I do not have an issue with a culture that permits an 18 year old to get married since she is considered an adult (even though in my personal opinion age 18 is adulthood for an american or a European, not an áfrican. The growth and maturity levels are quite different. A 24 year old áfrican is only as developed as an 18 year old european. Yes adulthood should be 24 in africa) However what I do have a problem with is when the suitor is 40 Years older. Why can't the so called 18 year old adult be married off to a 23 year old man? Imagine 54 versus 18! How do you justify this?

They were not violated as children they are ashewo and runs girls, they do it for the material gains thereof.
The age at which one is allowed to marry is 18yrs , and where consent is present any two individuals irrespective of age can marry, You failed to tell me the age gap between Bianca and Odimegwu Ojuku.

Many idiots just want to shout and rant online with this child not bride issue, how old was Omotola Jelade when she was wed, her husband must be at least 8 years older than herself, what have you to say of that. Sincerely if people married off earlier in life maybe we would have less of these issues of sexual immorality among young people.

Lamido is old enough to father that young girl.
Was capt Ekeinde Old enough to father Omotola Jalade when he married her?
Have u ever read her story? Did u not come across the part where she said her mother objected to the marriage cos she considered it early. Thats is the difference, Omotola wanted it for herself, she went for it.

But in the case of this young girl, it is not like that. Am sure the consent they said the young girl granted to the marriage request was because she knew she can't really say no. We all know that a female child has no say in that part of the country.
Plus was Captain Ekeinde married to four wives and with gazillions of kids before marrying Omotola?

You can try to justify Emir's action with religion and culture, its fine. But its a mistake to compare it with Omotola's early marriage.

Paedophile na paedophile

Atlantian:


How can a man above 50yrs go naked in front of an 18yrs old girl. I am not up to 40yrs but I think I insult myself if I go naked in front of an 18yrs old girl. I will totally feel shame to even bring out my dicck for an 18yrs old to see.

Sanusi is a slowpoke. This has nothing to do with age of marriage or adult legal age. I just feel ashamed that a man fucckks a girl young enough to be his daughter or grand daughter. Does it mean that Hausa Islamism is different from Yoruba's own. At least Yoruba muslims marry plenty wives, but paedophilia is not their popular weakness.

Let me conclude with the following quote from a wise man:

"You can take a man out of abokiness, but you can never take away abokiness out of a man." - Billyonaire (2013)

The young lady in question gave her free consent and even after the
contract the wedding will not happen
for a few years. By then she may be 21.

If she freely consents to this I do
not know on what moral grounds
anyone has a grouse. She is an adult,
she gave her consent, and her
education is not being in anyway
interrupted.

The real issue is that people do not
accept cultural difference. And you
can see it in the approach to these
issues. I am supposed to be urbane
and western educated. Yes but I am
not European. I am a northern
Nigerian Fulani Muslim brought up in
a setting exactly like the one my
children are being brought up in.

If you read this and it improves your understanding of this issue that is fine. If it does not just remember it is not your life, it is not your daughter
and you are not my wife therefore it
is not your business.
