In other words, stay indoors and do not step a foot outside because if you do, there is a chance you can get hit by a car. I see your reasoning, it is PERFECT!
By the way are you supposed to DETAIN and JAIL someone on SUSPICION of HYPNOSIS or after actually proving that they did it...? and who is supposed to be providing this PROOF - the man that is already locked up in JAIL... the parents/police Or the fact that the girl is the one out there trying to bring this to news and social media attention doesn't count!?

Abso-fvcking-lutely PERFECT, LOGICAL reasoning!!!

I am very sure there is what they call bail when someone is being detained. By the way if the guy has respect, regards and value for his family ( parents) or siblings if they are alive and actually support his marriage to this girl after her parents have said no, They will be the one looking for ways to bail him out and give him opportunity to fight for this his do or die marathon he is taking. Obviously he does not respect his parents if not he will know that it is a suicide mission in Africa to marry a woman when her parents say no, I mean who brought him up?. this guy obviously has an agenda. Even a stray dog that people pick up on the road when the owner finally notice their dog has gone astray they make an official police report depending on how much they value their dog, it is the duty of the police to look for the dog and arrest who ever it's in possession unless the person can proof that he actually found the dog and tried to locate the owner but to no avail. Talk less of a full blown human being that have capable parents alive and you think you can just marry her without their consent? The girl is seemingly hypnotized, bcoz they never raised her that way. Hence the parents reaction

How is it a 'sham' marriage?

If they married legally in court, there's nothing 'sham' about it. It's a legally binding arrangement in a country where polygamy is legal.

The crux of the matter here is the parent sending police to arrest the husband. Last I checked, having another wife (if true) is not grounds for arrest in Naija.
A shot gun marriage, though legal is a sham. If the people who should support you through that marriage are not there to affirm that consent. As we have seen time and time again, our Nigerian men are not worth going to this length for marriage. I hope she does not regret in the future. A man that will support marrying without her parents consent is not someone a woman should have confidence in. it has been proven over and over. A woman should not take such steps. A man can, but not a woman. A lot of men abuse women who have no family backing. They are even mocked in fights. I have witnessed this before. It is very risky for a woman to do this. Very. Especially in a Nigerian setting even inlaws will mock.

Ain't nothing more to it o. The girl has said it ll - her parents want her to marry someone else - besides, the guy is my FRIEND; I know him personally. The "hypnosis / abduction" gist is 100% false!!!

Ask your friend if someone he doesn't approve of wants to marry his daughter will he be happy? Karma will surely catch up with him. We are taught to honor our parents, he should seek the consent of the girl's parents not act so shamefully when he is not a kid.

You don't have an argument... from HYPNOSIS and ABDUCTION you have jumped to FAMILY VALUE and RESPECT. So now, to marry, a man should go and make a POLICE REPORT or receive POLICE PERMISSION!? Guy, when you calm down later... try read all this things when you type here!

Ask yourself (or whoever else you consult) if that girl was FORCED, ABDUCTED or HYPNOTIZED... and while you are at it, ask yourself why she is also out there FIGHTING against her parents.
By the way, what is SHAMEFUL about what he did? If he was hiding in the dark, taking money, fvcking the heck out of and basically just taking advantage of her; una go complain... he comes out boldly to put a ring on it, una still dey complain... People, na wa o!

I cannot believe an educated person is the one who typed this drivel.

My word, for someone who talks about honoring parents, you sure wasted the money invested in your education by your folks.

What a disgrace. You may have lost the ability to feel shame, but you'll be gratified to know I feel deeply ashamed for you.


You are the one that should be ashamed of yourself, your level of knowledge you claim depend on the kind of education you are exposed to. Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education. You are in africa where people do all sort of things in marriage and even after marriage, you read a post and you look at only one possibility when anything is possible in life. A parent claims his child was hypnotized not bewitched, even in America where people use as reference, hypnosis is against the law hence you can be arrested and jailed if found guilty. You are here pouring shambles of being ashamed of me. Who are you and what are you to be ashamed of me?, be ashamed of yourself coz the fact that things seems wrong In your eyes does not mean they are wrong. get more education, know the true meaning of hypnosis and come back let's talk. slowpoke

You made some valid points. Like you mentioned earlier,if a lady is to marry without her parents consent she should make sure the guy is worth it and again make sure the guy has an outstanding parents too who supports their decision.

My annoyance is with some parents who rejects a girls choice based on flimsy excuses and to satisfy their own interest.

I am all for parental consent and will do anything to have it. But in a case where it is not forthcoming and there are no valid reasons for it,should one dance to the tune of the parents?knowing fully well it wont make her happy.

Very compelling and sensible points... For me, the bane of the whole issue is why arrest the guy and lock him up? Did he threaten or fight this people?

What 'sane' parents will do is approach the boys family and convince them that this union won't make sense... Involve religious or other influential people to make their case. Did this family here do that? Obviously they felt they couldn't stoop so low, even if na dangote dem be sef...hian!

Guy the police did not just jump into the matter uninvited, read the post again, the parents of the girl used the police to arrest the guy because they did not give consent to they marriage hence they believed their child was HYPNOTIZED believed she was in danger, so they called the police, for all I can say their is more to this story. Highest an African will do is say we count us out of your life since you decide to marry without us but ones they involve the police be rest assure their is more and everyone tries to protect what they love. The guy needs to be watched. If Na guy report say him parents arrest him wife say them believe say she hypnotize am to marry her una for all they shout here say African women with their desperation for marriage, go and bail her out and run for your life. Better still some will say live the gold digger their and run for your life, shabi your family Don tell you say she be witch.

The fact of the matter is, it is how the girl presented him to her parents that caused this. Also being that he is also igbo, we can rule out tribalism as a cause. Even if the girl is the impulsive type, the guy ought not to be. What happened shows that they are both impulsive and childish. Which is not a good trait at all and can never sustain a marriage. If they try and the girl's parents are still hell bent, it's best he leaves her where she is. I don't know why people want to be where they are not wanted. Is she sure that this man she is fighting for will go against his family for her? It's very rare to find a man that will do this. They will push to do for their own gain, but when na to reciprocate, story go enter the matter. Human beings are inherently selfish and they take a lot of advantage of other's. She is opening herself to a lot of possible future harm without the presence of her parents. I am not too sure of the intention of a Nigerian man that will encourage a woman to do this. I will just put it down to childishness.

What kind of nonsense is this? We're in 2016 not 1816!

The man (30 yrs old) and woman (28 yrs old) are adults and they have right to marry with or without their parents consent! No matter how upset anyone is about it, the couple are adults and can do whatever they want!

Their rights are infringed by the useless police and whoever call the police!
I hope the couple sues.

Thank you, Texaz! Honestly, some people's stupidity knows no bounds. Apparently, in their tiny little heads, the only marriages that fail are the ones without the parents' blessing. Mtcheew. Rubbish! If only Nigerian parents were as kin on the country's development in the same way as they are on marriage! Always wanting to control - they're your children, not your property! Just because you put a child through school - which you're supposed to! You brought them into this world afterall. Did they beg you to? - doesn't been you own them!

texazzpete:


Look at you, quoting Bible and talking about Love in a case when Parents used police to illegally detain an innocent man for nothing.

With all the nonsense you posted, one would think that parental consent prevents infidelity and violence.

99% of the broken marriages in Nigeria were done with the blessings of the parents and religious bodies.

I am not a Catholic, in my Church you must present a letter of consent from your parents both male and female before you can start counseling. They taught us this cos a similar thing happened in the Church.

So in other words your parents can marry you to a big fat bellied man you ve never seen while you are in love with someone else.

4 he insists that the person in Catholic( he is a knight of saint mulumba)
5 he is a chief in his village and wants a personal of social standing
6 controls his family with an iron fist
You can under why she has lost potential suitors in the past.. One fella from UNTH and another from LUTH

Her father has been a abusive to at least one suitor that I know of
There will be more to this tale from what I gather.. Probably legal redress to protect her mum and her sister
