Miss Nigeria takes campaign against child marriage to Reps

at Tuesday, July 23, 2013


Miss Nigeria Akudo Ezinne Anyaoha plans to petition the House of Representatives over child marriage.
The Law graduate of Abia State University, Uturu will present a petition, in which she describes child marriage as a violation of human rights.
She said: “These children are not prepared for the tedious demands of marriage and family life. Supporting underage marriage will keep relegating the girl-child to the backgroundand will also reduce her chances of being educated to liberate herself.
“Child marriage perpetuates poverty and leads to poor health as children will not only be withdrawn from their peers but will also have psychological trauma and physical challenges, such as Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF).”
The beauty queen, who in the next few weeks will launch herpet project, said she is determined to use her office to fight sexual violence.
According to her, child marriage is not only harmful to the girl-child but also to the family, community and the nation, because it stifles development.
Miss Anyaoha urged Nigerians to unite against child marriage.
“This is the right time for all well-meaning Nigerians to come out and speak against this shameful act. This is because it will go a long way to derail the current Transformation Agenda of the current administration and subsequently place the Nigerian girl far behind her peers across the world.
“I want to urge the House of Representatives to follow the path of honour by rejecting this particular clause during their clause-to-clause consideration of the amended part of the constitution,” she added.

THAT YERIMA IS A BAD EGG IN NIGERIAN POLITICS. I can still remember how he introduced sharia law in Zamfara state. Most of the victims of his wickedness are moving about with short sleeves and long sleeves. HE, A SLAVE MASTER IS MOVING ABOUT WITH HIS WHOLE BODY. TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GIRL CHILD MARRIAGE AND KIDNAPPING. Stealing money or material thing and forcing a little girl into marriage, which one deserves stiffer punishment? Thieves were amputated under sharia law. YERIMA SHOULD BE CASTRATED EQUALLY FOR GIRL CHILD MARRIAGE. Tit 4 tat. I THINK THIS CALLS FOR THAT HIS-GIRL CHILD WIFE TO BE INTERVIEWED AND POSSIBLEY BE DELIVERED FROM HIM.
