kenben:
The hypocrisy here is coming from the speaker and all northern leaders who have refused to tell their people the truth but continue to hide under religion and ethnicity bigotry to manipulate their people. OR IS IT NOT THE SAME RELIGION THAT IS PRACTICED IN THE UAE?

JAWBONE:
There is no shifting goal posts.
The girls are being married simply because they are orphans.
If the speaker had relatives among those orphans, he would not allowed them to be married that way.

In Kano, their Hisbah commission married off some people months ago and nobody cared.
This case looks more like an auction than a marriage

Tonitoniton:
Until the girls speak up in unison, ur defense and the sweet story line from the speaker wouldn't hold water

Let's hear what the Nigeria constitution said and not what ur imam said

JAWBONE:
The girls consented to the marriage because that is the only option that was thrown in their face. That is not consent.
100 orphaned girls were individually interviewed and they all agreed to marriage because that is what the speaker told them they would do for them.

Were they given other options? I don't think so.
Also have they met these men previously and discussed marriage with them?
What about pre-marriage medical checkups? Are the men financially capable of marrying them?
or would they just be auctioned off to the men on the day of marriage.
What is the level of education of the girls?
Many questions must be asked before you throw them into something as serious as marriage.
The Speaker said he was marrying them off to alleviate their poverty.
That is a very stupid reason to give. Their are many other ways to help them alleviate poverty

JAWBONE:
Let the girls speak for themselves. They are not commodities to be bought and sold.
If they are adults already, it still doesn't mean they want to be married.
Marriage is between two CONSENTING ADULTS.

Also their plights as orphans should not be the factor for their marriage. Throw them into homes where they would become glorified sex slaves and child bearing machines.
If the girls do not have an education or a vocation, that should be paramount.
Unless the girls themselves decide that marriage is all they want, they should be given the freedom to choose their path in life.

Tonitoniton:
Did u hear from any one of them urself or just speculations?

Tonitoniton:
U think say northern nigeria na ur mate. Mohamad laws reigns supreme up here in the north , the Nigeria constitution is for u people in the south, kachiquo!?

Orathird:
But did he do the right thing?

Did he apply when he supposed to apply?

gidgiddy:
If Nigeria breaks up, its likely that the Igbos of Bendel will leave with their kith and kin in the East

seyimailbox:
Farming season has started, he should formulate policies that will encourage teeming youth to go back to farming rather than the cheap labour they offer in firms and schools. The type of encouragement, Buhari advanced for his normadic kinsman, give youth land, plough it and give them seedlings and chemicals, they will deliver.
Youth should also see sense in agbado and cassava as the way forward. Any job, you do that pays less than ₦200000 per month is a cheap labour whether government ori private

KonTagiousBull:
But at that it will bark and attract people.

The dog was killed before hanging or the gate was locked so nobody could save it

joelison:
He should ask his neighbours

tiswell:
What sort of entitled mentality is this?

Topman7:
Is Senegal a federal republic?

I didn’t know that..

superCleanworks:
Imo state governor is on his bed.

Originalsly:
Really? .. let's say they do. What's their source of income to repay the loan and maintain the projects? If you noticed.... their projects are pretty much non profits .... but require a lot to operate. I'm almost sure they're feeding off the prison budget.

Can that happen in Southern Nigeria?

God1000:
What a remarkable feat.


At the age of 17 in Nigeria, you are still in secondary school preparing for WAEC and NECO

I hope Russia is in alignment, otherwise, you need to route through Chad as Niger will just be watching.

Secondly, Senators and reps from SE should start demanding 50% resource control now, otherwise, let the pipes carry air.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
17 years only?

Mbanda:
But you are here supporting what the military did in okuama somehow.

Mbanda:
The bandits ( as you put it) are from where?

Ok, what of in SE where unknown gun men will come from nowhere and kill army. The next thing that will happen is the military going to the village and it's surroundings (where the killing of the soldiers took place) and start killing people in hundreds and raising houses and shops down. And you people will be on nairaland, Twitter and other social media platforms cheering the army for killing the innocent.

Now the same thing has happened in the north and your here shifting the goal post. Is that not hypocrisy and double standard?

Mbanda:
The terror gang that killed the military in kaduna is from where? If you said Okuama youths were the ones that killed the military, isn't it obvious that, it was kaduna youths that killed those military men.

Mbanda:
Did the okuama people join hands with the killers of the soldiers, in committing such atrocious act? You are now calling it of points and attention seeking because it happened in the north this time. Had it being it happen in the east will you be saying this rubbish?

Make una keep shifting the goal post, and after doing that una shout "one Nigeria".

SoNature:
Who doesn't know that the way the military addresses issues in the South is different from that of the north?

Drop this argument because defending military strategies and operations this context makes you look dumb.

In fact, remove Smarty from your moniker and keep only Pants because there's nothing smart about the person behind this moniker

viodemus:
Nigeria does not have 250 ethnicities. Some of those claimed ethnicities are different dialects claiming ethnicity. While of course, they are some different ethnicities. If we really investigate them, we will find out that the tribes are less than 20 or max at 25. So who are we deceiving?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
stop shifting the goalpost. Answer the damn question.
