That is why the Muslim north marry off their girls early; it is better they bear their children under the respectability of marriage than produce them out of wedlock, as Bastards - yet some ppl are abusing us as backwards and paedophiles - making reference to extreme examples as the norm to justify their insults.

This is what you get from abandoning your moral compass and adopting wayward ways in the name of advancement - skimpily dressed young school girls fornicating left right and centre/ doing runs and lots of baby mamas.

The alarming rate of teenage pregnancy in the Rural areas

The incessant increase is rate of teenage pregnancy in the Rural area is so alarming and obnoxious, this societal problem is as dangerous and damaging as other social vices e.g Cultism, Drug, thuggery etc

This societal abnormality as begin to seems normal in the Rural areas, this problem is not peculiar to the Rural area, but the recent rise in the rate of teenage pregnancy in that part is unprecedented

My recent visit to my village,in the Yuletide mood expose me to another dimension of this vices, which got me pissed off.

Hardly can you see a girl in her early 20's and teens without having a baby or two out of wedlock, is so disheartening hearing stories of 14,15 years old kids so exposed sexually, the moral bankruptcy of our youths both male and females is so injurious to our societal standing and status, Urgent measures are needed to be taken to avert the pending danger of this abnormality ...

Pointing out the problems without proposing solutions is fruitless, So in lieu of the aforementioned problem, these are the my proposed solutions

1. Including sex education in our secondary school syllabus

2. Organising seminars to orientate the youth about the danger and control of sex, the message should be
Targeted to both sexes, not just at the girls.

3. Parent have a lot of task in this context, by teaching and counselling their wards about the danger of tenage pregnancy and other moral lessons

4. The community as a whole as their part to play by reporting any suspicious dealings with underage girls and boys and also placing caution on them

5. The adult male are the major perpetrators of this evil act, by devilishly taking advantage of this tenage girls..knowing fully the pending danger it can cause to the girls career ambition and future, forgetting the girl can be their sisters, daughters, etc. adult males are advised to find conscience if they gat none, to find end to this societal problem. And Lastly

5. Criminalising the act of teenage pregnancy: I think this will go a long way in curbing this crises, by punishing the offender with a threat of imprisonment ,I think this will enable other youth take caution of this act knowing fully the punishment awaiting offenders...I think females have the potential of becoming whatever they desires, so we shouldn't allow the selfish act of some people ,with their desire of few minutes pleasure to ruin the future of our female children by taking advantage of their gullibility.

I think we all have our roles to play in curbing this crises..

if this is your reason for getting married to under age girls then

And you must be a product of those under aged girls producing children out of wedlock a.k.a. bastards.

Gosh! Wetin be dis! See killing of English abeg. This is intolerably bad. I know that English is not our native language but this write up is littered with just too many blunders.

Tolupride:
So from the whole message, the only comment u can manage to harmonise in ur head was to criticise the English, nothing can seems meaningful to you..it really tell me more about who u are. anyway no one is an island of knowledge. I stand to be corrected. the message was composed on an impromptu basis without d thought of making Fp..

i agree with some of your write up but not all... a girl in her 20's can do whatever she pleases and nobody's biz. An 18 uear old same, you cant think for her cus she is an adult. The problem we have in this country is we draw development back by leaning on slave mentality. In Nigeria it is still a custom that when your family members dont accept a person you cannot marry the person even if their fears are just from personal dislike or a wish for someone of societal standards that is higher. However if you say 15 and 16 year olds i agree with you that it is wrong and neexs to be checkmated... but how do you do that when sex is something we protect more than value. The reason this kids get pregnamt alot is because our society places such a high premium on sex whereas nature itself made the body to yearn for sex at an early age. Back in the days 15, 16 was ripe for marriage because all the training they need was already instilled in them. In most developed countries today a vast majority of teens can start their own families early because they were allowed to stand on their own early in life. At 25 your father will wait for you at the door to query your noctural movement as if he will be alive forever.

Sorry for my epistle. Bottom line is we need to educate our kids from an early age and let society be more independent other than trying to monitor them in our hipocrisy. The same adults who scream upandan are those who impregnate 14 year old kids. All the governors in Nigeria today starting from fayose who has turned ekiti state govt house to his private brothel where he sleeps with 3 gals every night are the root of the problem. When your leaders are not upright then you cannot be in a sane society.
