Older Men Marrying Underage Girls In The Northern Nigeria by NoLotty7(m): 11:37pm On Jan 08, 2021
What's the fate of young girls marrying older men from the north after the their husbands died few years into the marriages?
Are they going to be married to the men even after death without remarry again.And talk of remarry,do northern men marry these ladies after they might have spent some years out of their young age with their previous husband before his demised?
Seeing this topic below prompted me to write about the above questions

In the north, most widows remarry. In a polygamous culture, widows and divorcees are easily absorbed back into matrimony.

That's to say,most of these ladies consider their first marriages as something temporary because of the husbands age that may not last more than a decade before they are remarry again,yawn.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

I haven't really seen that many older men marrying much younger women. It's only that it usually makes news whenever it happens. In any case, it matters little. All marriages are temporary. Eventually, one or the other will always die; or they might decide to divorce. Have you seen a couple married forever?

resent the class in inter-house sport competition. What they lack in intellectual analysis, they make up in physical hardiness. They are usually in majority. Left thinkers make great class captain because they are academically ahead.


This classification expands to the larger society Right thinkers usually top in illiteracy, Polio infection and poverty. Their top values are :
https://tobechispeaks./2021/01/04/left-and-right-thinkers/


Dress code for women. Blasphemy laws confiscating alcoholic drinks. Cattle Rearing. Underage marriage.

The left thinkers are concerned about making lives better. Their top values are:

Breaking up /restructuring. Improving the economy persistent ASUU strike. improving policing and security High cost of living.


A right thinker
Left thinkers are willing to push aside tradition and scriptures to advance a goal. Right thinkers would prefer to remain stagnant to deviating from scriptural and traditional belief. The right thinkers are looking at making under aged child legitimate voters. The bill may be passed into law eventually as right thinkers have more population among the legislature. The left thinkers would rather ban underage marriage. Unlike left thinkers, Religious belief play a major role in the decision-making of right thinkers . Right thinkers are unwilling to consider scientific study of the harm done on the girl child as a result of early pregnancy as long as her religion approves of such. They would rather stone the messenger and destroy his findings. Right thinkers shifts scripture when it does not align with reality.

The right thinkers contribute less to the regional revenue and are more in number. Their numerical advantage gives them an advantage during election. They tend to rule left thinkers. When right thinkers rule, left thinkers feel marginalized. When right thinkers rule, left thinkers feel marginalized. An external body might be needed to bridge the gap but the right thinkers rigidity makes it difficult. A doctor might be needed to divide the duo but the leftist would not want that either. We have a serious matter in our hands. We have to be careful, so It does not lead to uprising in the future.
