54 year old marries an 18 year old .... WTF

Tell me any society in the world where it is prohibited for 54yr old to marry 18yr old. Sanusi has done nothing wrong.

D girl na 18 an adult and her family agree so there aint nothing wrong lol. All dis hypocrites wey de shout for here na dem de disvirgin all d small small girl for there area lolz God de watch una...

doublewisdom:
An 18 year old is not too bad.

Not too bad for a man how old?

kobonaire:
Saying people should live the times of the bible shows how backward your mentality is ... there is no need to live some aspects of the life of people in the "holy books" given that those were traditions over 500 years old. Jeeez when will people ever develop??

So then those trying to be like Jesus and live righteously in modern times are backward. Is this so

It is certainly not prohibited and Mr Sanusi has done absolutely nothing illegal ... it is just very backward when it is very widespread practice among the northern Nigerian society. It is a culture that needs to develop with the times.

What backward mentality?

The Emir did good. But I guess the brainwashed pro European numpties would take issues.

But leave the couple/family alone and stay in your lane.

kobonaire:
Again, al-Andalus is from a Medieval time .... please upgrade your thinking to modern day times ... or maybe you should extend your "rules" to allow women to marry 4 husbands ...

Only Islamic extremists behead in 2015.

Not my rules and certainly any human but GOD'S and the point am trying to drive with the people of Al andalus( thank for the correction by the way.) is they followed the strict laws of GOD in accordance to their development during there time and if we can follow that, then we wld have a near perfect world knowing fully well we cannot have a perfect world. You call a somebody that quietly kills lots of people in the name of Jesus. Serial killer but a Muslim that kill due to his lack of understanding in the name of Islam an extremist. Pls they are all extremist known to exist in the world.
The Good book of GOD explain people like them to exist. There worshipping of GOD makes it seem like your doing nothing and don't love GOD. And it also says that people like them are not suppose to hold leadership position because of there extreme nature and hot temper. May GOD increase our understanding

OPCNAIRALAND:

You follow the morals of his teachings .... not the lifestyle of those times... there is a distinct difference.
Nowadays, in modern society, you jail thieves for theft.... or do you propose that their hands get cut off??

Akainzo:


People like you give Christianity a bad name. I suggest you read the Bible very well and pay attention to the ages that the women were being married off.

While at it, pay particular attention to how many Prophets had more than one wife.

Nothing says your way is the only way, let other people practice their beliefs and cultures, practice yours!

Thanks for your astute post.

But for Islamic injuction, I would have commented my reserve!

My friend, this is purely biological before religious.

ZUBTECH:


@SeverusSnape go down d whole of southeast and south south especially,it almost impossible to find a decent or a virgin girl as u guyz don finish them all with Bleep,most of them 16 ,18,19 all looking 28, 30,35 due to 2much Bleep, Yet u open your mouth to insult the northerners who better still manage these girl in d umbreella of marriage to save guard their social diginty,u guys knw nothing but use and dump, chop and clean mouth no even consideration of the future of your girls. Mr backward mentality, u rather have them as intimacy gadgets (use and dump) than reason marriage matters

On point.

My observation over the past two weeks is that the innocence of youth is gone, mostly.

Ilekeh:


Dayuuuuuummmmm

Have no idea what dat means.

tobtap:
pedophile

is she a child? Think well again

Look at this very young girl during Biafran war....she is nursing two babies, probably a year apart in age. This was over 40yrs ago. Then compare with that of baby factories that abound everywhere in SE and you realize that baby factory is not a new thing in Iboland....its a tradition of the society. Is there any code that forbids a degreed, well educated man from impregnating these girls, or are there age limits for the studs employed to plant sperm? Likely No! Morover, a stud might be passed around multiple girls for scaled economy.

Similarly, the Northerners have a tradition which allows parents to give their daughters to older spouse. It has nothing to do with education or constitution.

Women are not properties like cows one can amass anyhow. At 18 probably when the Emir is 80 the poor girl will perhaps be 38, hmmm, where is the energy to play the games with the children she will have, oh Laws have mercy. . I can't blame it on Islam because I still know some very rich Muslim contented with one wife and living happily.
If people will hide under the cloax of religion to mortgage the happiness and future of young ladies in this country I think the so called women lawyers can start from here
Some of these young ladies have no say as they were not empowered to think, imagine straight put Pf secondary school. I have a niece whose 18 just getting into the university and I can just imagine some 68yr old coming to marry her gosh its even disgusting to imagine but that's the way some people have been designed.
Please women deserve a life, they need to enjoy a healthy love relationship and marry their friends not imposed as gift or sacrifice to some deity. Treat women right in the North please all this Yerima practices is backward and limits the progress of women. Now I'm sure that ones education is automatically truncated. It is well.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

You had no chance, really.

can u tell me what is wrong with d marriage??

temitemi1:
Northerners with so many negativity

that zone is a cursed land

Simitrendy:
Another Senator Yerima.. I thought this Emir is educated now 18 year old girl now a housewife OMG. so she WL prolly give birth at least 19.. Northern people should stop this gullible behavior its irritating. My opinion tho. The girl is supposed to be in school, That's why their children start causing commotion because they lack western education. The age limit for marriage should be 24 and above. Its so sad that a educated man like SLS would do this. BTW I'm looking for LadyF and Introvert.

nonsense! 18 years is legal for marriage. May be u lack comprehension. Dat girl is still going further in her education. So what is d problem

kobonaire:

C'mon dude...please tell me how this prevalent practise is backward. In fact when you say develop with times....thats relative!

It is very common knowledge in America that men above 50s and 60s lay everyday with girls just barely out of high school. If you dont find them in stripjoints you find them in dark alleys in downtown and midtown and uptown in their provocative "moneymaker" outfits.

....and America is very very developed, is it not?

duality:


mallam .. no vex just that the emir may not find it funny if people will react to him marrying a minor.

there's a possibility of him inflating the age.

BUT I congratulate him. But these old men should free there girls for young men na....

did dey tell u they have scarcity of young girls? Here in d south, how do we take care of our own.

Those of u condemning here, u chop dem and clean mouth.

Hypocrites

Billygee2u:

u are just saying rubbish. I don't see how better our southern axis is better compare to d north. Here, d boys or men do worse.


Shebi no be chop and clean mouth dem dey do.. How many u done marry or dose useless men dey marry. It is a common knowledge dat men here in d south run after secondary school students.

All dese are hypocrisy

It's their religious practice and if it's not repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience then they are free to practice it.

Senseless post....
You grew up to know that it's one wife and nothing more, Sunusi grew up to know that it's maximum of four wives, so what is your prove on forward and backward mentality. I got irritated by your post
