond marriage. Nobody will marry them off due to orphanage situation they found themselves. The Speaker now took a bold step to shoulder the responsibility of their deceased parents, but some one who don't even care for them is now trying to frustrate his efforts

A Southerner should not poke their nose in Northern Affairs. Same country, with different laws and different ways of life.
u are one of the problems of this country, so marring off those girls is now a northern affair....

Incompetent minister, when bandits killed their parents, she did not know about any child right act to Carter or fend for them.
These are girls who are ripe for marriage, but because their parents are dead there was no one to marry them off. Muslims can never choose prostitution over marriage. Hypocrites!
some times I wonder if the Saudi Muslims n northern Nigeria Muslims have different teachings, cause this one here thinks from the anus!!!
Na people like you still support the almajiri system, marry them off, the give birth and the children become street beggers

The Minister's face looks scary and I hope it scares the speaker away from the girls undecided

^^^
grin

Which kind wahala be this?

Houseontherock1:
Before marrying off the girls; have they given up on going to school further? Learning a trade? Has the state government tried establishing those with some skills? Were they consulted on the issue of marriage and is it with their consent?

^^^
Now that we've gotten the jokes out of the way with my first mention of your post above, lets deal with the serious matters - and they are deadly serious.

You have asked the key questions that need to be asked. We await the results of the federal commissioner's petition to the police and the state government.

Some of the responses on this thread should fill all right thinking people with dread. And a lot of it is politics - deadly, venal, faceless politics from behind a keyboard. If anyone was in doubt about how far some people are willing to go (and what this country is up against) - that doubt should have been cleared by now. In this country today, skilled labour in some areas is struggling. If skilled labour is struggling, then what hope does unskilled labour have?

The focus should be on training and educating these girls to compete in the labour force to sustain themselves in the future. Not marriage.

He said the gesture was “aimed at alleviating the suffering of the impoverished,” pledging to pay the dowries for the bridegrooms and have procured materials for the mass marriage.

Orphaned children, Who he wan pay dowries to? Haha!!!

Lol.. we are not supposed to be in the same country with these animals. After politicians ruin the country, creating banditry; now they want to marry off innocent young girls to riffraffs. The marriage will be doomed. The girls suffer in the arrangee marriage. The children they produce become new generations almajiris, then to bandits.
He collected billions from the state to do this illegality as his project. Why didnt he use the billions he collected from the state to train the girls first? Bastards in government.

Did the girls tell you they don't want the marriage The marriage would be doomed because your woke mind thinks it would?

How hard is it for you people to accept that this has been the culture of northern Nigeria??! Must every region conform to your woke wannabe western lifestyles

FYI, this system has helped the north in many ways! They have a more morally sound society with alot of contentment, ensuring their continued political dominance and existence.

I think we should worry more about our CHAOTIC lifestyles in the south which has made many people less contented and restless about life. Moral bankruptcy has remained the order of the day in the south with more young women preferring to go into prostitution than getting married and having a more meaningful life. Young men on the other hand are into fraud and other criminal activities to amass so much money as to be considered ready for marriage.

Ask yourself, the present lifestyle of most southerners, especially Igbos, is it something to be proud of? Where we glorify fraudster and have our young women prostitute around than getting married There's no pride in our way of life at all!

Taking a critical look into the lives of those northerners y'all like to criticize, I'll say they're living a more decent and contented lives than our chaotic and directionless south!
