Nigerians are hypocrites and most people are too lazy to engage in in-dept reasoning before making their opinion known to the public. Most Nigerians are mentally lazy to make personal research on a particular subject or topic of discussion before voicing their opinion on such matter. The rush to gain popularity on social platforms through LIKES and RE-TWEET has made so many Nigerians argue non-constructively and childishly.
The issue of HRH Sanusi lamido taking up a new wife has generated a lot of controversy among Nigerians especially on social medias, some in support while most are against his decision but before we castigate him lets take a look at some salient point to consider before making judgement on whether he is wrong or right.

Who is a child?
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines child as "a human being below the age of 18 years. this also is applicable to Nigeria.
Who is an adult?
The age at which people are considered responsible for their society-bound actions (e. g. marriage, voting, etc.) and this is reflected in the way they are treated in courts of law, family and the society at large. At the age of 18 in Nigeria you are considered as an adult and you have the right to vote and be voted for. At this age you are considered and will be treated as an adult in your family, school, community and even at the court of law. The legal age of marriage in Nigeria is 18 yrs and above as long as those involved consent to such arrangement. At the age of 18 most of us starts feeling the sense of responsibility,maturity and the urge to make certain decisions with very little or no interference. movies, music, TV programmes of adult content are generally TAGGED or RESERVED for 18yrs and above. Alcohol and tobacco consumption is reserved for 18yrs and above. So if we consider this age for the above things i mentioned, why are we making unnecessary noise about the emirs decision to take an 18yrs as a wife.

Finally our lovely celebrities that we celebrate on social media and so many people look up to as role models are not left out of this early marriage while others engaged in child marriage (less than 18yrs of age). Their topics grace NL and other social platforms frontage/headlines everyday. While some endured others opted out. i will list a few of them.

1 SHAN GEORGE (Child marriage)

Shan George got married at tender age of 16 and had her two boys who are now men, immediately after marriage. Shan later walked out of the marriage.

"Being married at the age of 16 was just like a child still living with her parents. It was more like an obligation. I don’t really want to talk about it because of my children." She said.

Meanwhile, the talented actress welcomed her first grandchild on September 7, 2014 as her first son, Delnoi had a beautiful baby girl.

2 OMOTOLA JALADE EKEINDE (Early marriage and shes happily married)

Star actress Omotola met her pilot husband at age 16, and got married to him at age 18 and had her first child, her daughter at age 19.
Her kids are growing up so fast.

3 IRETI DOYLE

Actress Ireti Doyle had her first child when she was in her late teens. Her daughter is all grown up now and recently got married. They look more like sisters.

4 CLARION CHUKWURA

Talented and daring actress, Clarion was impregnated by Sir Shina Peters many years ago when they were dating. She got pregnant at age 18 and had her baby boy who has grown to be a music director, in the person of Clarence Peters.
The AMAA best actress looks more like Clarence's elder sister.

5 ADA AMEH

The plus size role interpreter had her daughter at a very tender age of 14.

"Sometimes, I ponder on that. I had a child when I was 14. My peers influenced me. But it has been some time now."

6 OBOT ETUK (Child Marriage)[/b]

The Akwa Ibom born beautiful actress cum costumier got married at the tender age of 15 and started making babies immediately. She had 3 kids before her divorce.

"We got married in 1985 and divorced in 2002. The marriage did not last long. We were young when we got married. I was 15 then and he was 18."

7 GENEVIEVE NNAJI

The super star actress became a mum at age 17. People have been circulating fake pictures of her daughter online. But the actress keeps her precious daughter away from the prying eyes of the media and gossips.

8 LIZ BENSON

Super star actress, Liz Benson got married to her first husband, Samuel Gabriel Etim at a very young age. The marriage had already produced 2 girls and 1 boy before beautiful Liz lost her husband to death in her mid twenties.

[b]Parting shot: We are all aware that the rate at which we have single mothers or early marriage crashing is at an alarming rate. some of you who got married at the age of 23 yrs and above are out of marriage and find it difficult to manage your home, and you are here shamelessly castigating someone else who has successfully managed his home. If you are a single mother as a result of your inability to keep and hold on to your marriage or you are a shameless husband who could not manage his home or protect his marriage from crashing and you are here busy crying on HRH Sanusi Lamido decision to marry an 18yrs old then you are an hypocrite. Save your marriage...save your home...Let Sanusi breath, he owes no one any explanation.

Only in Nigeria will you see a serial fornicator castigating an adulterer.. A chain smoker condemning an alcoholic.. armed robber lynching a petty thief.. common man who stole N20 sentenced to years imprisonment while a corrupt political is walking freely and enjoying our looted funds.

My opinion.

Abeegi! Enough Of All This Super Story, All We Are Saying Is #CHILDNOTBRIDE, who ask him JAMB question? Agbaya Buruku!



Wow! 100+ Likes..... Majority They Say Carries The Vote.

so an 18yrs old is a child... at the age of 18 most of you clamored for freedom from your parents claiming you are no more a child...most of you engaged in sex..alcohol on this same basis. most people started going into ungodly sexual intercourse at this stage.. but in the case of sanusi your hatred and obvious hypocrisy who made some idiot gave you 100likes has refuse to accept that an 18yrs old is not a child. why the double standard?

HungerBAD:
Presumed Dead.

If his family, friends and Associates have not heard from him, then they should prepare for the bad news. Rest in Peace, until we meet to part no more.

If only they knew, If only they just stayed back home with their loved ones, If only they missed their flights,If only they postponed this Holy trip until next time.

Still puzzled, and seeking answers to the Relevance of this Hajj in the life of an average Muslim. Does Visiting Saudi, makes you a better Muslim?or we just want that toga Alhaji?

if only they knew..if only they just stayed back home and didn't go for that wedding..birthday party..post jamb examination..nysc orientation..family function..official trip from work..colleague wedding..does going to those places add more value to our lives..and yet so many people had lost their lives in th course of doing so many things. Or we just want to satisfy our friends..families..workers..colleagues.. death is certain and inevitable. If only people knew they won't go to those places they met their death. If only they knew they won't be at synagogue church where hundreds of people met their death.

osaslord500:
Thats a child and too young to be a bride.. For Godsake She is 18yrs!!!

18 is legal or right to have sex..drink..smoke and do lots of things..at 18 you call for your freedom..but 18 is too young for marriage.. did she complain?? To hell with everyone who had sex before 18yrs of age.. since 18 is too young for marriage..the height of hypocrisy.

Medical experts explains how rape could easily be committed.

sanandreas:

information and personal research is key to knowledge.

sanandreas:

agarawu23:
Something is suspicious here
Even if the guy is a cultist, will cultist operate as early as 8am in the morning?

Where and when did the 'exchange of fires took place' ?

If the policeman can't bring out the full story btw them and the cultist, he should be charged for murder because we aren't aware the deceased was with a gun according to the news...

the person who called him was used to lure him out...it was a planned attack.

That question is something that shouldn't come up. That wife would become a mother too. Then she should ask such question.

babafirst:
I agree.They ran this country like a cult with total disregard for due process.I thank God that they did not return to power and I thank God and my conscience that I did the needful with my voting power.Meeeeen ,they were rotten.

if we are to bring back the hands of time..i will vote buhari again again and again.

Holak:
It is between January and July. The last administration ended in May. So what do you have to say for the additional two months?

what is ur point. The money was borrowed to be used for d period covering January to July. I don't get u..maybe this administration did that in may.

20bn..is this through hard work?? No be work people they do everyday??

The last administration was a complete mess.. they actually run the country then like it's their personal business. Only an ethnic and religious bigot would deny this fact.

Let the chess game begin..

The beginning of the end.. God is the best punter or gamer.. lets see how it plays out. It's never over until it is.

Word!in few words.. YOU STAND ALONE.

Seun:
I hereby propose to create a new rule that forbids anyone from asking for money for money - especially investments and donations - on Nairaland later today. The enforcement of this rule will completely block the activities of many scammers. Any objections?

I had to mention you so you could see and reason with me. it's a good idea but at the same time it will do more bad than good.
In as much as anyone is not forced to give out money then there is no need for that. No one know or have my account details and I can't be so gullible to give out what I can't afford or what I will regret..lets think about those whose cry for help are genuine. My 10 naira could save a life, make someone fulfil their dream or attain their potentials. Like the yoruba saying.
Ta ba ni ki a diju ki Eni buruku koja enire na a koja.
Meaning: if we decide to close our eyes in other to avoid seeing or sighting the evil doer we might as well still have the eyes closed when a good person would pass. Thanks

kettykin:
Relocate the oil companies headquarters to niger delta and lagos will be free from igbo migration.


Nigerian Federation was flawed when the oil companies were forced to move their head quarters to lagos against every business logic during the civil war using decree 6 in1969.
Ever since niger delta leadership has not lived up to reputation in their reasoning by allowing these headquarters to remain in lagos of all places.
Time will not permit me to list the full benefits lagos has derived and robbed niger delta by these brazen act of robbery.

Hope came the way of niger delta when an igbo born chima ibeneche who was then the managing director of lng defied and dared the world of wickedness and impunity by relocating the headquarters of lng back to the Niger delta state of Rivers.
Since then even Deziani Madueke did not relocate a single company headquarters to niger delta and jonathan on the last week of his regime ordered the dry dock that is been built for lng projects to be relocated to bayelsa state only to be rebuffed and taken to court with niger delta leaders looking confused.

you should have said this when agriculture was the main-stay of Nigeria..greedy and self centred.

it shouldnt be banned. in as much as no one is forced to give out.

wo ti tu awon were sile.

What makes him not an ordinary man?? He's above death or what?? Or he's above trials in life?? Or what makes him different from you and me.

Can you read this yourself..no head or tail..just packed together.

Daughter of lucifer.

madridguy:
Every reasonable Nigeria want Buhari outta the SP throne. He cannot held down our CHANGE manifesto. Saraki be like " had I know " where is Atiku his godsfather ? Politics is really a dirty game.

Atiku used the not too smart SP. Atiku is nursing his presidential ambition for 2019 while Saraki is also having same plan.. what do you expect. Now Saraki is the bad guy within APC and PDP his former party.
