Let me first and foremost thank The Lord almighty, my savior and help for this award. Thanks also to Silverbird group the organizers of MBGN. Thanks to my Wonderful Husband, Capt Matthew Ekeinde,my support and Best friend who is also here tonight. I am Today one of the Most influential person/people in the world because I wasn't given off to marriage before the age of 18yrs.
It scares and totally shocks me that the Senate in Nigeria (the most populous black nation in the world and Giant of Africa) would not be passing in a law ensuring that every child should compulsorily be enrolled in school.A very alarming number of children today are on the streets Hawking or have been abused,Raped or are married to men/women who should be protecting them.
Who protects the children of Nigeria?
Would we wait for another Milala before we act?
Should we now remove the parental caution on movies that say " Not for persons below 18".
This is a call for justice and Equity for children especially the Nigerian Girl child,who has the right to quality education, a childhood and the decision of whom and when to marry.
My Name is Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and I say No to paedophilia and No to the senate Bill endorsing Child marriage in Nigeria.

Was so happy when she used the opportunity to lend a voice to this new struggle.
though she appeared disorganized and nervous initially but was able to drive home her point.
~HAPPY BDAY SIS~says so via NOKIA3310
God bless you Omotola...shame to those senators. I cover my face in shame on their behalf. I am totally disgusted. "Port Harcourt Girl."
Nice one omo T. Am Rough Diamond n I say No to underage marriage!
This is indeed a great speech from Omotola,I hope many will follow her footsteps and speak out against our lawmakers that make no profitable reforms for the Nigerian child.
My respect for this woman just increased
Reallly Nice!
This is encouraging
GOD BLESS YOU OMOTOLA
well said dear, all this Hausas should know that they are not the owner of Nigeria.
Gud one OMOTOLA.We re in support of U.
Really great..Thank You omotola
The underage marriage law is for sharia north excluding other region.they want to dictates to us but dont want us to control our resources"punkass"
Nice! Well said Omotola. The gov of Bayelsa is shameless. "I can see the reason why people call you omosexy." He said that while he presented the award to Omotola
I say no to underage marriage.
Does she really think she is one of the most influential people in the world?? I mean really? #deluded
Thank you Mrs Omotola-Jalade Ekeinde
Nice speech Omotola, You inspired alto of people n kids too.
God bless You n Your family forever
Whether he caught her at the age of 16 or at her birth; bottom line is,her parents didn't give her away until she was up to 18
Nice talk Omotola. The gov of Bayelsa is not resopnsible. While he presented the award to Omotola, he said to Omotola, (I can see the reason why people call you Omosexy). That should not be said from the mouth of a married man.
Nice one from Omotola....I say no too
Nice! Well said Omotola. The gov of Bayelsa is shameless. "I can see the reason why people call you omosexy." He said that while he presented the award to Omotola
With the death of Sen. Pius Ewehrido, one could have expected that the senate will as an urgent matter discuss the issue of the rate Nigerian are dieding because of the lack of Health insurance and good hospital, NO, they were busy making laws to make marriage a free for all, yes, it show the level oflack of interest on the Nigerian people
As a mother I join the teeming Nigerian women to say NO to this very shameful and barbaric bill on the gradual extinction of our babies. The judgement of the Almighty God will fall on these power drunk fools who want to use our girl children for their ritual purposes.
You're an idiot! How do you know so much about the details of her personal life? Are you jobless? Besides you said it yourself, she married at 18 even though she 'met him at 16' according to you. Please shut the fuck up if you have nothing decent to say.
Dee dee
Applause for omotola
I appreciate ur comments Omojesu.This insanity dt is plaguing the Senate will surely meet God's deliverance.
Dee dee,u ansa am well,idiot is just d right name
Omotola you made the Nigerian youth proud last night at the MBGN 2013. Thanks for the courage to speak up against that outrageous and disgraceful plan of paedophiles in the Nigerian senate. You were the only thing real at that paegent everthing else was fake
My Name is Omotola Oluwafeyisayo and I say NO to Paedophilia....way to go Name sake mii
this was perhaps the only real thing that happened @ dis event.... God bless u Omotola
Ps - the MBGN is rilly cute tho
No, oomtola shouldn't have given that speech. She started early with that her husband. She got pregnant @ 16 and later married. Her husband is no different from those mofos senators! She made a stupid mistake given that speech. Though she would say she consented to ave sex!
Funny how ol d kareems,addulLahi,amina dem hav suddenly stopd commenting?are they with or against ds law?do we take dia silence 4 concurrance?
TIDY ur sinful ways NOW
Linda stop hiding my comments! Oh puleeeez! Spare me d jargon! Abeg all ya talking should channel dis energy to more outrageous and destructive happenings in Our Country Nigeria.Its high time our youths wake up!its high time we say enough is enough! High time we send all dis power recycling old devious arm robber blood suckers packing!!!On Rethink; I support marrying out a girl "AS SOON AS SHE ATTAINS ADULTHOOD". Now am writing from common sense, because common sense is uncommon!
Nigerian Youths today are the MOST STUPID & IGNORANT set of individuals on earth. A bunch of STAGNANT IDIOTS with no will of moving forward (I do not mean to be provocative).
We waste our time on social networks creating confusion out of nothing.
Months ago it was the OGA @ THE TOP saga! Now its SAY NO TO EARLY GIRL MARRIAGE!
So what if a man decides to marry out his daughter early??? Nobody is forcing anybody to marry out his daughter early. You can decide to keep your Daughter Until 40 or even for a life time, nobody cares! After all you bedded your wife to have her.
Today ASUU is on strike NO youth is broadcasting about it. ASUP just called off months old strike, no tongue sang about it during that period.
When the Government is looting the country we are here pondering on who to marry out his daughter and who not to.
Singing the Gospel " Give the girl a book not a husband" "give the girl a pen not a penis". What if you send her to school and she chooses a boyfriend over her books? Or chooses a penis over her pen?
What if???
How many of you girls can confidently say "I'm a still a virgin from secondary through tertiary institution?
How many of you guys can say my girlfriend told me its pen over penis?
So please my fellow Nigerians, we should concentrate our forces to say:
NO TO BAD GOVERNANCE,
NO TO RECYCLED LEADERSHIP,
NO TO ASUU/ASUP STRIKE,
NO TO FUEL HIKE,
NO TO BOKO HARAM vs FG,
NO TO CHILD AND MATERNAL MORTALITY..... So many positive NOs to be said by us.
This is a wake up call to NIGERIAN YOUTHS.(Linda stop being annoying and post my comment!)
Omosexy u said it all. Jesuovieme says to
My name is Maryam and I say NO to underage marriage as well.
Omotola`s husband started sleeping with her at the age of 16,she got pregnant at the age of 17. Gave birth at the age of 18,so what the f**k is she saying? If u had sex before the age of 18 pls don't bother joining d #childnotbride campaign, we don't want hypocrites.
Pls if ur Sugar Daddy is as old as ur Father don't bother joining d #childnotbride campaign, we r already fighting 4 U .If u are sleeping with a girl not upto 17-18 years,pls don't bother joining d #childnotbride campaign, we don't want hypocrites
Linda pls post my comment.

U have said it all Omo and we hope the lawmakers will do something
That's not what we want and they passed it into law. Who are they representing? Their selfish and immoral indulgences. Was surprised to see dt an edo & a yoruba senator supported the bill... #ChildNotBride
Yo! That's my baby, go Omosexy.
Thank u for dat fight against early marriage.... D fight is for evry one, not just our celebs alone,.... All NGOs, private tv n radio stations,...
just for saying this, Omotola na better person abeg!gbam!
I weep for your ignorance. You are giving examples of people having consenting sex. Illiterate mtchew.
Monic....pls.say wat U̶̲̥̅̊ knw,cos l dnt knw whr. U̶̲̥̅̊ got all those info.4rm.*Ojimsclaxic*
Its human beings like you that cause problems in the world!!!...even if what you said here is true,does that make her message false??....even if she guilty of the so-called"offence",that's not what we are after...we are after the message,change,and the right thing........even if michelle obama made this speech,I'm sure u would av still found something"negative" to say.....
I wonder what is going to b the choice of those critics of early marriage btw a virgin girl of 17yrs and a disvirgined sexy model of 22 for Marriage...our celebrities too even have d audasity to criticize early marriage wen some of them are delivered kids by 19yr old girls...now to their concienses,"since wen have they started dating & having sex with those girls b4 it eventually led to pregnancy?...let it beat in U!!!
Well said! But u sef got into a man's house so early, just that he was supportive n encouraged n saw u tru school..
i believe we have all got it wrong with the issue of child marriage, the constitution and the amendment in question. I signed the petition after which i had to carry out some research of my own (which is what most media personnel ought to do).
The contentious provision, Section 29, allows citizens who are of age to renounce Nigerian citizenship if they wish. For that purpose, the constitution says, 18-years-old and above shall be considered to be “of age”.
In addition, a woman or girl who is married, shall also be considered to be of age-a section that could be interpreted to imply that even a day old child, once married, shall be considered to be of age.
so we are talking about a woman's right to renounce her citizenship at what age and marital status. we can say yerima's little bride can renounce her Nigerian citizenship.
This 'of age status" does not allow a girl child to vote or marry before she turns 18.
I kindly implore our talented writers, bloggers, journalist(esp this journalist who was quoted without verification) and other great minds in the mass media, to please help get reliable and verified facts to readers and viewers in other to avoid such confusion (since you guys bring the news to the palm of our hands). we Nigerians are not jokers, if you hit us with some this hard we are bound to react esp with our words.
To the Nigerian public officials who commented like she/he forgot the copy of the Nigerian Constitution in their drawer or didn't read the memo of the meetings that ought to explain what we need know, thanks for nothing.
We can still do some more research. God bless us.
You are just a bloody bastard
Thumbs up OMO SEXY...God bless u.great speech!
@least she sounds educated. Tnx omoT

My role model, u never dissapoint the trust I have in you. Truly, u are a mother. If the so called "Govt" av 4gotten their responsibilities, they better sit back and think of one dat will better the lives of Nigerians. Don't endanger the lives of our children!!!
I L♥√ع her speech...This Lady is so Blessed!!!
PRETTY GIRL
Omotola hasn't stopped to be so amazing this year! When God says its ur turn,everything wud turn around to favour u! Dats all
For the bayelsa govt that said he just realised why dey called her omosexy, well nothing for u o,go and face ur rigged miss MBayelsaGN.
Idiot!
U re a big fat fool, idiot were u dere wen her husby was sleepn wt her @ age 16? Animals like u re d problem nig has,
Because they made mistakes they shouldnt talk again and they should allow the nation to be destroyed by someonme like you criticizing,my dear u are one of the problems we have in this country!
BONARIO u'r absolutely correct cz i observed dt too.
Please do me a fovour give out your daughter whenever they ask of their hand in marriage ate age 13!
I fully support anonymous 7.30pm, Omotola does really have the moral justification to push this child marriage course, she too was snatched at a very young age and guess that's why she doesn't have a university degree.....let the real people push for this course and not just people craving for attention like Omotola
This is to reply anon 8:26 pm, with all ur constitutional rubbish, are u saying it is ok for a 13 year old girl to be married off, a child that is not yet developed? If NO then SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Am totally against dat nd i say a big NO to dat. Nice speech Omotola
Well done to Omotola for speaking up on this issue. I am proud of her for courage and sensitivity. God bless her. God bless Nigeria. May God prevail and protect our young girls.
Omo sexy at it again.why are we crying wolf? Truth be told I would marry off a sex crazed gal b4 she disgraces the family name.dats why I prefer omo sexy to Genevieve. If toto de sratch you go marry.GBAM
And yes to paedophilia....idiot!!!
Hmmm... It always feel great reading LIB blog and the comments. To be honest, we are our problem and we gave the power to this pple to implement all manner of LAWS/policies. We shouldn't select one over other. Human rights is human rights. When they passed a bill against Gay pple base on religion, we all celebrated them. I told my friend, supporting this bill mean we support all future bedroom laws. We gave them the power to implement all kind of rubbish law the moment they gain our support against human rights of sexual minorities. Having said that, it not just about this. Plz, plz, plz pple, we need to move away from social media activist. Don't let pple like Omojuwa lie to u, they are socialpreneur who make money from their daily tweet. Rather, let's put power in the goverment excess, that's where we should be speaking from. Our consitution itself is very problematic and with a lot of contradicting cluases. I am sure many of u shouting #Childnotbride don't even have the constitution or know the content. Move away from following the crowd and start engaging from intellectual point of view.
Well said my brother. Jobless Nigerians shld channel their energy to doing the correct thing !!! Child marriage is the least of our problems
Aboki,before you write think! And besides action speaks louder than words...if u ve a dauta give her out to yerima so he can defile her and dump her when she develops vvf....goat u think its by grammar!
Anonymous9:01, what are u say dat she is craving for attention, guess u don have anything 2 say so u better shut up. For ur iformation she is not craving for attention. She is saying de real thing. I gift say no 2 child not bride! Gift port harcourt
I thought so too! She had 2 cover ha boobs as he was almost drooling! Smh
I thought so too ! She had 2 cover her boobs as he was almost drooling! Smh
I have said my own and to those insulting me,pls go and chop shit. awon oloshi jati jati. Linda pls post my comment,let d fools read it
*monic*
I say no to child marriage too and also say no to polygamy! Using religious belief to justify these inhuman practices is just plain stupid.
Read between the line anom 9:06 the constitution doesn't say its legal to marry under 18yrs.
Well she is more influential than you are at this moment.
When we are governed by thugs and educated illiterates,this is the result.
Nice speech omosexy.
Nawa o
Nawa o
Shut up. It was her choice. Those underage girls do not have a choice. They are thrown into it.
Your comments are appalling.
18 and 19yrs is fine. Stop bring ignorant. Omo is right and like someone rightly said becos one made a mistake does not mean u can't stand against it.
Much ado about CHILDNOTBRIDE and so little energy put into protesting (if at all we protest) CHILD MOLESTATION, CHILD RAPE, CHILD PROSTITUTION, UNWANTED PREGNANCIES. The latter factors are 100 times more heinous than the former. It's like fighting for the ban of tabacco smoking and caring less about Indian-Hemp smoking. Some of us still have grandmothers at home alive today, both North and South. Some of them got married at 14 years. Were they forced into the marriages? Please go back to your villages and question your 80-90 year old sweet grannies before you embark on a fruitless campaign instead of focusing on pressing issues deteriorating our dear Nation.
Omotola considers herself one of the most influential people in the world???
Hmmm! Imagine how the Bayelsa Gov.shamelessly flaunted his erotic speech of admiration,for Omosexy "I can see why they call u Omosexy"...Niaja una no dey eva carry last for Misyannins(Lwkmd)
Monic, its either u are stupid or u re jus not tnking straight, please shut dat f**king hole in ur face,idiot.
Wrong person to make a comment about the issue. She got pregnant at 17 or 18 and didn't even officially marry till she had all her kids (which doesn't change the fact that she was already with with her husband).
Then one of the most influential person/people (she can't even decide on which grammar is right) mtshew. Influential ppl don't take acting roles in which they only make a muffled sound and in which they were not even credited for
Hope this thing am hearing is not true oooo, its quite unbelievable for govt to implement or brings abt such thing
You are a fucking bastard and I hope u rot in hell. Oloriburuko omo ale.
She is more influencial than ur generation past and future. Bloody fool.
U are a bloody bastard. She got married @ 18 and not 16 u bloody fool. Oloriburuku sumbody
Abeg who ask yhu
Wetin concern us
Chineke oooo Abeg no let dis blog collaspe wit ur stupidd english
U re a fool for sayn she's. Craving for attention she made er choice wen she was young nobody forced er to do wat she neva wntd so why re u lyk dis...I hate d way sum pple comment in lindaikeji's blog I knw sum of yhu will go to hell fire simply bcos u judge sum1...even if she made d mistake wen she was young must oda children make d same? Pls Y'll should tink b4 commenting
Dat cleo guy atyms postin as anon am stil askin in ur closets wat hv u done.bastard.plss giv ur child 2 yerima ad co 2 defile.perverted idiot
Funny ur mother gave birth to u. Fool
And am sure ur father is presently sleeping with u. U are obviously a product of a failed home. I can see the hate in u.u were there when they started sleeping with each other? Bloody foolish bastard
U are an ignorant fool. She is a graduate. Don't just open ur mouth to talk. It was genevive who had a child in secondary school and who refused to go to a higher institution. Don't mix them up. Mumu
Well said! Bt d issue is after saying all the 'nos' has anything changed? Have dey stopped making things harder for people? I suggest this is d tym for each of us to make amendments in our personal lives and seek God's ways. Human governments have failed only God can remedy d situation!
And am sure ur father is presently sleeping with u. U are obviously a product of a failed home. I can see the hate in u.u were there when they started sleeping with each other? Bloody foolish bastard
Funny ur mother gave birth to u. Fool

God bless you,Teju for this Reply. Couldn't have said it any better.
Omotola had her first child at 18 years and it takes 9 months for pregnancy ........... I was her classmate at Command Kaduna, when we were writing JAMB she was busy pregnant .
She is a face of child bride so PLEASSSSSeeee.
yes hater she's one of the most influential person in d world if u like go and hang urself, and yes 4 those of u saying she started having sex wit her hubby at d age of i6,she wasn't forced to,was her own decision which ended well for her.which by the way she got married at d age of 18 same age with most our parents back then including my own mum.so pls u all shuld shut d fuck up and stp hating let's focus our anger on dis shamless senators who wants 2 use our dotas 4 thir ritual purposes. ist time 2 comment on dis blog am a huge fan of dis blog
@ anonymous 11:41am thank u oh! Don't knw why nigerians feel d need to constantly criticise people.omotola said she is one of d most influential people,yes she is according to forbes nd she has every right to say it nd wether she got married at 18 or was pregnant before then it was her choice!! This is wat we re fighting for.let female children decide nd choose for themselves when they want to get married nd to who.so can we please shut up about the backbitting nd focus on fightin for female children.I too say no child bride.
I Oladele Adeolu say NO to "child slavery" and not marriage. For marriage takes place btw two adults and not btw one adult and one child (vice versa) or btw children and children. Anything sort of this sinful and it needs not to be legalised. God detest sinful act at any religion you look at it.
Well said OmoT... My name is Mary nd I say NO to child Marriage..
Btw,, why wud omot consider herself as one of d most influencial pple in d world??? Did she mean Nigeria of even Africa??? Pride tinz #smh
MYRAYA
@anon 22july 1:13, she doesn't consider herself as" she is one of the most influential ppl according to Forbes.
yes. Do you have anything against that? Isnt she? Go and work.
Hmmm....What a world; what a life! Are we saying our law makers dont have better things/issues to consider for the good of our nation Nigeria. Hope they wont be entitled to sitting allowance? Cos this is a waste of our resources. If they are done with the agenda they all have for us, then they should all vacate the assembly.
Like seriously wasting precious time on legalizing Child Marriage to cover for their Paedophila.
Now to those supporting #ChildNotBride Campaign:
Pls if ur Sugar Daddy is as old as ur popsy don't bother joining d campaign;
If u'r sleeping with a girl not up to 18 years, pls don't bother joining d campaign;
If u had sex before the age of 18(willfully i.e with ur consent intact), pls don't bother joining d campaign.
Hypocrisy is not allowed. Be Warned!
Cos if u dont support Child Marriage while be any of the 3 listed above.
...Good one Omotola. Shame on those senators.
Dnt be surprise if the muslims are nt saying anything abt another disgraceful outing frm their religion, cos just like them, they're all handicapped by cobweb of wash wash doctrine. Their mind is caged by darkened tenets so encroaching that they can't extricate themselves. And how would they find their voice when demonic logs are lodged in their throats. Prisoners of idea. What a pity.
Good talk! Omosexy
Gorgeous!
I was curious if you ever considered changing
the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
