You must be one of the horny pedophiles desperately looking for justification for your randiness. Why don't you send your 7 year old daughter to marry Tinubu or one of the supporters of evil in Nigeria? Ewu awusa. I just pray this forced union with the north will break sooner than later.

This is legalizing Girlchild molestation in whatever context anybody views it.
Except marriage is no long to build a home, manageable girl age should be considered on the emotional strength and maturity of the girl's mind.
Also parents who come in contact with such pressure from any man on the girlchild should open up and call for the world's attention.
Thank you.

an extract of the section of the Nigerian Constitution that is being protested about:
'Chapter III
Citizenship


28. (1) Subject to the other provisions of this section, a person shall forfeit forthwith his Nigerian citizenship if, not being a citizen of Nigeria by birth, he acquires or retains the citizenship or nationality of a country, other than Nigeria, of which he is not a citizen by birth.

(2) Any registration of a person as a citizen of Nigeria or the grant of a certificate of naturalisation to a person who is a citizen of a country other than Nigeria at the time of such registration or grant shall, if he is not a citizen by birth of that other country, be conditional upon effective renunciation of the citizenship or nationality of that other country within a period of not more than five months from the date of such registration or grant.

29. (1) Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation.

(2) The President shall cause the declaration made under subsection (1) of this section to be registered and upon such registration, the person who made the declaration shall cease to be a citizen of Nigeria.

(3) The President may withhold the registration of any declaration made under subsection (1) of this section if-

(a) the declaration is made during any war in which Nigeria is physically involved; or

(b) in his opinion, it is otherwise contrary to public policy.

(4) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section.

(a) "full age" means the age of eighteen years and above;

(b) any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.'

lol, people and tribal matters. The so-called southerners that are talking, what have you not done to embarrass this country. Akwa IBOM witch craft cases, multiple fraud and immigration problems. To avoid been part of this "pointing hands" category, i shall rest my case about our differences. We have oil, this that, f*** you and your f**** wealth! go to hell, before oil who was feeding the country?! At least the richest black man is from the north! Just because you seem educated, you think the illiterates are a burden? Let me tell you, i am rich! and i have seen the world and I network with the best people and all they tell me are the negatives about our country, because you so called southerners are here abroad embarrassing us, which northerner has been deported? Whatever we do, we do it in our country. Ugly Mf**** Educated people do not stereotype, do not tag and label. They find a solution to things, today the only way we can move forward is to "accept our differences". If not we northerners are very brave, and not scared of our lives, we have suicide bombers, and cant compare with poplulation, we have land and when we go to war to fight for division, you think you southerners would be alive? stop this division shit and act civilized. Countries like the US, Uk with diverse backgrounds are doing well today, they accept diversity. We should start looking at ways to construct our laws that would aid unity, and avoid copying the western constitution, we aren't western! we were cut into a country during the colonial times! sudan is divided, but a quarter of the country has fled, dead... People disgust me.
P.S i dont support early marriage, i am half igbo/half fulani and fuck those uncivilized people!
unitenigeria!.. i hope linda publishes this.

It is time for all Nigerians to say NO to abnormalities that is being thrown in our faces. Our fathers have indeed eaten the proverbial sour grape and our teeth set on edge. Trully, our ship of state is in very rough seas.

Linda is making a change in her own little way. She is in Nigeria and not denying where she comes from.

What are you doing or have done to make that little change?

Ife initiate the petition(s).

Then we will sign.

I love the positive gains of social media. Hahaha.

Linda I haf sine my own o! Thanx for linking me to that petition. If some bearded old he-goats think they can get away with paedophilia under the guise of religion, just because they can't keep thier aged 'snakes' in their holes, then it's about time we started standing up some of these rotten excuses of lawmakers. I mean, like what the phoq?!
