chimerase2: Ondo Senator Apologises For Voting In Support Of Child Marriage Bill

He emphasised that as a true Yoruba man, he wouldn’t have intentionally voted in support of child marriage.

No Pal, YOU ARE NOT A TRUE YORUBA MAN!

*"True Yoruba men" have a deep sense of self-respect.
*They dont act before they think (that is for Eediots like you)
*They ALWAYS stand by their actions (Not like a flip-flopper like your disgraceful self)
*True Yoruba men dont support evil, like you did ...
...(ofcourse, we know that MONEY changed hands and you sold your soul to the devil)
*After all said and done, A TRUE YORUBA MAN will stand up for his actions, defend it and die by it.

If you still think you have any shred of "YORUBA" in your veins, .. (as opposed to an "Omo'ale" which you appear to be)..
...YOU WILL RESIGN AND VACATE YOUR SENATORIAL POSITION as a sign of remorse for your disgrace to your family name.!

But l guess the criminal "omo'ale" in you will not even allow you to do the honorable thing which a "True Yoruba man" would have done.

You, Mr. AKIN AKINYELURE, is a disgrace to the Western Nigeria, a DISGRACE to the proud people of ONDO STATE and an eternal disgrace to your family name, AKINYELURE!
We disown you completely.
Omo'ale!

chimerase2: Ondo Senator Apologises For Voting In Support Of Child Marriage Bill


The Senator representing Ondo Central Senatorial District, Ayo Akinyelure has apologised for voting in support of the child marriage bill.


The Senator representing Ondo Central Senatorial District, Ayo Akinyelure
The people of Mr Akinyelure’s Senatorial District on Monday staged a peaceful protest in Akure, the State Capital against the voting of the lawmaker representing them in the Senate for supporting the child marriage bill.

Summoned by the constituents to a meeting held at the Cultural Centre Auditorium, Akure, which is also the Senatorial headquarters, Mr Akinyelure regretted the act and apologised to the people, explaining that he cast the vote in error.

He emphasised that as a true Yoruba man, he wouldn’t have intentionally voted in support of child marriage.

He said there is still hope in correcting the situation as the bill will still be passed at the House of Representatives and the States Houses of Assembly.

The Women Leaders of Labour Party in the six local government areas in the senatorial zone who spoke on behalf of the women condemned the support of the bill which she described barbaric.

Massive protests have greeted the Senate’s passage of a resolution to retain the provision of Section 29 (4) (b) of the 1999 Constitution. Under the section, a married underage girl is deemed to be an adult.

Prominent Nigerians and human right organisations took to the social media to protest what they described as legalisation of sexual abuse of underage girls.

The protests were held in parts of the country on Saturday such as Abuja and Lagos among others. Also, petitions were signed to protest the law.

The protesters might besiege all state Houses of Assembly and the National Assembly on Tuesday to call on the Senate to reverse itself.

Those who protested queried why underage Nigerians could not exercise their franchise at the poll but were being subjected to marriage at tender age.

Ajibel: Its either voodoo was used on him or his palms were greased that made him "cast in error"

Arosa:
How could anyone in their right mind make such a terrible argument? What you have written does not make any sense whatsoever.

Child marriage can lead to medical problems in females (e.g. incontinence) and even death because young girls are forced to give birth when their bodies aren't ready. Not to mention the psychological consequences.

Gay couples, on the other hand, are in a consenting relationship, they are not forced into it and therefore carry responsibility for any consequences of that relationship.

Customs such as child marriage are outdated, dangerous practices that have only persisted because those who advocate it are ignorant. What is your excuse??

Hezron Lorraine:


Another funny thing is most Nigerians are hypocrites.when this same Senate passed the Same-sex marriage Prohibition bill,everyone was rejoicing praising that odious act,[/b]they all pointed fingers at gay people forgetting the remaining fingers goes back at them.Now they are haunted back their high moral mindedness,then we all remember to call the foul.

[size=28pt]PRESS RELEASE BY SENATOR AYO AKINYELURE.[/size]
childnotbride, nigeria, child bride, child marriageI, DISTINGUISHED SENATOR Dr. AYO AKINYELURE,FCA representing Ondo Central at the upper Chamber of the National Assembly, hereby wish to make the following clarifications on the above subject- matter to correct the wrong
allegations of VOTING INFAVOUR OF 'UNDER AGE MARRIAGE' as widely reported in the PUNCH NEWSPAPER of July, 20th 2013 on Pages 9-11. Which has now been subjected to various interpretations.

What the Senate considered for determination under the review of Nigerian Constitution was RENUNCIATION OF CITIZENSHIP UNDER THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION.

THE QUESTION BEFORE THE SENATE FOR DETERMINATION WAS WHETHER A CLAUSE WHICH PROVIDES THAT "a married woman is deemed to be of full age to renounce her CITIZENSHIP OF FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA SHOULD BE RETAINED OR BE DELETED?

Section 29(1) of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria provides that "Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the RENUNCIATION"

The question before the SENATE FOR WHICH I VOTED I INFAVOUR WAS THAT A MARRIED WOMAN IS DEEMED TO BE OF FULL AGE TO RENOUNCE HER NIGERIAN CITIZENSHIP.

THIS IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM VOTING IN FAVOUR OF 'UNDERAGE MARRIAGE' as now widely reported in the Media to blackmail Senators of FRN that believed in peaceful co-existence of Nigeria as a Nation.

I wish to EMPHATICALLY MAINTAINED THAT, I NEVER VOTED INFAVOUR OF UNDERAGE MARRIAGE AS WRONGLY REPORTED IN THE MEDIA. WHAT I VOTED FOR WAS THAT " a married woman is deemed to be of full age to renounced her citizenship of FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA as entrenched in the CONSTITUTION SINCE 1999.

This implied that RENUNCIATION OF NIGERIAN CITIZENSHIP IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM AGE OF MARRIAGE OF
NIGERIAN CITIZENS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, I SUBMITTED THIS
CLARIFICATIONS TO THE WHOLE NIGERIA AND THE WORLD AT LARGE, THAT MY PEOPLE IN ONDO CENTRAL AND GOVERNMENT OF ONDO STATE DID NOT SUPPORT UNDER AGE MARRIAGE IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS.

LONG LIVE ONDO CENTRAL SENATORIAL DISTRICT

LONG LIVE ONDO STATE GOVERNMENT

LONG LIVE SENATE OF FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

Distinguished Senator Ayo Akinyelure,FCA
Chairman, Senate Committee On Ethics,
Privileges & Public Petitions
