  1. lt is not surprising that the senators from the North voted for child molestation called child marriage. Northern Senators and muslims are known to be child mosleters. What of Yerima and co? A 60year old marrying a 13year old?
    It has been proved finally that our senators are a bunch of child molesters, abusers, pedophiles, hypocrites, no-gooders and evil personified.
    God will destroy all these future-destroyers.
    If you want a better Nigeria, type AMEN.

  5. ha ha! interesting to see all the god would punish statements etc. Yerima said its his culture.so he has a right!
    since Nigeria has decided to become international and want to be respected globally you cannot take and decide only what you think you want willy nilly?????Nigeria does not want to accept “pressure” from the international bodies they are part of to respect human rights, do you think they would respect the rights of children???
    Nigerians always use church and culture to say “gay” people have no rights and its against their culture and the bible or their religions and various gods!,..IS this not the same bible you read where many men had several wives and some even married chiLdren????
    so live with it,..as much as I am against this pointless law or amendment which has been polemic in male dominated power crazed houses both in Ghana and Nigeria… people deserve what they get.
    every one has a right to be protected under the law,children,women,gay ,straight, etc.
    as soon as it hits home Nigerians are the first to hold up the bible, god and culture! Smacks of typical self righteous sanctimonious attitudes of Nigerians!
