Yeah... Tho ISLAMS should be exempted since their religion condone it.


Yes, Islam condone marrying underaged. Nnadi Azikwe that married a 16 years old adolescent while he was near his grave was a Muslim. Bianca that married her ancestor called Agbari-Ojukwu too is a Muslim. Likewise Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu that married his grand-daughter's classmate is a Muslim. Emeka Offor that also married his grand-daughter's age mate is also Muslim.

You fool are one of the reasons while Osama bin Laden bomb people.

What right have you to determine good and bad, right and wrong? To impose your opinions on others albeit faulty.

I see nothing wrong in it as long as the lady is 18 years and does it with her full consent.

I guess op was dumped by his girl. There are lots of girls out there op. cheer up. Jealousy is not good
It is my opinion and I don't see where I imposed it on any individual.

If you want to engage in such type of marriage then it's your problem not mine.

My daughter will not get married to a man 30 years above her age whether she's 18 years or 30 years.

That's my opinion and i'll live by it till I enter the grave. smiley

Ladies; do not marry a man as old as your father! Would you love to bury your husband before you bury your daddy?

Haba!! His wealth is not yours; his family and relatives know better, they'll come after you.

While the above may be true for some, ladies have the final say in this.

Bianca's dad was richer than Ojukwu...so money may as well be scrapped out. Same thing with some other ladies in the eastern part of the country
Yea,,i was very careful about using money as a major factor due to bianca's case.

But what do we know? It could be for the sake of political gains that the marriage took place.

[b]Once a lady is brought up without her parents inculcating the virtues of discipline and hardwork in her, just any one will climb her, so long as she will get money from the escapade. But it goes beyond that.

From the times of old, the kingdom of love suffereth emotional violence and only sharp babes take it by force. A new marriage culture seems to be taking place in Nigeria. It has been discovered that younger women preferred marrying older men who are advanced enough to be their fathers and this virus is catching on fast.

When the late Owelle of Onitsha and first President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, in his late ages declared his intention to then marry his youngest wife, Uche, a member of the renowned Afikpo traditional dance named ‘Nkwa Nwite’ which entertained him when he visited Afikpo, Nigerians cried blue. Reason was because of the age difference. Zik was then in his 70s while Uche was barely 16 years. The marriage took place and today, the rest they say is history.

In 1989, it was publicized that Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu was dating the late former Biafran Head of State and Ikemba of Nnewi Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, a political associate of her father. Ojukwu who was alleged to be over thirty years her age later married her. By early 1990s, Bianca Onoh, became Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

Not done, Shade married business mogul Okoya Thomas when she was 18 years in 2002. Later, there were reports that ex- beauty queen; Susan Hart is 'reportedly' married to Chief Sunny Kuku.


72-year-old Nigerian billionaire, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a politician, statesman and Chairman of the Champion Newspaper, created controversy after getting married to a girl almost 50 years his junior and tied the proverbial nuptial knot with 26-year-old Frances Chinonyerem Enwerem in a traditional ceremony that took place in Owerri, Imo State, Capital. The wedding comes two years after Iwuanyanwu, lost his wife Eudora Iwuanyanwu, to cancer. Frances is reported to be the daughter of one of Iwuanyanwu’s late wife's close friends.

Trailing behind Iwuanyanwu in this new marriage culture is Emeka Offor, businessman and a contractor from Anambra State. Ofor reported to be in his sixties secretly took another wife. He performed the traditional rite for the marriage of a 24-year old girl as the fourth wife. The ceremony took place at the residence of the father of the bride, Alexander Okey Ufondu, at Umuezeopi in Oraifite, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State. The bride named Adaora lives with his husband in the highbrow district of Maitama in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory of Abuja.The wedding generated ripples in the religious communities of Oraifite, the hometown of both Mr Offor and his new father in law, Mr Ufondu, an Onitsha-based trader.

Why are young women marrying older men who are old enough to be their Fathers age mates? Lailas Blog spoke with Nigerians of diverse persuasion and their responses are detailed below:

Onyanwe Aku Uche attributes it to poverty. According to the student of Abia State University, it’s money and status only. Uche is of the view that such marriages lead to adultery and promiscuousness because, he believes that the old men cannot be able to s*xually perform their bed responsibilities.

According to him, no marriage survives without s*x even though they enjoy such marriages, the girls are accused of pretending in such marriages.

"This is strictly for the money, does she want to call it love? Why will the children support such a marriage? Marriage counsels said such marriages doesn’t last because the death of the man nullifies such marriages and the young girl would now go and marry the young ones they love with the late old man’s money.

Oluokun Stephen stated that all the essence is for money, status and security. When there is money, women will marry anything inside trouser, it is obvious that such girls will be getting s*x elsewhere.”
But a lady disagrees.
Anna Unachukwu: "We unfortunately want to create a kind of civilization that has no basis for rationality, and who told you that old men cannot have s*x? Is she complaining that her man cannot satisfy her s*xually? You forget that men's urge for s*x still lives with them even when they are eighty but it is not the same for women when she reaches menopause.

Have you ever slept with an old man and found him incompetent? Many ladies who marry people not old enough to be their fathers still go in the closet to use dildos and vibrators. Is your understanding of marriage only based on s*x? Where is companionship?"

Sociologist, Chinedu Ukwu blamed Nigeria economy for such marriage. He was of the view that if the nation’s economy should improve where the girls could get job and take care of themselves, most of the older men would be rejected when they approach most of these girls for marriage.

Another funny angle tongue
Clare Okpala said that it serves the old men right. She said that such girls are on revenge mission to what some boys have done to their older female lovers. She said that the young ladies perch on the oldies for their money and would dump them when they have gotten what they want.

"Serves the older perverts right, for marrying women young enough to be their daughters/ granddaughters."

Ladies, should you marry on right priorities or simply because of money and greed? There are consequences for whatever option you chose; both good and bad. The ball is on your court.[/b]

MsRemarkable:
The post sha long.

All I know is that the daughters of such men end up with older men too. Karma no dey do that one with anybody.
Forget that karma story o, the trait of marrying grandpas almost only manifests amongst poor ladies. If 'such men' are wealthy enough, dia daughters don't get betrothed to grandpas unless maybe that particular daughter is physically, mentally, emotionally and/or psychologically disadvantaged so much that she can't really bring a decent man home. An exception to this, is wen the girl and/or her wealthy parents are very greedy.

Am not saying i like to marry a older man , But this days a girl can hardly see a successful young guy... just imagine you still see a guy of 28 years still in school.. which time will he use and start making a career.. 50% of an average man is still staying with their parent ... Some are still even acting childish .

Yes CRIME, because I see it is now a crime to marry whoever we want even for whatever reason,all NL hypocrites screaming blue murder around here especially the ladies will do same if given the opportunity trust me....you all accuse people behind their backs buh praise them in their front...

an example of a junior of mine in secondary school,she was only 18,she completed sec school and immediately got married to a 52years old very wealthy widower,we all laughed at her,some insulted her buh to my suprise this same set of, people attended her elaborate wedding,she went overseas with her husband and 9 months later came home with her bouncing baby girl,this same hypocrites went to welcome her,collected the gifts she brought and were thanking her and singing how beautiful she looks,how lucky she is.

See I would rather cry in a mansion and wipe my tears with golden handkerchief than laugh in a face me I slap you one bedroom apartment.

My point is if given the opportunity,most girls would do same.
yea call me gold digger,buh I'd rather save my sef from all dis relationship brouhaha and heartbreaks

Thank you[/b]
