PUTIN IS AFRAID OF BRITAIN IN EUROPE. BRITAIN WILL DESTROY RUSSIA WITHOUT ANY ALLY. BRITIAN DOESNT SHOW OFF ITS MILITARY MIGHT LIKE THE NOISE MAKER CALLED PUTIN

Putib afraid of Britain in Europe
Guy, which kinda weed u dey smoke? ??
Am not suprise seeing ur moniker.

uselessgoat:
stop misleading people. Russia cannot withstand britain in europe. Moscow will be a graveyard within 1hr.

Which Britain?
Who is Britain?
Can they face te Russia alone?
Even their ally US can't face Russia alone, that was the reason for forming NATO

ToyinDipo:
Putin has never been known to favour peace in the middle-east. He is always supplying them ammunition to fuel wars over there, that's how he stays in power. So I don't really see him fighting ISIS. I foresee a serious clash between him and US on this issue at a point, when US casualties are involved. It will be a nasty saga...

So it is rhr US that is funding the rebels and ISIS that are known for peace?
Which peace did the US bought to the countries that they have invaded or intervene; Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Syria.
Tell me

ollah1:
dude he said the truth, Americans only attack weak nations.. They dare not attack Russia and China. When the Crimea ish was so strong and heated, America would have attacked Russia only if Russia was a weak nation. But the truth is they are both afraid of themselves and they both have strong military. The two presidents are MAD.

FACTS!!!

YoungDaNaval:
Lion of Africa! Moreover, was Bianca married as a 4th wife?

Another excuse again abi. U guys has now move from the legal age of 18 to the difference in age between the husband and wife to the particular number in which the wife is to her husband.
U guys will not stop being amusing. Always running around and looking for excuses when u have been found out.

By Jaafar Jaafar
I have made this argument about a year ago when the rumor of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi's marriage to a "minor" raised some dusts. The age of consent varies according to culture and religion, I had argued.
I don't know why one would combust energy criticizing cultural practices that are contrary to his religion, culture or warped intuition. Nigeria has two major religions which don't prohibit marriage at the age of 18. The constitution doesn't also prohibit it.
Writing about age of consent, Professors Richard Wortley and Stephen Smallbone said girls married very young in European society prior to19th century.
“In Medieval and early modern European societies, the age of marriage remained low, with documented cases of brides as young as seven years, although marriages were typically not consummated until the girl reached puberty (Bullough 2004). Shakespeare’s Juliet was just 13, and there is no hint in the play that this was considered to be exceptional. The situation was similar on the other side of the Atlantic; Bullough reports the case in 1689 of a nine-year-old bride in Virginia. At the start of the nineteenth century in England, it was legal to have sex with a 10 year-old girl.”
That was the Western society, which guides our sense of reasoning. If you think you are copying the Western society by criticizing the marriage of an 18-year-old, then you are wrong.
I know you will say what I quoted above is an old practice. You should know that currently, in England and Wales, the minimum legal age for marriage is 16, that is with the consent of parents. At 18, both the male and female are free to marry even WITHOUT parental consent.
Ever wondered why the Westerners still celebrate Sweet 16 party? The Western society that is characterized by debauchery and all manner of secular practices, 16 year birthday party is marked because it is considered a bridge between young age and adulthood.
In view of Muslim religious practices and tradition, I know Muslims won't whine over someone's marriage to 18-year-old. In our village, hardly can you spot an 18-year-old that is not married. In a typical Hausa household, you can't claim not to have a grandma, a mother, an aunt or a sister who was married off before 18.
As I noted last year, in Christianity, canon law previously provided that the minimum age for marriage was 12, yes 12 years. The law was later repealed in 1917 and increased the age from 12 to 14 for girls and 16 for boys. But why would a true Christian condemn a practice allowed by his religion?
Even if you are adherent of Buddhism, the founder of the religion, Gautama Buddha, married his wife at age of 16.
Of course there are certain cultural practices that are universally condemned like caste system, slavery and incest. But despite the near-universality of incest taboo, among the Polahi nomadic tribe of the Gorontalo province of Indonesia, incest is not a taboo. It is permitted for father to marry daughter or mother to marry son, and so on. In the Polynasian societies/languages, there is nothing called "incest" because it just a normal practice. You have to respect their culture since they perhaps see the exogamy you consider a morally right practice as a bad practice.
What I still do not know is the basis on which the argument is specifically hinged. Is it because of religion or culture? Sense of cultural relativism is poor in this country.
I see criticism to Emir Sanusi as an affront and insult against my religion and culture. When 72-year-old publisher of the Champion, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu impregnated and later married a 26-year-old, I didn’t talk because I have respect for people’s choice. I was also mum when 82-year-old Chief Tony Anenih married a damsel in her early 20s. When Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu married Bianca, I didn’t raise alarm over their wide age difference. We see it as a triumph of love. When 76-year-old Alaafin of Oyo married 16-year-old, I didn’t whimper. When 74-year-old Italian fashion designer, Roberto Cavalli, frolics on the beach with a girl in her early 20s, hell didn’t break loose. When King Mswati of Swaziland picked 18-year-old as his 14th wife, the Swazis saw nothing wrong with it because it is part of their culture.
A Hausa proverb observes that if you are hated, you will be criticized for raising dust when you fall into water.
I think we deserve some respect from our brothers from different religious and cultural backgrounds in order to live in harmony.

FrankAba1:
I'm done with you Mr.! You're in a very dark place mentally.

I think u rather mean to say, u are d one in a very very dark place mentality and socially

FrankAba1:
You are a danger to school kids, if indeed you are a teacher, and I mean it. You need to be sanctioned! Where do you teach?
Secondary school students(13 - 19) are teens and has no business marrying a 54 year old manther/rhino.

On Sanusi's part, he knows, he is a paedo!

Guy, u are a bigot and a hypocrite. What is the meaning of paedophile? Tell me. And mind I teach SS3 who are mostly 18years old, although I do have a little bit younger than that in the class.
So to u now, an 18, 19 years old is a kid? Mtwsss

FrankAba1:
Considering you claim to be a teacher, you should know better. Meanwhile, I wouldn't allow any child near you if you are indeed a teacher!
I also taught in senior secondary school for more than half a decade, and No, teens are not "wise" and can hardly make an inform decision. Biologically, they still have baby fats in their body and still been 'charged' by hormones!
You mentioned growth and Technology,, do you even realise that Growth and Development are two distant phenomenon?

Who even made you a "teacher" and in which school do you teach? I think you are a danger to school kids! Stay away!!!

Hahahahaha, imagine this guy calling me danger to the school I teach? See him calling 18, 19 years old students I taught kids? Am not surprise. And am still asking, is 18 not a legal age in Nigerian constitution any more?
18 years can vote and be voted, can be issued driving licence, can be charged to court and jail cos he/she is an adult not a juvenile anymore.

FrankAba1:
Everything is all wrong there! He married a teen(13yrs - 19yrs)!!!
An 18 years old female in the USA is called a woman, whilst in Nigerian context she is still considered/called a "girl". There is a strong reason for that; one of them being that people in developing countries are mostly slow starters in terms of human development...physically and otherwise.
Secondly, your average 18 years old American is immersed in the culture of Freedom, equality, freedom of choice & expression, Liberty (the big one) , therefore is in a better position to make inform decision unlike an 18 years old girl born in an Islamic culture that see women as a property and second class human being!
Comparing the USA and Islamic Republic of Northern Nigeria, is like comparing Apple and Orange(if not stone).
The reason I mentioned the USA and human brain development at 21 years is because it's one of the reasons for refusing to sale Alcohol to under 21s.
The main point I highlighted there, is the age at which the human brain attain full development, in belief that every human supposedly have a brain irrespective of place of birth.
I don't know your age or those supporting this insanity, the age gap we are talking about here is 36 bloody years!! The thought of having a 54 years old granpa having sex or even performing MouthAction/cunnilingus with a barely legal teen is total madness.

IMO, the whole thing is bordering on paedophilia, cos considering he supposedly "married" her aged 18, they must have met before she turned 18, No?

But isn't 18 the legal age to get married in Nigeria?
Guy, forget that, 16, 17, 18 years old in 9ja today are not like those of yesterday. They are wise and can make decisions of their own. I come across alot cos I teach in a senior secondary school and I know what I see. Technology has the age group to grow faster mentally.

Mindfulness:
He is old and ugly and could almost be her grandfather and has got three other wives. This is what makes me think that she was not keen on marrying him.

Now tell me what would make a 18-year-old girl want to marry an old, ugly man who already has three wives instead of a handsome, athletic, younger man who is single?

I am curious.

So SLS os now old and ugly? Chaiiiiiii, ur hypocrisy no be here oooooo. So SLS Is not athletic?

Optionalx:
You no make sense joor. How old is SANUSI and how old was kanu then. Don't compare apple and orenge abeg

So it is the age difference u are now comparing not the 18 years again?
What will u say about Ojukwu, Azikiwe and Tony Anenih that marry farrrr more younger gal than them?
Hypocrite

IzonOwei:
yes compared to the grand pa in question...

So that also mean Ojukwu married a kid also cos of the age difference

hgnbello:
haas... dnt give ur self headache ni.. an 18yrs old gal is matured. if u want to b 24 bfor u marry toh OYO. as long as u see sm lad bleeping u.

haas... dnt give ur self headache ni.. an 18yrs old gal is matured. if u want to b 24 bfor u marry toh OYO. as long as u see sm lad bleeping u. leave d gal abeg..

HAPPY MARRIED LIFE DEAR.. WISH U ALL D BEST

My guy, don't mind those hypocrites abeg. Suddenly, an 18 years old lady is now a kid and marriageable age should now be shifted to 24. Just imagine the hypocrisy, and the almighty west they look up to and even worship has less than 18 as legal age in some of the country, bt they are here spewing thrash.

korres00:
And am very sure the lil pretty girl has ambittion of her own....she might wanna become a doctor, a laywer or even a banker lyk SLS...buh d two abokis took dat away from her...bloody hell

The marriage doesn't stop her from becoming anything she want to be. Doctor, engineer, lawyer, nurse, etc. I had seen them abound when I was schooling. Even got one we finish engineering together and she came out with a flying colour, a good 2,1. Better than the single self. And has also completed her masters too now.

FrankAba1:
Dis one na master-servant relationship. Wich kain discoshion granpa fit have with a barely legal youngie?

A little biology research will tell you the human brain doesn't reach full development until 21years after birth, hence why the USA doesn't allow under 21s purchase or drink beer.

Dat Sanusi na very kwarrupt sombodi oo!

Bt even in ur almighty USS, 18 and even below kn some states in US is the legal age for married. So, what has SLS done wrong in marrying a 18 years old lady.

walexsho:
when will you people start to reason
1. has he married out any of her daughter at such age
2. what assistance has your so called monarch rendered
in your society except to uphold useless culture.
3. how many youth has he empowered since he became the emir.
4. he was the cbn governor for years, what impact did he made for the betterment of your lives

You are so happy he has married an 18year old girl.
right, 18 year old is matured ... but when will you start reasoning like ....

Beating around the bush. U are the one that first stated that the gal is a kid and I ask u is 18 years old lady a kid? And u are now blabbing up and down. For ur info even before he became the CBN governor, he has been a blessing the youth in kano. He has empowered alot and still doing. Ask the youth in Kano and they will tel u more.
Now answer my question. #grin#

AheadMarket:
mchew!

e pain am!!! Hahahaha. If u like hiss from now till December, all what I said is the truth and nothing else. True actually hurt though.

walexsho:
Mr man It's your culture and not Islamic teaching

It is not their culture bt Islamic teaching. Islam allow polygamy, marrying up to 4 wives as far as u can take care of them. Wonder what kind of islam u practised.

walexsho:
will sanusi ever married out his children at such age... don't let the rich among you take you for a fool. help the country for the country to favour everyone of us

What am asking is that, is 18 years old lady now a kid? Answer me

AheadMarket:
***checks the thread*** ok, the girl is 18 (maturity age). Buhari nko? Did he marry a 9 year old or not?

Buhari married Aisha when she was 18 to 19 years old. U guys should stop peddling the lie of hin marrying her at 9. It make u guys look like liars, intolerable, bigot and hypocrite

walexsho:
It's permission and not a binding law... if he really want to follow the conditions attached to having more than one wife.
1. I expect him to marry less priviledge
2. A widow
3. Slave
he is not superior to other muslim that has just a wife in terms of faith... it's time this people stop giving birth to liability in the society. Isn't it a shame of the so called almajiri school?

He ia not giving birth to any liability, cos he has the means to take care of them all even if he is no more alive. U can only say that to those that doesn't have the means and keep on breeding children.

IzonOwei:
God go bless you for this point...this is exactly what I am trying to say...marry a matured thinking lady rather than a kid...very nonsense man...

So a 18 years old lady is now a kid

Am a Yoruba guy bt the way Yorubas on this thread are really trying to absolve the fulanis of the perpetrated crime is really annoying and disgusting. It is ppl like them that make other southerners to be calling Yorubas cowards and slave. Habaaa, this buttlicking is too much.
Am so sure of it were the Igbos that was accuse of the kidnapping, some of these guys would have been everywhere abusing and castigating the igbos without even waiting for proper investigation.
This ass licking need to stop.
The same fulanis have been known of high profile armed robbery along zaria road amd other atrocities. So u guys should stop thinking that they can do this kidnapping of Olu Falae. It is very very possible.

[quote author=Augustas post=38278786][/quote]Did u read what that nairalander wrote. She was subtly condemning, judging and castigating J'odie for her opinion. J'odie never say anything wrong.

adellam16:
woman wrapper please shut up. What ur sister did is not what I did. She was d one who lost hers over a plate of indomie. I guess u didn't read d article she wrote . If someone keeps making noise about virginity before marriage does not guarantee she being a good wife, afterall all ladies were once virgins so what's d big deal? My problem with d whole ish is why condemn non virgins like she was a saint. Most ladies lost deirs willingly or unwillingly. She is not a saint nor a judge, she had no right announcing nd condeming, aunty adokiye is also claiming virgin but now she has a white boyfriend and still exposes her boobs n dress like a LovePeddler, but she still says she is virgin? Who ask dem pls, who is she to b judging non virgins. She was just lucky dats all. Obviously u r one of dose boys dat like showing power on nairaland but in real life u don't gat d liver. Mtchewwww

This is what is in the article that u couldn't comprehend.

When asked about her sexual relationship sometimes back in an interview, below is what she said...
Personally, to me, it is wrong because I am not
married. I am not condemning those who do it; this is just my personal opinion. I really should
not have an opinion on sex because I don’t have any experience. Sex means nothing to me, so I can’t get into a relationship just because of that.

Can u show anywhere in the article that she is condemning non virgins. Na jealousy and guilty conscience dey disturb u.

Keep shut abeg. Did u read the article well at all or are u blind? Or u can't comprehend well?
In the article, she never condemn non virgin, she said it is their choice. And she ain't blowing on everybody's face that she is a virgin, all what she said is that she don't indulge in sex. It seem u are among the bandwagon that just comment based on d OP title which didn't fit the article well. Jealousy.

adellam16:
This noise making girl. Now her husband will confirm if she is a vir gin or nay! And den let's c if dat vir ginity would still b intact after d wedding night. She will soon join d disvirgined league den we go hear word.

Yeah, she will join in a legal after getting married. Unlike you that join with a plate of indomie. Jealousy, just cos u lost urs do mean that others wilk follow ir path. FYI, there are still those who still intend in keeping their till married and they are follow it religiously.
She is not condemning anyone, so free her pls

xertyy:
Yes of course! Even in northern part of Nigeria..70-80 percent do shisha! And its totally harmful

Easy with the lies abeg. Which kind 70 to 80% of ppl in the north smoke shisha? Yeah, shisha is being smoked in the north bt not any near that percentage at all that u wrote.

MrsAnyanwu:
thank you,someone said unilag nd uniben, accepts too ....

maybe, but to inquire more abt it

Some guys are just pain in the ass. Some don't believe in ordinary friend with the opposite sex. They believe they must benefit for any help they render to the opposite sex. Some guys just think with their third leg.
Just imagine the way some male nairalanders are responding to this issue supporting the guy to have sex with the gal against her wish. It is such a pity. I don't think they can give that kinda advice of it involve their sisters
