There is obviously something that is wrong with that country Nigeria. So marrying out these innocent girls against their will is their dividends of democracy. I weep for una. I can assure you 80-90% of that marriage (if not 100%) will crash in less than 3 years.

The money to be spent on these unnecessary wedding should have been used to set a business or skill for these girls or school so that they can make the best out their lives..........#CursedNation

Better than religion of animals operating official prostitution , baby factories with younger girls than the ones you are condemning.

I want to ask the guy if his religion don't marry underage, all my life in Port Harcourt, all my friends told me their mother married bellow 18years

And yet again northern elites weaponize poverty. If they can’t afford to get married, they can’t afford to have children. This people will breed just like rats and the children become agents for disruptive activities

Since they have so much money to sponsor marriages ... how about sending the girls to school to get good education and be self sufficient...cos I know those men they are been married to may not be educated or even have jobs ... later now ... we will see their children on the streets begging ...

The woman is grossly incompetent and has poor advisers.

The woman is doing the right thing - let the worst happen. She is a federal minister. This Muslim North has become a huge burden to this country and must be stopped. Imagine forcing little girls to marry men they don't have feelings for. Tomorrow, you will hear that they have stabbed their husbands to death...like we always read in the news.

Apart from that, how can you sponsor marriages for men who cannot afford it? Tomorrow, they will give birth to children they cannot take care of. Those children will be all over the streets begging for alms and embarrassing this country.

I don't know when Nigeria will grow some balls and tell these Northerners to stop giving birth to children they cannot afford to fend for. How can a people see street begging as a normal lifestyle? When El-Rufai was governor, beggars had an association and they even threatened to kick him out of power, saying that their votes made him governor! How do these people think?!

festacman:
Niger State government has the responsibility to act as effective IN LOCO PARENTIS to these parentless young girls by putting in place an arrangement to make sure they are well taken of by their would-be husbands after marriage. Ministry of Social Welfare should pay them visits from time to time to ensure that no nobody converts them into home slave-wife.

Anything less will be pure social injustice.

Stop trying to be politically correct. Marrying people off is trading their off against their will. That is no marriage and no love in there.

Train a women and you will train the nation. When women are working and have something coming in for them, a responsible man will look for a way to them.

So if they are married off now and their wedding is sponsored to a man who couldn't marry them himself , how will he feed her and her kids.
That practice is not only archaic but also primitively barbaric. It should stop , we are not In the jungle , we have a constitution that talks about how everything should b done and not some set of religious apologist trying to force primitivity on people.

Kobojunkie:
Selected sampling? And it selectively chooses these particular young girls who were recently orphaned over the many who have been waiting for many years for help from the same government. Am I the only one who thinks that makes even less sense?

You are still saying the same thing, the writer did not see it in northern perspective.

To you is bad things, to them is good thing.

Over North, they cherish female to be virgin before marriage and firstly consumed by her husband, and only way of achieving it is giving them to marriage early.
While here in south many see it impracticable, as primary students are having boy friends and girlfriends practice what adults are doing indoor. Parents give advice to their children on family planning and use of condom to prevent unwanted pregnancy because they know they are having sex with their friends but just not to affect their career.

There's something in this marriage that the northern people can't tell us or is there anything in this marriage that we southern people don't know because this post reminds me a npower beneficiary that they asked what he wanted to use his supposed stipend to do if at all they pay all the owed money. He said he will use it to get marry whereas on his page he has two beautiful children already.


This northern people self

The woman is grossly incompetent and has poor advisers.

The woman has shown she is super competent. It is Islamic religion that is the problem here just raising girls only for sexual exploitation only. The only help imams can think off to help the 100girlw is to Mary them off first. They can't raise money to finance their education so they can reach their individual potential.

The worst part is that some of these imams and Muslims that want to marry them will take them as 3rd and 4th wives and start to breed children in poverty again or future bandits and terrorists. Government should intervene to rescue these girls. Islam has no good plan for girls except to use them as intimacy gadgets and then abandon many of them without care after giving birth to 2 or 3 children uncared for. Some of the children will return back to the street as almanjiris.

Because they are orphans do not mean they will be sexually indiscipline. Give them education and let them reach a state where they can be matured enough to make decision for themselves. If their parents are alife, is it forced marriage that would have been in their agenda be or now? Ask them their desire in life and help them pursue to achieve their desire goal if you really want to help them.

Enough of breeding bandits, alimanjiris and terrorists. Kids as bandits and terrorists are many with guns roaming about inside forests ruining their lifes by fighting for allah. Enough of child abuse! Goverment should rescue these girls, all these imams are shameless; only help they can render to the girls now is to marry them off forcefully. Too bad!

This is where Nigeria cannot work .

The ground is not common.

The minister is thinking from a different perspective.

The imams are as well on another entire thinking faculty.

This will result to nothing but chaos

PeterObi4LP:
In 2 years time, each of the ladies go don born 3 children each. Multiply it

Lol and the government will use tax payers money to marry them off again because it's clear the unborn child wouldn't be taken care of.

Difrent:


The minister goofed
She clearly didn't do her homework and accused the speaker wrongly

She will withdraw that suit and apologize in the coming days

See talk.

You are on paid stipends online to know who goofed & who not

Go make her apologize & withdraw. Taking the sides of terrorists & peadophiles is nothing new under RUGA & Tinubulation

The woman should tread carefully before a fatwa is pronounced on her head

Has she no advisers?

Make Dem no marry wetin? People wey don dey sharpen their rod to skater young pkekus

The imam that could not issue ultimatum to bandits are now feeling powerful enough to threaten a minister.

The minister should not be intimidated by those balless cowards. She can win this by asking them technical questions of deep thoughts.

immortalcrown:
Hmmm!

A clash of ideologies. Ils vvtg a man cannot afford to marry and you sponsor him to marry, will you be feeding him, his wife and the children they will bring into this world? Of all the problems in the North, why is pushing underage girls into marriage the only solution the man could think of?

underage? But you just read that the girls are between 18 to 25 yrs, OP what investigation have you or the ministry done to determine precisely that they are underage, girls of exactly this age bracket from southern Nigeria are the ones that have flooded the entire subsaharan African countries doing prostitution, so between marrying them and prostitution which is better for society health at large

Saladdin:


I'm sure you can read and comprehend. At least they're not throwing them out on the streets to be used in baby factories or sold like mere chattels for sex slavery in North Africa and Europe.

The yeye Minister in order to form woke and human rights champion refused to investigate issues properly before dabbling into them.

How many baby factories has she closed down, how many (ex)prostitutes and Libyan returnees has she rehabilitated, how many orphanages or women empowerment centres has she established or funded?

None. But marriage is her problem. Hypocrites.

brilliant bro 👍

the children we all grow to become another group of bandits and bokoharams. The same imams will now give out the females among them to bandits. The process continues

Una dey like talk rubbish at times. A Fatwa declared on a Federal minister? And her Igbo brothers will allow those Muslims harm her without any serious gbege in this country. Anyway I no blame you Sha. Na the quiet nature of Christians I dey blame.

Northern Nigeria Muslims are the most backward Muslims in the world. Even the Saudi’s , the Egyptians, the Morrocans, Algerians and Tunisians are not as backward as our northern brothers.

Are we to take it that all unmarried orphans in the state -- male and female --- have been previously married off then?

The state could not protect their parents from bandits but is quick to marry them all off rather than focus attention on resolving the major injustice carried out against their family members.

What did the igbo brothers do when Bridget Agbarimhe was killed in Kano or the female youth corper in Bauchi? Internet muscles that can not break ordinary broom

Even the first lady got a fatwa recently not to now talk of one minister

....abi..and born plenty children they cannot take good care of the children will be roaming about the streets begging for food and money and pick pocketing and when they grow up they become bandits and terrorists

with what you wrote, you see nothing wrong with marry out and snacking and underaged child.
pedophlies.

Forcing people that are not ready to marry and they will start to give birth to many children they cannot take good care of and the children will start to be roaming about the streets begging for food and money and pick pocketing and join bad gangs and become bandits and terrorists

It is an ideology issue, we are not one

To some it is all about marriage, sex and Religion to the other it is about child right, education and empowerment and freedom to marry who you want and at your own choice.

The Imams are not concerned about tackling banditry that caused this in the first place, it is about sharing the young p*ssies of orphans using Islam as a cover up.

Some of these Imans would benefits from this exercise, well we have more problems than those that wants to get married

my religion doesn't support vividly in the bible knacking underaged kids. but no your Hot prophet with his uncicumsised condo prefers the tight kpekus of an underaged child. your religion is so badly built around sex that you heaven involves 70 virgins. fresh underaged kpekus. don't worry this girls married out will fulfil your dreams asap by giving you young underaged virgins to use and relieve your heaven in the next 15 years. you could marry them at 15yrs so u can say your helping the govt remove them from the street. I don't know what's with your religion and young underaged fresh kpekus.

khalling2008:
Olosho from alaigbo wants to dictate to morality region.

What makes a region moral?
Could it be that it's not necessarily religion, but:-

- fear of God, and striving to walk according to his laws
- love for humanity, and striving to build heaven on earth
- rule of law, no nepotism; all men are fairly judged by the agreed law both human laws tied to the Universal natural laws of God

- a sense of upwards progress both material and and spiritual

- a place worthy of emulation by other people's i.e if ppl can't emulate you, there's most likely a problem with you


- peace, sanctity of human life and ppl gradually becoming civil ( peaceful)


If your region doesn't have these, you might actually be living in a religious pipe dream and illusion.

This is how northerners package poverty as a gift and u will tell me that education is a scam.

North or Not can not be redeemed in this generation.

Leave them to be glorifying poverty.
