Reasonable, I think.

KANO - The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II Tuesday voiced his opposition against child marriage saying it's time to peg marriage age in the Nigeria.
Addressing a conference of Northern Muslims Religious Leaders Forum on Primary Health care in Kano, the former Central Bank Governor explained that the reproductive health challenges associated with such practice is enough to discouraged the age long tradition.
Sanusi II said that Nigeria Muslims are ardent followers of Maliki school of thought like Morocco, Malaysia and Egypt, stressing that these brotherly countries had since pegged marriage age .
In Sanusi II words " I believe the time is ripe to take a stand on this age long practice of early marriage, and coincidentally we subscribed to Malikiyya school of thought like Morocco, Malaysia and Egypt who had since pegged marriage age to 17, 19 and 18 respectively".
The emir stated that the role of a woman as a housewife are numerous and highly demanding, as he further stressed the need to allowed our women to attained maturity status before marriage.
Sanusi II who frowned at cultural practices that encourages polygamy noted that "most of those who engage in this practice do not have the necessary economic power to support himself".
The emir who took his audience through historical lane explained "in the past, cities like Kano, Katsina, Aghadez, and Timbuktu hold economic power of the Sahel region, and this economic prospect had since shifted to coastal cities around the globe".
Commenting on wife battery, the emir said that Islam abhors assault on women and he enjoined those involved in the act to desist from such practice.

Very reasonable!

Nice One sir!

He mentioned Nigeria as a cover up, when in the actual sense, he, and of course all Nigerians know too well that his message is for the North.

And the health challenge he talked about? Fistula virginal disease (or whatever they call it) on his mind, which is prevalent in the north.

This guy mumu ni
Why not northern Mulisms?
Why did he mention Nigeria?
Wetin concern Yoruba and Auchi Mulisms with underage marriage
Why he dey use Nigeria cover up

No mind the man
Instead make he face him people directing
He dey dribble around like messi Make BH no come meet am

T9ksy:
Point of correction, i think what the eminent(?) emir meant is, " it is time to peg marriage age in NORTHERN Nigeria.........."

Repentant peadophile!


First return the school girls to their parents then i am all ears.

How old is your latest wife, you boko ATM.

The North need to look inward and solve her problems and become the great region it was meant to be
Very blessed region, fulanis are very bad leaders I swear, they are very corrupt and self centered

Can't wait for hausas to raise and let's help them and send the fulanis back to Mali

When sourcing for the scarce products proves more difficult the butchers resort to crayfish as meat..

Sanusi, come out of ur shell and confess your sins..

The blood of so many underage girl u sent to early grave with ur Armageddon ROD are yelling for ur life..

For those of you saying he should have said the north rather than Nigeria, if the south doesn't have this problem then the law should not be a problem too.
I know many Yoruba secondary school girls who their parents forced them to get married to men that impregnated them. Won't this law help those young ladies too? We don't always have to see things through the lens of tribalism.

I hope he is not advocating for them to peg it at 14 years
