How will he fend for his family if not for the parents support. A teenage boy/girl should be in school studying, not carrying the load of marriage.
Formication is a choice, same as every other sin known to man. If u so much hate formication that u wanna go all out to do away wit it, then u must go the extra mile to cut the tongue u use in telling lies. Cut that hand u use in looting, etc.

d way una carry school matter ee...wats ur definition of education...is it getting a university degree with many unemployed...do dis guys Luk like beggars to u pple...?? dem don marry...even in UK Us pple marry early...we in d south shd luk at tins holistically...some of our parents marry early dan us and were able to build homes...if pple are matured marrying why is divorce high dis days...

Cas1741:
What happened to school? Ok, I get it: 17 yr old northern boy marries 15 yr Aisha, none is educated, they have 10 children at 35yrs for him and twenty for her, none of the children will be educated because parents are busy doing menial jobs to feed them. The children become religious fanatics =book haram =national insecurity. Sad.

oga relax this guy's future is good...stop worrying for them...de can still continue education And do better dan u think...

i sustain my point of argument. “If the second most populous religion “Islam” has contributed commensurately as much as Christianity, the world would have become a better place today.

the world is wer it is today cos humanity takes a last place after race religion And d likes...it's ur view so no issue...

We have put this matter to rest over and over on this NL. It has been shown over and over that every tribe participated in the the coup but the propagandists labelled it an Igbo coup.

go watch Real story of Nigeria by jide and stop cheap ignorance u hear...is banjo and ademoyega who are part of d five majors igbo??

teufelein:
FOR SOME SOPHISTICATED MORONS:

The idea of the first coup in 1966 was originated by a Yoruba Major named Ademola Ademoyega. Their plan was to make Awolowo president. But the coup failed. That coup was foiled by two Igbo men named General Aguiyi Ironsi and Lt. Col Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.
At the time Ironsi took over, he maintained the regional governments. Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu was appointed Military Governor of Eastern Region. Others were: Lt.-Cols Hassan Usman Katsina (North), Francis Adekunle Fajuyi (West) and David Akpode Ejoor (Mid West).

It was Gowon who broke the regions into states. Ironsi was already dead by the time the states were created in 1967.
In a move to check the influence of Ojukwu's government in the East, Gowon announced on 5 May 1967 the division of the 3 Nigerian regions into 12 states: North-Western State, North-Eastern state, Kano State, North-Central State, Benue-Plateau State, Kwara State, Western State, Lagos State, Mid-Western State, and, from Ojukwu's Eastern Region, a Rivers State, a South-Eastern State, and an East-Central State.
Don't forget that even at Aburi in Ghana, Ojukwu insisted on regional governments.

If Igbos are the 'children of hate', then what would you call Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen who have murdered over 100K innocent Nigerians in the past 10 years? Children of love?

the issue we have is distortion of history...i wonder hw pple tagg dat 66 coup an igbo coup...when we had two Yoruba majors banjo and ademoyega with a delta Hausa Nzeogwu who was born and bred in kaduna...the 2 igbos are anuforo and ifeajuna... it's a pity hw sm of these rubbish keep flying...even ojukwu Neva supported Nigeria division initially if not for hw igbos were massacred without reprieve or any actions from Gowon lead military govt...

seunmsg:
It is wrong to suggest that Ogundipe refused to take over. In fact, Ogundipe immediately summoned an emergency supreme ruling council meeting after the death of Ironsi was brought to his notice. Gowon attended the meeting and it was unanimously agreed that Gowon should go and meet Murtala Mohammed and his gang of coup plotters for negotiations. He was to asked for their demands and how to quickly bring the situation of things under control.

However, Gowon betrayed Ogundipe immediately he got to the Ikeja base of the coup plotters. Instead of negotiating truce with the plotters on behalf of the Ogundipe led supreme ruling council, he joined the plotters in their quest for North’s secession. Murtala who led the coup didn’t know what next to do so he just asked Gowon to take over being the most senior officer from the north in their negotiation with UK and US for secession.

man go watch Real story of Nigeria by jide then we can talk...Ogundipe Neva wanted taking over not with how southern soldiers majorly Easterners were brutally massacred....let's present history the right way that way we can all learn...moreso it's error to those saying Ojukwu senior Gowon...even those who claim d ist coup was an igbo coup it's error since two Yoruba majors banjo and ademoyega who wrote why we struck participated in the coup...the others were majors nzeogwu a delta Hausa,while anuforo and ifeajuna were the igbos dee...

Come to think of it, white men built churches but DID NOT enforce Christianity the way Usman danfodio fought his own jihad, these same ppl that took your land and left the Bible built your ports, thought you governance and relinquished power to the hub of Islam (Northern Nigeria). If the white men wanted to Christianize the north, they had the might to do so. Anyways, you seem to give me some intelligent argument which is why I’ll let you be, nevertheless, Islam has been far less resourcesful, contributing far less than Christianity in the world’s development.

go read about the Arab civilization and know that Islam has contributed her quota...i hope u knew how Belgium rule Congo ruthlessly without Leopold stepin feet In Congo...so nobe only Islam get issues thks...

seunaj:
are you arguing the fact that the church has been much more of a blessing to the world than the mosque??

they all have their merit and demerit...dont try to see Islam as d bad ass here...colonial conquest in Africa was made possible by xtian missionaries who were subtle tool for subjugation too...slaves exported were prayed for by clerics...and like someone said de came with dier bible and said let's us pray...we close our eyes and after opening it de had our lands why de left us with d bible... so u can take any conclusions u want to take...

Russia, during the cold war, was atheist. Read up.

were d Americans atheist too cos deir damage was much..?

Neddyogu:
Oga sorry to burst ur bubble, but u can't school me on the political and military history of Nigeria. Ironsides Ironsi introduced the unitary sys of govt with a strong Federal govt to the horror of his contemporaries. What is d situation today? Did those who killed him change anything? Yes because a majority of the officers who were d masterminds of the Jan 1966 mutiny were of eastern extraction, it was termed an 'Igbo coup', prompting mass murder of Igbo soldiers and civilians across the country.
Why couldn't Gowon, Maj. Hassan Katsina and co answer Col.Ojukwu when he asked why Gowon was head of Supreme Military Council when he was not the most senior officer of the Army during the Aburi peace accord in Ghana?
Why couldn't T. Y Danjuma account for his boss whose security was his primary assignment?
Oga if u don't know the facts, I suggest u keep mute and like I said, ask veterans of the war of northern aggression.

you are ranting ignorant like a deluded igbo would do...yes gowon was not d senoir officer den but ogundipe d senior man refused to take over as d situation were not palatable enough...obviously in his view d army had become riotous...the foreign rep of US ND UK ensured Gowon a conservative xtian northerner took over to calm frail nerves...what happened afterwards is one our recent politicians should fix up...like I said go watch the real story of Nigeria by jide if u Choose to wallow in emotional ignorance...dats your issue good night...

mrAMG2:
Sir, what would have been the case if the colony had broken up?

What would life be like now?

what would have been the case if nzeogwu and d other five majors refused destroyin the then civil rule...?? what if our then 1966 civil democracy was allowed to matured uninterrupted till date??

doing well and sponsoring jihadist across the world ko? The best thing the mosque has done in my community is to block major roads every Friday to pray and inturn cause traffic commotion within the metropolis

u are ignorant oga the Americans who invaded Iraq and depose sadaam for false alarm of nuclear weapons is it not a xtians dominated State...the Cold War era wee regimes wee deposed illegally in third world countries by Russia and America are de not xtian dominated...

HeyCorleone:
You ever heard of the crusades and Inquisition? The many wars that ravaged Europe in the middle ages were all Christian-motivated. People have fought wars in "if bread be body or if body be bread".

I'm a Christian too. But the history of Christianity became peaceful only a couple centuries ago.

how folks care to read...the protestants 's catholic wahala in Ireland is dee...dee is extremism in xtianity too...when a deeper lifa is taught to only marry from his or her denomination instead of marrying d rite person anywer is dat not extremism...the Americans who invade Iraq for nothin has her motto as In God we trust...they Cold War era wer regimes were overthrown In Third World countries were spearheaded by Russia and America who are largely xtians dominated...

Nice development. From this project: a bricklayer had won a contact, an architect had fed his immediate and extended family, a plumber has been enriched and many more ordinary ppl have been blessed.
Long live the church!
Long live the church!!
Long live the church!!!
I think It’s high time the mosque stopped being a liability. I advise they starts raising funds from arms too, so that they will not be brainstorming the followers alone, but also contribute to national growth and development. The church has raised lots of entrepreneurs, lots of CEOs and inspired many intellectuals to interact, and develop. Remove the church from Nigeria and the remainders will be Carcasses. Any religion that preaches against Civilization but encourages population, emphasizing arms giving and receiving to cater for needless unwanted kids roaming around the streets is a danger to the world and of course, the unborn generations

see how ignorant you are am sure you know Saudi Arabia,uae,qatar are Islamic countries who are doing well...

Neddyogu:
Yes Mohammed wanted secession initially but fought against it later. The counter coup by Northern officers was d brainchild of Murtala Mohammed. He got so pissed when Gowon was selected to head d new govt that he plotted another coup with I.D Bisalla, Joseph Nanven Garba and co. Bisalla would later betray him and was implicated in Col. B.S Dimka's failed coup. Oga I suggest u read up, or better still listen to men who were veterans of the war of northern aggression.

Tomorrow when someone raises the fact that Ironsides Ironsi died at d behest of T.Y Danjuma and other northern murderers, you'd say it's distorted history.

oga if dee is anyone to school u na me... I have read and done extensive research...ty danjuma was a key part of ironsi security detail...but let's not twist facts here and there...ironsi had through decree 34 turn Nigeria to a unitary state despite ojukwu warning...the Hausa Fulani officers felt d igbos who were doing well economically would take charge also politically and ironsi was so naive with hw he handled situations including not punishing the coup plotters...and favoring sm persons...of course those who took over didn't change such structure which is still our albatross til tomoro...just watch day real story of Nigeria and come back thanks

A security guard here in the US who works overtime hours makes more money yearly than majority of Nigerian doctors in Nigeria, that's just the sad truth.

our health facilities are beneath ,it is clear and we all know that but do you know if we have good leaders that are not greedy, we in Africa would move further and security, health and others will be great and world class in Africa, they are a lot of things I'll love to have spoke about but it would be really long, one thing is DAT many African , don't bliv good can come out from Africa, they put themselves beneath, its not always the government, the people are a part of the government too, the people's mentality is not favouring other citizens that are positive, our athletes do big abroad cause they have great talents that are appreciated more over there .

like u said Africa has potential if the right templates of leadership,sensible and responsible followership and functional structure is set in motion...moreover I wonder how Akon will compare a whole continent with a country...is Africa a country...lets compare country to country so that the conversation will make sense...its not all gloomy I agree but the situation can improve...

sanmisantos:
It saddened me to know that the north wanted to secede after they realised the havoc they had wrecked but they were still reintegrated.

blame Britain they neva wanted their newly independent colony to break up before dier eyes...and that was why they infleunced gowon to be head of State...and after gowon was overthrown he was accepted in UK wer he studied up to PhD political science in university of Warwick

gidgiddy:
Gowon was not chosen by consensus, he was chosen by Murtala Mohammed and other Northern coup plotters because he was the highest ranking Northerner in the Nigerian Army at the time. The seniority problem was an issue between Ojukwu and Gowon because Ojukwu was technically senior to Gowon, however, it was settled at Aburi where Ojukwu decided to recognise Gowon as head of state if Gowon kept to the Aburi agreement. Unfortunately, Gowon could not keep to the agreement

everything here u wrote is a blatant lie...murtala was unhappy after gowon was favored to take over...why do u take he later overthrew gowon in 1975 after gowon WAs not akin to hand over to a civilian regime...ojukwu no senior gowon I know u be igbo go read or watch Real story of Nigeria by jide

Neddyogu:
The Counter-coup of July 1966 was d brainchild of Murtala Mohammed. He wasn't chosen as supreme leader cos he was deemed too difficult to control by fellow coup plotters. 'Gentle Jack' Yakubu Gowon was seen as a more suitable candidate.

that's a lie...murtala wanted secession for the north...it was d UK and US foreign rep who saw gowon a conservative Christian northerner as a better alternative to a radical murtala a Muslims northerner...gowon knew about the coup anyway as he was occupying a privilege position den in presidential villa Lagos...infact when Colonel Anthony madiebo came to inform ironsi about an impending coup...gowon and the Ig rubbish such when ironsi called them...40 days later ironsi would be killed with fajuyi in Ibadan...it's either some of u guys are historically ignorant or choose to distort facts to sway gullible minds...like I say go download or watch Real story of Nigeria by Jide...Peace...

stagger:
Gowon was chosen by consensus. Nigeria had no leader between July 29, 1966 and August 1, 1966. Three days.

Ojukwu was senior to Gowon and was irked by the decision. He could not see himself answering sir to his junior. That was partly why it was difficult for them to have reasonable talks over the violence that erupted in the North against Southerners (the pogrom). That was why the Ghanaian government decided to act as mediator by bringing them to the Aburi conference.

make una no twist fact ojukwu was not senior to gowon he only wanted brigadier ogundipe to take over as the senior man available den but ogundipe saw d situation untenable he had to back out...stop ignorance...go watch Real story of Nigeria by Jide...it's on you tube...watch and thank me later...distorted history is worst Dan not teaching at Al...

Try this poo in overseas country where their Judicial system is still working and see what the result will be. There are alternative to blood transfusion without loss of life. Who says parent cannot make decision for a child that is yet to reach and independent age. Nigerian heath system do not have the capacity for alternative technology of saving life thereby seeking redress in our faulty Judicial system.

Note: There are numbers of cases where certified doctors has adopted alternative means of treatment successfully without blood transfusion, so this one case cannot justify for the rest. Human right still holds and should be respected.

what are u implying Now...

I don't understand what this guy is saying there...onnoghen has retired he should be allowed to fight his case square on Now...in court... all this noise is too much...the judiciary is to blame they allowed the other two arms to undermine them...salami has faced ridicule...Now onnoghen tomoro it might be Adamu turn
