The minister has done well she should leave those subhumans to live the way they want before they will easily turn it to tribal and religious crises in nigeria which they are very good at. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Tonitoniton: The speaker has come out to clarify the situation. I wonder, by the way, whether you heard from any of the ladies before you swallowed the initial story hook line and sinker. Did you? Even the original report did not as much as quote any of the girls, which is just the basics of good journalism. So how did you believe them? Learn to be fair and reasonable. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Exousiang01:u r a fool. the decision of the speaker is not the best solution to the problem. why not pass a law for the state govt to build the capacity of those girls by giving them vocational skills and a little capital to start a business in order to make dem self reliant? marrying dem off will only create more problems and of course serve their future political interest durin elections. 3 Likes 1 Share |

In the first place the issue was clearly beyond her scope as a minister. I believe she is still living in the excitement of being appointed a fed minister. The other time she was trying to unilaterally resolve a communal problem in kd state without the input of the state govt. She actually needs to calm down and reduce her obvious hyperactivity, or else she should bid her 2nd term bye. |

SmartyPants: 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. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

JAWBONE: I have clearly stated that the speaker said the girls consented to the marriages. It is not for you miles away to declare an alternate reality when you have no such facts. And that makes the minister's conduct all the more difficult to understand because if anyone is in a position to get the true facts, she is! Minna is a 2-hour drive from Abuja, so if she had sincere concerns, I would expect that she or members of her team would have been on the ground to satisfy themselves that the whole episode is being conducted in line with the principles of human rights enshrined in our Constitution. Having failed to do so, she had absolutely no reason for filing her suit and you have absolutely no reason to allege that there is a lack of consent involved in the marriages. 1 Like 1 Share |

The northern Nigeria is not as chaotic and confused as the southeast where the minister hails from. Don't try to force them to embrace your way of having your ladies prostitute around instead of getting married. 1 Like 1 Share |

Exousiang01:So the government of Niger State don't have plans for people whose parents died due to banditry? Or let's just say street children? Continue supporting irresponsible government. It will soon come to you. Even mad people are being taken off the street in so many other states to care homes let alone orphans.......... That action of the state speaker is even more irresponsible. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nbotee: TOPCRUISE: LMAyedun: Since they are not forced. All of them already have suitors, just that the expenses will be paid by third party as usually the case. And this is by far better than south south and south east where girls of the same age categories are being held captives in baby factories and kept in perpetual bondage. Many are even labelled "witches", had nowhere to go and took shelter in baby factories disguised as "orphanage homes".

SmartyPants: 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 3 Likes 1 Share |

lailo:That is not the state government, that is the speaker. The question you should be asking is what is this minister of women affairs doing for the women in the area, she has done nothing, personally this guy is just trying to get them off the streets, at least he is looking in their direction something the minister never did. If you read my comment without sentiments you will see when I said his solution might not be the best but it atleast gets the girls off the streets and out of harms way. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye Withdraws Orphan-Marriage Suit Against Niger Assembly by SmartyPants(m): 1:36pm On May 17 |
JAWBONE: All this shifting of goalposts by asking jamb questions makes no sense. These are adults, not kids. Adults make all sorts of decisions every day. Do you go to peoples' weddings to ask all those jamb questions?? The essence of being a consenting adult is that you are entitled to your own reasons for choosing marriage, whether as a poverty alleviation scheme as is common all over Nigeria, or for any other reason. Are they of full mental capacity? Did they consent? If yes, mind your business instead of inventing false reports. |

SmartyPants: ^^^ Again, fair points that can't really be argued with. The federal commissioner put the cart before the horse. After kicking up a firestorm in the press, she now says she wants to investigate whether those women are of age. ![]() She should have done her 'due diligence' before coming out with all guns blazing. |
