Exactly, why marry her off and continue perpetuating the circle of poverty. Who is going to take care of whom...the baby girl or the baby man? Why subject the poor girl to such situation which in the long run negates every objective reasoning?Marrying her off will surely backfire as the girl will continue with the same mentality as her mother who got married of in the same circumstances.
The chain needs to be broken at a point and I am glad we did it.

That man with special needs holds no blame but the girls parents who failed in their parental upbringing.

Born2Breed:


Oh! underage and she is a nursing mother? Who is the father of the child? Please move away from that provincial and tribalistic mindset.

That man with special needs could be 19yrs old.

too much over sabi. the girl does not even look sad. moreover, 10yrs age gap is not an abuse. he is just 25

OK.

Create industries in the villages. All these nonsense stories is because we industrialise the cities and forget to develop the villages. People are jobless there and doing stupid things.

crisycent:


Meanwhile, we have some kings(make i no mention names) who are close to their graves but are still marrying 16 year old girls.

God bless your knowledge.

If only our country were to be a place where dreams are made would such ever happen to a human being.

A girl child sold off by hee parents just because she had a child outside wedlock and the parents are poor. Meanwhile, the man responsible for the girls predicaments is roaming about free, ready to wreck another.

No governnent to fall back on at a time like this.
In some other countries, that child would be governments responsibility to ensure she never lacks the basic necessities of life to grow up into a normal happy person with all the opportunities open to her.

Now they have returned back to the same parents that sold her off. Wont they subject her to another round of problems?. If I have my way I would suggest the state government take over her child while the girl child mother be allowed to go to school, maybe she can make something out of her life. So sad indeed in this 21st century someone would be sold of against his or her consent.

But doesn't it bother you she has a child at 15

Having a child at 15 does not mean she should be condemned to a life of burden! Don't forget whoever is the father of her child, defiled her and which on its own is a criminal case because she is not of the age of consent.

Did Genevieve Nnaji not have her child as a minor, if her parents had married her off then as punishment without giving her another chance at life, will the world have experienced "Lion Heart" and the revenue it has brought to the Nigerian economy?

If they were not exploiting the girl's present circumstance, why did they not go for a lady who is above 18 and without a child?

Why did the family of the special needs man not go for a lady above 18 and without a child?

A man with such special needs a wife who is an adult to be his care giver not a minor!

Since it happened in the south, didn't you see everyone speaking against it and have even returned her to her parents?

If it was in the north won't you all support it? When Senator Yerima married a 13year old, didn't you people support him? Wasn't it Southerners that spoke against it?

AMvanquish:
If this was to happen in the North, we for no hear word.

why u no arrange ur daughter or sis to marry such man yeye !

This is a welcome development.

[quote author=haladadon post=75373092]

what's wrong with the man?
you are biased.

he has downs syndrome doesn't mean he's mad.
stop all this things.

was it because of hunger that led the parents to give out their child to him?[/quote

are you blind or daft to know that that girl is under age?

Did I just hear 25 years old. Make una fear God ooo.

Oga the story went viral because minor was involved. Everyday people with disabilities get married and it doesn't get criticisms cuz no minors were involved.

martineverest:
exactly the same thing dat came to my mind...I don't support underaged marriage.but that lady look older than 18 and he story went haywire because the man has down syndrome,which is discriminatory.

the '16 year-old and out-of-wedlock baby' story was formulated to hide the discriminatory attitude towards the down syndrome man

so because she got pregnant at a tender age means she should be condemned with such man with mental health issues why u no go marry am or u ask ur sister or daughter to marry him

Born2Breed:
The girl is a nursing mother, who got pregnant at a tender age and the man with special needs decided to marry her despite her condition.

The man did no wrong, infact both of them are doing each other favour.

SEONaijaExpert:
Very impressive to see this happen.

No girl child should be sent out of the house or be sold just because of poverty.

No girl child should be abused or be made a scapegoat because of lack of money.

A girl child is not an avenue to make money.

I'm happy she's back to her parents and I hope the same people that made this move would also clamour for some sort of financial support for the family.

I wonder; does she look happier before or after?
Anyway, I hope she appreciates the importance of what has been done for her and her daughter.

Social media is a saviour and has saved this underaged kid the trauma of being married to a much older man.

no slay queen will marry the downs syndrome guy.

note: a down syndrome guy can look older than his age.

True, the guy deserves to love and be loved. However, the girl is still a minor. When she turns 18 they can get married and live happily ever after.

Isn't it prudent for this people to first find out who impregnated her in the first place. If she's too young to get married obviously she's too young to give birth.

They should act now please.

adenine02:

It does but she can be established in something or sent for a skill acquisition. She's too young to understand marriage and not even in the condition and age of the man she was married out to. It's pitiful.

A nursing mother, who got her pregnant?So are parents are alive ? Where are they in all this drama? Nigerians with over sabi syndrome and the quickness for fame just jumped into her life to disturb her life. If non of these questions is answered,then social media over sabi is what you guys are doing. Over sabi sabi people.

Good news. We are the way we are because we tolerate ABOMINATION.

God bless the wonderful souls who rescued the poor little girl.

Can we please have her account number another day?
