Tolexander: why would you call a man, another person's father oloshi? It is unfair now! Had you called him oloriburuku, it would still have been better.
@topic! It will be better if the bills passed and debates in the house can be made known to the public. Cos many of the legislative members like this man never knew there would be such reaction from the public.
Some of you are ridiculous!
A man just voted to destroy the lives of millions of girls and your dumb self is busy worrying about respect for him. You Nigerians are a shame with your thinking.
Despite there being millions of Hausa-Fulani women, list for us just 10 that are in leading positions in the public sector.
Please go ahead and start listing.
Many of them's lives are destroyed from a young age with paedophiles using Islam and a man votes to ensure it continues and all you are worried about is "respect for the man".
stillwater: Madam Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had enough with this crap. You've been parading this bitchy, side talks and I've been quiet. If you were sexually active as a child/teenager, better confess it or else keep quiet! What's with the stu.pid talk of children on some s..ex spree? Were you on a se..x spree at 12, madam? If you had a questionable background, kindly confess it! The women from my own background minded their books, don't know about yours. The girl I knew who had a child outside wedlock was actually raped! No girl desires to be prostitute without a bloody predator in the background who has molested her sensibilities. For a woman like yourself to be complacent with this fracas, shame on you! Silly thing.
Her father probably married her off at 6 years old to an Imam.
i AM HAPPY THERE IS STILL A REASONABLE ELDER IN NORTH
You are an i-diot!
He stole all your money as a civil servant to become a billionaire and you are calling him a reasonable elder because he is looking for a populist view to ride on in hope he can come back to steal more as President.
Next time you need to tell him to shut up and no opinion of his matter.
LagosShia: [b] On a personal note, of all the rhetoric in support of this bizarre practice, there’s nothing I find more repugnant than using the religion of Islam as justification.
Historically, Islam is often misrepresented and perceived through bias Orientalist pejorative- an orchestrated mechanism devised primarily to demonize Prophet Mohammed and Islam.
These Orientalists and those who reason as such, often mention the age of Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Mohammed, to promote an agenda meant to ridicule the entire faith.
Please permit me to digress and address my Muslim brethren without going into too much detail.
The notion that Aisha was 6 at betrothal or 9 at consummation can’t be substantiated, as the veracity of that story has been debunked with historical events that contradict such a possibility.
Evidences such as when she was born, period Aisha’s parents accepted Islam, her previous betrothal to someone else (Jubair), the time Khadija (first wife of Prophet) died, age of Fatima (Prophet Mohammed’s daughter) a contemporary of Aisha, age of Aisha’s sister, Asma. Other evidences include, Aisha’s involvement in some expeditions, battle of Uhud especially, her scholarly contributions, time of her death and other indisputable facts, have nullified this age ’6′ and ’9′ fable.
Some scholars, through the rigorous study of such evidences, stated Aisha may have been at least 19 years of age during her consummation.[/b]
Some people also think it was the American government that blew up the World Trade Center so as to be able to start a war with Iraq.
My point is why do you appear to highlight this article as if these "some scholars" are the right ones? There are other scholars who put her at 9 and they seem to be winning the argument in the Islamic world considering many with sharia courts allow girls under 15 to marry and many governments do not intervene so as to avoid a retributional jihad.
Now we are having a significant proportion of Senators from Sharia states showing us they support the other scholars you want to casually dismiss.
kulyie: Well I am a liberalist,if she feels good about her sexual lifestyle,good for her.who am I to judge.come to think of it nigeria is a secular socierty.anyone can live his or her life the way it so pleases him
You will be amazed (if you re-check your school sociology textbooks) that secular societies actually do employ the use of rules/laws. It is different from an anarchist society.
Some of you need to start understanding the buzz words you hear and throw about so lamely.
andyanders: For me, I can NEVER hide money from my wife. As a matter of fact, my wife keeps our money in her account and I only keep little in my account for just fueling my car and other little things. This has helped us to plan things and we have about 4 buildings now. To me, my wife is the best banker for the family, the best friend to me and my best adviser because I usually spend all my money with me when I go out with friends as I tend t give out any amount with me when people ask for money from me, I give out to a fault. But since I started keeping my money with my wife, I tell her to give me the amount I needed for the day and I make sure I spend within what I have. With this practice, it has helped us to plan for so many things. In fact, I tell me wife any amount of money with me I get even if it is 10 naira as I do not know how to hide. I drop my money open in my wardrobe and my wife and I can take money as we want and when we run out, we both go to the bank together. Men can have their own opinion, but for me, having to be open to your wife will make her believe you when you tell her that you do not have, she will know you don't have. When you hide money from her, anytime you explain that you do not have money, she can NEVER believe you as she will take your response with doubt.
And, from all evidence, the best person to fck you up if/when she chooses to.
"Anything short of that is an infringement on our rights. We did not ask you to marry ladies of that age or give your daughters out in marriage at that age. Plzzzzzzzz respect our senselessness."
Just by viewing clips of this man speaking, no question he has mental health issues.
In a more advanced country, he would be sectioned. He is an example of Foday Sankoh.

After the second voting, Yerima tried to get up to thank the Senate Present and his colleagues in an attempt to claim victory, he was shouted down and booed.
Now we know the names of our paedophile lawmakers. Please lets append "Honourable Paedophile" before their names when referring to them.
[quote author=oche_ejemb]This happens quite a lot in Nigeria actually, even some banks. Look at the related threads at the top of this page[/quote]It happens does not mean it would stand up in court.
Either the employers are ignorant or they are playing on people's ignorant or Nigeria's judicial system is insane.
Despite how poor Nigeria is in everything, I don't think the judicial system can be that incompetent and insane. It must be one of the other two.
We are borrowing money (£700m) and putting future generations in debt and servitude while Patience Jonathan is using our current money to build £16m talking-house for useless First Ladies instead of infrastructure for the people.
Ajibam:"I Signed Myself Into Slavery Because Of Unemployment And Now I Can't Get Out"
Please I urgently need the help of any legal practitioners. I really don't know what I've gotten my self into.
I finished NYSC last year and two months later I was interviewed for a job at an Indian owned Pharmaceutical company. After two months I was offered the job as a Medical representative. My self and all other successful applicants were given a one-week training before we were all dispatched to our different states.
Among the employment forms we were given to sign there was a SERVICE BOND form which states that "I am to work with the company for TWO YEARS or pay a sum of 250.000" I signed because of the employment situation in the country and to be honest I was desperate I couldn't afford to be unemployed I had so many family pressures I was almost becoming depressed.
I am now on the job and my people I AM SEEING HELL!!! I work tirelessly my salary is less than 100k I spend a greater amount of it on transportation(Nature of the Job as a Medical Representative I Move from one place to the other) we were promised a car for mobility but this is almost 6months and absolutely nothing is being said about it. I am under the sun under the rain working. I hate complaining because I feel it is synonymous to being ungrateful but some days I can't take it I feel like quitting on the spot!
After I realised the service bond I signed I refused to sign the offer of employment letter (I still have it in my possession). Now I'm seeking a less stressful job because honestly this one is beginning to affect my health. How do I go about this SERVICE BOND please I really need help. I can't pay that 250k I can barely save up to 20k every month infact successfully saving 10k a month is a miracle! And I can't work for another 18 months I'm not sure I will survive. Please I need Your help!
I am pretty sure there is no way a legal document asking you to pay a sum (N250K) for wanting to discontinue employment will stand up in any sane court. More so since the N250K was not given to you e.g. as joining bonus or golden handshake.
Worse still, when the company has not lived up to its responsibilities, expectations and promises.
Don't be conned by some useless contract that is not valid. LEAVE!
ogb5: A man who sold his brother, Ibori, to enemies because he was deprived of being governor of delta state. Vanity upon vanity. Used his position as speaker to provide evidence to have Ibori jailed.
While our players were idiotically trying to dribble around goalkeepers when playing Tahiti, Uruguay are just popping it in un-stylishly as long as it counts.
That will be another lesson for the dumb black man! Always trying to look cool, instead of doing the job.
Even if we win Spain, it will only be a consolation prize because we did not score the extra 6 goals we needed against Tahiti. The ones that Ideye and Ujah missed because they were busy trying to look cool.
Public officials are spending money they can never get from their salary on lavish parties and all your President can do is to sack them? What about probing them?
