rockbase360: I wonder how many nairalander's are proud to be a nigerian after reading about our dear senate. Don't you just love "your" country. If you spent one hour learning how the political system/process works, you wouldn't end up sounding so...thick. |

It is not to be contested that under age marriage should be abolished in our constitution, the fact that 60 senators out of 93 voted to remove the contensious clause from the constitution is commendable. The entire senate can therefore not be held responsible for their inability to expunge the 18 year clause from the constitution. My worry is that Stella has helped to confuse many Nigerians and had driven them away from the core issues. What are the bigger implication of this inability to remove the clause. 1. Women of any age ( whether 6 or younger) will be eligible to vote on the claim that they are married and by implication have become an adult. This will be to the advantage of the northerners where underage marriages are prevalent. This is a disaster on the horizon and another hidden agenda at achieving bloated election figures in the north. 2. Furtherance to this, the maturity or "full age" claim can be extended to the husband of the deemed "full aged" underage married woman. Northern men are known to marry at very young ages. It therefore bodices that if the wife is deemed to be of full age, same can be said of the husband. The law in question did not prescribe a marriageable age. What we should be asking for is the enforcement of the law that prescribes marriageable age in a Nigeria at 18 without parental consent and set a limit of marriageable age that requires parental consent as done in other climes e.g US. Also voting rights should be restricted to actual age and not the "full age" inference 1 Like |

I support early marriage for girls, "AS SOON AS SHE ATTAINS ADULTHOOD". It is strange how Nigerian youths waste their time and 'intellect' on social networks, displaying high level of ignorance sometimes. The new issue in town now is; "SAY NO TO EARLY MARRIAGE". For goodness sake, what is the problem if a man marries out his daughter(with her consent) soon as she is matured for that? Nobody is forcing anyone to allow his/her daughter to marry early, but those who want to, should not be prevented from doing that. Anyone can choose to keep his/her daughter till 35years, who cares! Today ASUU is on strike, you won't find them broadcasting it. ASUP just called off months old strike, no tongue sang about that, during the period. They are not flooding the social networks with the high level of looting and vast corruption in our country. Rather, the song they prefer to sing is 'give her education not ejaculation', 'pen not penis', 'school fees not bride price' etc. Now let us face it, how many of the girls in junior secondary schools can boast of being virgins, these are girls between the ages of 11 and 13 years. Worse off, is the case of their senior counterparts, in senior secondary schools, in facts it is very terrible at this stage, a livin proof is dat of a principal dat did virginity test for girls in her school. Then extremely worst for girls in higher institutions, in fact these ones are classical prostitutes. Yet these so called "human right activists" who lack the moral right to talk in public, are blind to all these societal menace. Who says a girl that marries early can't return to school after marriage? Why do Nigerians like to be gullible and follow laid down standards by some people(The west)? Standards that have failed over and over again in their countries. Why can't we just be ourselves, and set standards that will prevent immoralities rather than promote them? As a positively minded youth, I will never allow myself to be brainwashed or bullied into silence by anybody or group. I'm calling on all well meaning youths of this country to say: NO TO BAD GOVERNANCE, NO TO RECYCLED LEADERSHIP, NO TO FUEL HIKE, NO TO ASUU/ ASUP STRIKES, NO TO BOKO HARAM, NO TO CHILD AND MARTERNAL MORTALITY...... .......and several other reasonable NOs. Let us not be deceived by these so called hypocrites(" human right activists" who support fornication at young age in lieu of early marriage. Let's be wise!!! How many of us readin dis post are virgin? |

Fadelex: whenever an issue is mis-interpreted everybody wil be spilling what they dont know, the bill does not even legalize under-age marriage, the section amended was 29 sub-section 4b which But if u are literate enough, or rather, sensible enough, you should be able to note the salient point of contention in that clause. What is the hurry in teenagers giving up their citizenship? Teenagers who are supposedly married to who? Nigerian men! So u need a brainwash, my man. |

jcgodfrey:reason being that if your father is being hunted and he has renounce his own citizenship, the daughter is not of full age and her life is at risk, she may be given out in marriage to enable her renounce Nigeria citizenship as a pre-requisite to apply for asylum in some countries |

Pedophilia is permitted in the Qur’an, was practiced by Prophet Muhammad and his companions, and some Muslims today continue to commit the crime, following their prophet’s example. The Nigerian lawmakers have decided to follow suit by making us virtually an islamic nation with this despicable bill they just passed. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) defines pedophilia as a “disorder of adult personality and behaviour” in which there is a sexual preference for children of prepubertal or early pubertal age. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), it is a paraphilia in which adults or adolescents 16 years of age or older have intense and recurrent sexual urges towards and fantasies about prepubescent children that they have either acted on or which cause them distress or interpersonal difficulty.

Rossikk: I can see that your stupidity and your idiotic manners won't let u address an issue without raining abuses.well,its allowed.if u were literate,you'll approach a matter intelligently.the law was passed irrespective of a child's rights.You are as inhuman as your god-father Yerima.you have been brain washed and that is why you have refused vehemently to have a conscience.FYI,the university gives u a paper 2 certify ur literacy but they don't give u good manners and worthy traits.Those are given to urself by urself.my advice to you is 'Get a life'when you do,come back 2 NL and talk. |
