buzugbe:
Most Igbo girls marry late cos of the high dowry that is placed on them.
suitors can't afford to lavish such amount all in the name of marriage.

omar22:
It reminds me of Gordon Brown offer to train the Nigerian Army in exchange for crude oil,

kaecy5:
we could start another analysis

N2m dowry + trad marriage N1m + knocking on the door and other things 500k + white wedding hiring hall 800k + decoration 200k + new suit/gown  100k + transportation/hotel for inlaws/family 100k + food 300k = $$$$$$$

u see why the igbo boy marries late, some times u wish he can get support from his parents or family like his yoruba friends, remember he still has to contend with being the highest bidder u know

kaecy5:
i think we are missing something here

the whole system in nigeria encourages people to marry late

1. starts primary school at 6 and graduate at 12
2. jss 1 starts at 12 or 13 then at 18 or 19 u r out
3. except for the very few some try jamb and waec 2 or 3 times so lets say averagely u enter university at 21
4. 21 + 4 year program + 2 years strike + 1 year wait at home doing nothing b4 u r posted for NYSC +1 year NYSC = 29
5. u r just leaving the school system at 29 then some adjust age to 25 and compress their primary education so as to get a job in a bank

6 calculating with the new age, 25(29) u get a job at 26(30), u rent your first self contain at 27-28(31 - 32) then u think u have started to settle down 29 - 30 (33-34) , then u start looking for whom to date men tell me u would only see girls like u , or u go down to university to date some one younger and turn to her meal ticket

well this may not apply to rich kids that attend(ed) private schools.

at the end u are either 31(officially) or 35(naturally), even the under 17 team did not that that bad

so now u can get married

Sorry, but I wouldn’t even put the police in the same class as any of our armed forces.

They have no control over traffic not to talk of crime.

After declaring him a fugitive of the law, Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is apparently unsure whether or not to arrest the beleaguered former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nasir El-Rufai, whose plan to return to the country is currently making news headlines.

Mr. El-Rufai in a letter on Tuesday, declared his intention to return to Nigeria after about a year’s stay in the U.S. He said that he will return to the country in December.

Femi Babafemi, the EFCC spokesman told NEXT yesterday that “He has a case to answer. He has a pending invitation, his matter is already before the courts,” but he neither confirmed nor denied any plans to arrest Mr. El-Rufai.

Defiant

In an email interview with NEXT yesterday from his base in Dubai, Mr. El Rufai explained further that “ I have received warnings that even beyond arrest and the manufacture of trumped-up charges, my life, liberty and well-being would be jeopardised by the government when I return.”

Speaking in the sense of presumed martyrdom, Mr. El Rufai stated that assumed dangers would not hinder his return. He said: “In all honesty, I am unable to predict that all institutions would be guided in their actions by these constitutional restraints. But I believe that if people like me have a public name and face recognition do not stand up to symptoms of tyranny, then what is the hope of the ordinary Nigerian?”

Ahead of the trip back home, Mr. El Rufai who left Nigeria last year to take up a Mason Fellowship and enroll in the Public Policy Program at Harvard, sent a note to friends and the media saying, against a strong advice from many friends to stay away, he would surely return soon. He did not give a clear date but aides who spoke to NEXT yesterday in Abuja said it will be “anytime in December.”

Right decision

Phrasing his motivation in the words of the late American civil rights hero, Martin Luther King, Jnr, Mr. El Rufai said: “Cowardice asks the question– is it safe? Expediency asks the question is it politic? Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.”

Earlier in the year, on Wednesday, May 6, 2009, the EFCC charged Mr. El-Rufai to court on an eight-count charge, including abuse of office, and followed this up by declaring him wanted on account of his failure to appear before the courts. In September, the anti graft agency said it had begun extradition process against the former FCT minister.

In the past, the Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoakaa, had also said arrangements were being concluded to prosecute the former FCT minister, Nasiru El-Rufai, on charges of abuse of office and corrupt practices, claiming that the Senate Committee that investigated the activities of the former Minister “has established cases of corruption and abuse of office against him.”

“I’m following due process. I’m not talking against him. Now that he sees apparently that constitutionally he cannot stop government from prosecuting somebody , he is trying to deceive foreign governments, where he is staying, that he is a political prisoner.”
