STELLA DAMASUS, I USED TO LIKE YOU, NOW I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE THE TRUE EPITOME OF WOMANHOOD. WOMEN STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND CHALLENGE THIS LAW. MEN STAND UP FOR YOUR SISTERS AND DAUGHTERS.
Stella, I am so impressed by dis. Thank you 4 fighting 4 all d young gals in nigeria. Dame patience jonathan. Where re u nw? U can fight with wole soyinka over irrelevant tins bt u can't fight 4 ur children... Na wa ooo#teamfightagainstchildabuse#
I love you stella for coming out so open to talk about dis,other female stars who do nt wnt 2 kom out open lyk dis becos dey have sometin 2 do wit dese sentors,come out openly lyk stella ad omatala and campaign against dis!died sentors,ass holess
i think that this post should get to every where so those stupid and shameless people can see and let their conscience judge them right or wrong.pls post this comments daily till there is a change so people can join these cause for a positive response.
stella damasus well said,i feel your pain,so we all feel the same thing about this issue.....kudos to you,but you also try to be a good role model to your own children,don't use this to cover your own shameless act....serial wife,husband snatcher
Well spoken Stella. Well spoken! Nigerians should please use the social media and ensure that this malaise among our senators is stopped! We do not know the power we have with Facebook, Twitter, Blackberry, etc. The world is watching. CNN, UN etc are watching our reaction. Let's not keep silent and go about business as usual. Tomorrow a corrupt politician will rape a young girl and make a weak offer to marry her since the useless constitution supports him and he'd escape the judgement of the law. Nigerians should say NO! to the rape of a girl-child in the name of marriage.
I feel her pains.. it totally absurd... lik seriously i dnt get.. i cant figure it out.. hw did those senators even tink bout somtin lik dat it baffles me...
Madam Stella Damsus is misinformed and he is making her misinformation public. The Nigerian Legislature did not in any way attempt to legalize child marriage. I don't understand why people are adamant in circulating this misinformation and painting the image of the nation black.
Hmmmm, u killed it stella, ur words where so on point nd I feel ur pain. Nd plz nobody shuld insult her oooo, cos I knw d nxt tin u all will start saying now is husband snatcher. Nobody holy pass so u all shuld mind ur business
thumbs up Stella!!!! Now that's what I'm talking about. A woman who isn't afraid to speak the truth. Shame on our first lady. say NO to the legalisation of underaged marriage in Nigeria. Join the fight and let our voices be heard!
I totally agree with this woman... Its a matter that shouldn't even cross the mind of a sane person let alone the senate. like she said they are all perverts who want to justify their treacherous desires. May the good Lord render all of them impotent. Amen

hello Linda, been reading your blog for years now and its my first time to comment,publish my comment.... This the best time our first lady need to voice out and fight not involving our self in some unnecessary business. ode first lady.
I actually had tears running down my face when she said 'dont let them do this to our babies' I feel every bit of emotion you felt there Stella, anger, pain, disgust, frustration, confusion. It breaks my heart over and over again. Here's the thing though. Nigerians are never consistent. Everyone's talking about it now, we'll keep talking about it in the next couple of days, perhaps weeks. But trust me, it'll all die down like so many other issues. wheres occupy Nigeria today? what happened to the Aluu 4? who knows if the murderers are truly in prison? Here's hoping that we truly stand for this and fight with everything we have. We Nigerians never use the power of our Population and the truth is that is all we have right now seeing as we have air-heads as leaders. its soo annoying that an insignificant fraction of our population make all these stupid decisions and we all just stomach them. There are sooo many things we can change. LETS FIGHT FOR THIS, AND FIGHT ALL THE WAY. By the way, Yerima should be castrated. maybe he'll make better use of his position seeing as they've refused to impeach him.
A matter that shouldn't even cross the mind of a sane person let alone the senate. They are all a bunch of perverts. May the good Lord render them impotent. Amen
Shut up fool,she did nt snatch anybody's hubby,dey were divorced b4 she entered d pic,get dat in2 ur thick dump skul,we r talking about how 2 protect our children,ur talking about pple's marriage dat does nt concern u,misplaced priorities

Honey that's the way to go! I can't believe this is happening,u know Linda I personally did my IT project in school concerning VVF and my place of focus was the university teaching hospital Bauchi at the VVF ward. U won't believe anything anyone says until u see for urself,there in the north,,,it's a disaster.
Super super comment. Very well said Stella. I am 100% with you on this. Where is the loud mouthed first lady? She always sticks her nose where its not wanted,where is she now? She has suddenly gone dumb. Shame on u first lady, shame on the female senators in the house that day, shame on the fathers (senators) that agreed on such, Shame on Yerima the Beast, shame on all of you. I am soooooo with you on this sis. If we need to protest on this, i am available. #Proud mother of 2 gurls#
Choi! See PR of life. Stella is a darn good actress and she nailed this one. Whoever directed this script equally did a good job (I'm surprised you didn't shed those trademark tears)But wait o, how much can you do about this matter when you are still on self-exile from the unfinished business you left back home? Me, I'm not deceived. THIS HAS TO DO WITH IMAGE MANAGEMENT THAN PASSION FOR THE LAND. Woman, pray and think too. PS: I'm angrier about the #childnotbride cause too, maybe more than you.
The Major problem with Nigeria is more than just the leaders in power. The issue is that the Masses sit back and do absolutely nothing. We are very quick to complain, and go back to our businesses. Everything returns back to business as usual. IT IS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!

The Day nigerians are ready to fight for their right is the day we move forward....... Nigerians are just too scared to fight cus of the fear of death but will rather die in silence and in pain.
*Americans are fighting for justice for trayvon martin and the black community.
*Egyptians are fighting for better democracy.
*Syrians are fighting for democracy and freedom
*Brazilians are fighting for democracy and better living
*Lybia fought for democracy and freedom from gaddafi
The whole word is fighting for what they believe in and their right but Nigerians are watching and hoping, believing God will come down and talk to jonathan and our leaders to please change because God loves us and hate those country who fought for their Right Nigerian youth our future is at stake. FIGHT IS INEVITABLE (peacefully /violently)
Please shut up if u don't have anything to say. Must you talk? What is the matter at hand and what are you talking about? Stella has always been a good woman. God will bless her for speaking up cause this is all child abuse
A lot of respect to you stella. And i will not forget you too omotola. And to all you fools that are saying rubbish about this woman stella and calling her names, just Know that all of you just fools. i love this woman before, but know i love her more for taking this stand against this evil men,i am happy that we know them now.madam president stand up for what is. Right. And you linda. If you don't post this comment. Just know i will include ur name on that list . No make me Vex
Abeg...why you mention Dame Patience??? Does she have a child to understand what motherhood means??? infact na una fault...When she speaks (umbrrelllaaa) una go talk...btw i am a big fan of GEJ..but his wife will singlehandedly destroy him...Well said Stella...#TeamChildnotbride
This is sweet. Stella is so on point,our leaders jst mke selfish nd shameless decisions.i wonder if they ever tink b4 agreeing. Even sum 20 sumtins r nt matured enof for marriage. talkless a child, dis is madness. EVE
Dental news and the rest of you insulting this woman for getting married to a certain man, i think y'all should just shut the F up. Does a woman propose to a man or the other way round? If the married man in question suddenly forgot dat he is married and decides to take up another wife who is in agreement, na which one be ur own for the matter? see ur teeth sef. Drinking panadol for another person's medicine. Why do women hate demselves dis much? Instead of coming on the man for leaving his wife and marrying another, we attack the woman, calling her a husband snatcher. What is wrong with you? She has spoken wisely using this forum, something that y'all will never have the guts to do. Appreciate her actions and keep ur negativity to urself please.
Ur a big fool, ur such an animal , senseless fool for calling her that name, who are you to judge her,na people like you rape 5 year old baby taut , monkey, ezi,udene, ashawo, i wish i can see this fool now kaii . U get luck.

We can all come on linda's blog to commend stella and pure out our mind but the *QUESTION is WHAT ARE U READY TO DO TO DEFEND YOUR FUTURE AND YOUR RIGHT*
shout out to those of you who had tears in your eyes while she was ranting! Your tears were in vain.Why? 1) Cause there is no bill been passed on child marriage 2) some senators tried to "Amend" the law on marriage by putting an age to it but their voice was overpowered by their Northern counterparts (dats democracy 4 u) 3) We keep citing Yerima's 13yr old bride as an example, guess what? she is Egyptian!
Finally, we should channel our angers to "war against rape". That way we can protect the girl child today and when she's in power, she might enact changes for what we are blindly crying about #childnotbride
Its simple; A man violates ur daughter + obviously she said no to the act= Rape A man violates ur daugheter, he argues she consented= rape A man marries ur "4 year old daughter" + you can prove she did not consent to the act= Rape.
This should be our fight.
My name is Awhy and I say "Mothers, keep your children!"
I am a muslim but that act is a stupid one indeed, why are they misquoting ALLAH's words and the HOLY BOOK leave them cos many of them will rot in jail, as for the law amendment just for the sake for someone to live ba? that person will die one day and face the WRATH OF GOD, as for the BAD politicians leave them they are the ones who ALMIGHTY HAS CHOOSE TO LEAD ASTRAY if they don't repent now their hereafter will be FIRE FOR A START, AS FOR US LETS KEEP ON PRAYING FOR THIS COUNTRY COS I BELIEVE ONE DAY NIGERIA WILL BE DIVINED! ITS WELL WITH OUR SOULS IN HIS MIGHTY NAME.
To all the foolish commenters, talking about this ladys personal life, you are all the beginning of the problem. Ignorant Nigerians, always eager to criticise and gossip about meaningless things... if your mouth is so big and you are so disgusted by things that are wrong, should you not be standing up and talking for the voiceless??? every single person who wasted their time to write about her personal life, is a disgrace to the nation, is partly responsible for the fate of these children. How can a person boldly take a stance and rather than foucs on the issue, and think of what you can do, you are sitting there insulting a person brave enough to do something.
NOTHING IN NIGERIA WILL CHANCE TILL WE LEARN TO STAND FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, STOP BEING DISTRACTED BY MINDLESS GOSSIP AND DO SOMETHING, IF NOT NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE.
I concur with you Stella.Where are the other celebs? We apparently not asking for a fundraising ish this time, we need you guys to voice out asap. Thunder fire those RANDY Senators and their generations. It sounds appalling and repulsive big time. 1st lady whr u at? cme shw ursef now..
i support this argument a 100 times! do not judge Stella Damascus. let he without sin cast the first stone. she's supporting a good cause lets join her. she spoke well. all these senators are just useless. now wole Soyinka can speak, patience Johnathan can speak. let all these senators stop thinking with their anus and think with their head.
Omotola spoke against this...Nigerians wrote that she was 16 wen she started dating, so she has no right to talk about it.... Stella spoke against this...Nigerians wrote she is a husband snatcher... When can we actually ever unite in this country against a clear wrong ish like this???? Whats the different btw the foolish commenters and the senators???? MADDDDDDDD

do no judge Stella Damascus. let he without sin throw the first stone. she is speaking the truth. just listen to what she is saying and forget about what she has done in the past. now, wole Soyinka can speak. patience Johnathan can speak. those useless senators will definitely be punished. this is shameful indeed.
Some people can be stupid sometimes. It pains me that some unidentified idiots will leave d issue at hand to talk about husband snatching. Wot d hell has it got 2 do with #childbride#? Instead of u 2 channel ur smelling energy to fight for these kids who may be victims of these menace, u r fighting Stella who came out openly to condemn these barbaric act. Shame on u. Ride on Stella. The Lord is ur strength.
shameless old animals.how many of their 13 years old are married.animals.good question stella, u said it all .dont we have first lady,governors wives an female senators?.
OMOTOLA''S COURAGE I THINK IS WHAT HAS ENCOURAGED HER COLLEAGUES TO NOW COME OUT AND SPEAK. KUDIS STELLA THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL LIFE WE DEAL WITH THAT LATER. WHERE ARE THE OTHERS CELEBS? AS SHE SAID THAT PROMOTE THEMSELVES AROUND THE WORLD ?...YOU KNOW YOURSELVES.
shameless old animals.how many of their 13 years old are married.animals.good question stella, u said it all .dont we have first lady,governors wives an female senators?.
prince charming or what eva u call ur self, i believe you need to get an education . we are not talking about admiration here but we all need to stand up like stella for what is right period. no religious practice is above the law.if its worng its wrong.
Wait, so because Stella is involved in a sordid affair with someone else's husband means her voice against the child marriage issue isn't hard hitting? That makes no sense.. Sorry!
Stella may not be holy but tell me who is. you? me? NO! she may be a slut or a husband snatcher as alleged. but how many people has her actions affected. 8? 9? 10? maybe more but this law on the other hand will affect 167 million Nigerians. Refusing to marry your child from 13 will become breaking the law. Marriage will now be by force. This is national matter, so channel your voices to what can affect you and I. What is your priority? Stella's personal wrong deeds or the message she stood up for in this video? #CHILDNOTBRIDE #GIVEACHILDAPENANDNOTAP***s
Some of you who were crucifying Stella I know you lack wisdom and understanding. Someone will wake up one day and will post something to tarnish someone's image on the Internet and will just be accepted by fools. Stella did not snatch anybody's husband, she still married to her hubby. The story is absolute lie, so, stop spreading rumors before the wrath of God fall on u. My dear Stella you have said it well. Well done.
All of you who are criticizing have no shame. she has come out to protest, what have u done?..rubbish..when u become a celebrity then u tell us how easy it is to be one..i'm proud of her and love the fact that she doesn't listen to what cruel people like u have to say, she wud have gotten a heart attack by now..God Bless you Stella.. #ChildNotBride
You all chastise Stella for her misbehaviours in her personal life yet she stood up for her country while the ones you all classify role models are turning deaf ears to an issue that should be unheard of and arouse so much anger in them. whether na act or script, she wasn't ashamed to show her face, call names and stand for what is right for Nigeria, she was no coward and i applaude her for this. #herooftheweek
i think stella she's stupid what is her concern with islamic law. shez such a stupid, scum,useless, asshole, fucking bitch idiot girl. just look at how she is. shez jst like a piece of rotten meat
Well done Stella!!! For all those jobless fools insulting her for her marriage. please do a tape of your self fighting for our own nation. Please try to embrace the value we have instead of pouring out your frustration on her.Stella has done well. We love you. Linda please post my comment.
I had goose bumps all over my body while watching this, our leaders are really shameless upon the level of corruption in the country this is what they sit with their pot bellies and deliberate about what a shame. God bless you Stella let our so called 1st lady sit there this is a fight that she should stand up and represent women,mothers but our 1st lady would rather be involved in matters that has nothing to do with her. Give a child a PEN not a PENIS.
i knew u will not post my comment.but am warning again leave men of GOD alone,concentrate on ur work.stop sending text mesgs to pastor chris request millions of money or u join other journalists to tarnish his image & vision.GOD is *watching*.i thought is only dis rubbish blogging dat's pays u not knowing u are involving in dirt binez & blaspheming.if like don't post again as usual,so dat ur readers will not know what u're into.
Stella I respect you for this. Thank you for speaking up and against this nonsense. Non of use is without sin., but we cannot sit idle while a great evil is in our mist. Devil great distractor you are a liar.
When I heard about this I laughed... I thought it was just Nigeria being silly... Buh now I am a 17 yr old girl n I dnt want to be bundled up in marriage, talk more of a 13yr old who knows less n hasn't seen anything yet in life.... I have a lil sis who is 10 n this makes me fear... They want to ruin our lives b4 we get a chance to start it... They want to kill our spirit n make us slaves.... N just 4 what? Some old men that want small children in their beds to molest n violate without getting into any trouble... Instead of senate to use that time n study the leading countries of the world n copy d things they did to become strong n gr8 they r looking 4 lives to ruin n children to destroy.... Thank u Stella for speaking up I am sure girls n mothers everywhere would be behind you 100%... As long as God lives he won't let these men succeed.
Pls, speak 4 urslf Prince Charming. No mata wat her actions wia, she stil has conscience n made a huge point on dis #childbride# issue. She deserves to b applauded 4 taking dis bold step towards dis issue n nt condemn her in any way n cm to think of it, wat part hv u urslf actually playd as regards to dis #childbride# law?
Nigerians stop the 'husband snatching' insult and face the issue at hand.
This woman deserves an award for standing up to speak and with a face accuse our so called 'women in power' eg. Patience, Ngozi, Diezie etc to take charge do their job.
How many of you can stand up and directly accuse the 1st lady like she did...abeg make una go hug transformer
With her last statement, she knw many people will insult her with regards to her recent marriage but guess what,SHE DOESN'T CARE!!! Nigerians let's focus on this issue and deal with, let's tell Jona and his boys that we are not fool's who would eat any rubbish they spit out...abeg!!! #JUSTME and for the record..am not a fan of Mrs Stella just an objective reader.
Anybody that criticizing Stella Damascus based on this issue must be a fool and perpetrators of evil. Nigerians should stand and fight for the right of their children even the unborn ones.
I refer to all you Sabi Sabi distractors to Sani yerimas speech in favour of under age marriage . Published in The proudly Nigerian. When you have finished studying it and the hidden message it carries, come back to this blog and tell us we are shouting for notting
we should not bring in personal beef about Stella. lets face the issue at hand about this nonsense of the senators. Nigerians we must stand as one the fight corruption.
Your just as shameless as those paedophile senators have you removed the speck from your own eyes you religious hypocrite I assume your a supporter of underage marriage and pedophiles. Stella is standing up for what she believes
Please people leave the name calling for now... Stella is trying to fight for a good course. Husband snatcher or not. She did not put a gun to the man's head to leave his wife... It's her life. Please let's concentrate on the matter at hand... Lets say no to cradle snatching and child abuse....
To everyone who posted and still posting comments; and indeed all Nigerians, It is not about Stella now. We all have our shortcomings although, husband snatching and its ally (if proved) are not the best to be involved in. They are equally shameful and distasteful. However, TRUTH must be said that NIGERIA IS NOT AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY; it is secular in nature borne out of our respective choices and there is nothing anybody can do about that. To this end, nobody, I repeat, nobody has the right to lord one religion over any other. We have all shown understanding arising from mutual respect, by agreeing that both Orthodox and Sharia Laws can be accommodated and if under your own law, it is permitted to marry an underage girl, so be it but that should not be made to be a Law for the entire nation. No, it is not acceptable. By the way, why will the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria get busy in a subservient issue. What about all other more important national issues? I want to restrain from thinking (rightly though) like others who must have degraded the Senate, hoping as I do, that they will listen to voice of reason because one person does not dig a grave and clear the earth therefrom neither does an egg has hair strands.
What does husband snatching have to do with this issue? Do u want to compare husband snatching to pedophilia ? She is here speaking on behalf of children who do not have a voice and all you can do is point a finger at her life and mistakes. Like all of you are perfect. If they could put a camera on your lives, we would see much worse things.This mentality is the reason why Nigeria is still the way it is. Rather than facing issues head on, we choose to use our stupid judgement to cloud issues. Maybe when u are given an option of someone snatching ur husband or wife or marrying your 6 years old daughter, you would choose for them to marry your child. Idiots.
Why are the deviation from the subject matter and cursing out Stella? The last l checked husband snatching involves two consenting adult , but infant and cradle snatching in the name of marriage is not. This men a perverts that needs to be stopped. The best we can do is lend a voice like Stella did, not an insult. Am not a big fan of Stella, but the issue at hand is not about her, it's about a girl child whose life is about to be put on the line by our miserable, irresponsible lawmakers.
Our senate did not pass a bill on early marriage what they did was; The senate voted on section 29 (4) (B) of the constitution which talks about if a person wants to denounce their citizenship the person should be 18 but a woman who is married (irrespective of her age - emphasis mine) shall be deemed of age. Finish oh. This law has been there for 14 years, because the senate didn't remove it in the current constitutional review, it has become a problem. But, I understand that this part of this constitution not being removed has implications as though it is agreeing that girls below 18 can get married and it will not allow sections in the Child Rights Act to go ahead

Never mind, just remember that recently, the Senate President said that no country fights a second civil war and survives it. A lot of things are testing and insulting our sensibilities!
dear LIB readers, I understand the issue about religion, and obeying God's command. i have a little question for all in support of this barbaric act. if we all claim that whatever religion we follow is true and has the right message, i beg to ask "DID WE ALL GET THE MESSAGE?". do we all critically understand what the message each religion is founded on? if your religion is based on any other thing than Love of God and Love of neighbor, then u are on a broad long thing.
I salute your courage Stella! Why do we all still live in cowardice? Speak your mind! We are here to fight the stupid bill... You are here criticizing what a courageous person has put forward, under the guise of 'Anonymous'. Nigerians always have issues but, instead of find solutions, they lay back shamefully pointing out silly things about a person helping the situation. Is that the solution to our problems?? Leave Stella's personal life out of this and lets all grow up an sort this issue out as a nation! In other news.... Shame on all those abusing her! You all are no different from the Yerima pervert! I stand strongly with you Stella! We need more courage like this!!! Lets fight this! Lets fight corruption!!!
i personally feel that nigeria should just stop running on biblical and islamic laws. Second of all she should call the names of the senators and not group them all together, some of them actually get sense, it was not all of them that brought out this stupidity
Stella, abeg return the husband wey you snatch. There is no amount of humanitarian work you do that will put you in the good book of man and God, until you do the needful. Her secret tears and pains will start hunting you very soon, so pleas return the man to the rightful owner!
I'm writing this to ENLIGHTEN everyone speaking up against child marriage. some have called those carrying the #childnotbride campaign IGNORANT as the issue is not underage marriage but who is allowed to renounce their Nigerian citizenship. Well I must admit that some people although their hearts are in the right place are misinformed. Well not all of are "ignorant". We know what we are saying. The bone of contention is there already exists a bill in our constitution that states that anyone over the age of 18 is allowed to renounce their Nigerian citizenship. Then a subsection goes further to state that anyone who is married(regardless of age) is deemed "of full age". Now the senate house decided to amend this bill to remove that subsection. But pedophile yerima objected citing that Islamic law allows for girls of any age to be married and then termed "of full age" so the removal of the clause will be going against Islamic law.
So why this clause should be removed is that it adds grease to the elbow of underage marriage. The bill already states that 18 yr old and above can renounce their citizen ship so the sub section stating that anyone who is married is deemed of full age confirms that there are people in nigeria that are not upto 18yrs but married and then further goes on to say that the country condones these marriages And will allow such children to participate in "adult activities" like renunciation of citizenship. But this goes against the child right act that states anyone over the age is a child and will not be allowed to be married Now OUR argument is that we do not accept that ppl under the age of 18 should be married and hence we will not allow any bill that states or implies that we do. Our little girls should not be married to yerima and his likes so we say NO. THE BILL SHOULD BE AMENDED because nigeria is not an Islamic country.
Stella dis is a just fight as a woman and mother I stand with you. We can't wait for the second coming to fight this evil, no one is without sin. The sin is sitting by and watching while innocence is corrupted. He dat is without sin is Christ.
This is absolute nonsense!. Powers in the world should pleaseeeeeeee come to our aid and help in stopping this child abuse. Come to think of it, maybe it's time the North go their separate ways.The idiot South Senator in support of the stupid idea should bury his head in shame. Women in the senate, you are all a disgrace to the women fold.
God Bless STELLA, i support you! And for those of you calling her a husband snather, did she snatch your own? you all shall be called names too even when you do something right. Hypocrites!
All these people calling Stella names. I don't see any of you spare heading a campaign to stop this bill. Even if u do, are u without sin. I wonder if u are peodophile in disguise hoping to distract from the main issue by starting a smear campaign on this courageous woman. Nuisance!!.
To all u calling her a husband snatcher, has any1 come out to say she took their husband???? U people just rant! Bull shit!! She found love in the guy, was she to throw it away. Moreso, whats urs cant be taken. So u lowlifers ,leave Stella alone ooooo

THIS Issue is too serious for you to allow your commenters make it about Stella or write their normal nonsense.
Fighting against something sometimes means using ALL you have to fight. You moderate comments for a reason, right? NOW is the time to moderate the hell out of comments. Please use your platform to push AGAINST this travesty.
@prince charming u should ashamed of urself, are we discussing Stella or the issue of child marriage? what has her admiration got to do with the bone of contention? also, those calling her aristo, she is an adult and can sleep with whoever she decides to sleep its not u people's business! she isn't under 18, she is old enough to make decisions for herself! She has spoken well and I admire her courage.
I have tears in my eyes now for Nigeria! Is this country safe to raise kids anymore? Every mother should be angry at this because when you imagine the labor pains you went through you will not want a child going through that in the name of religion.
How will this country move forward when all we like to do is point fingers with no action. Here's Stella screaming to the world about the wickedness of our nation overflowing and all you can do is insult her. So what if she did something wrong? Is that the issue here? Or maybe that's more important to you than the small girls who are about to be sold off to disgusting oafs like those Senators and their colleagues. I don't care if Lil Wayne or Leanne Rimes comes out to talk about this. It is time for these hardened criminals ruling our country to feel some shame. And all these their globetrotting children eating our nations money should just know. If our children are fair game, so are you. I will not hesitate to shame you into shaming your parents.
Stella may lack the basic moral etiquette (at least to some people) to put mouth in such issues, i strongly believe she gets this one right. Child marriage is despicable, we must jointly condemn it. It poses a lot of health risk to the juvenile girl if she get pregnant as well as to the infant if she eventually born the child safely. here are its health risks according to unicef
See the hypocrites. Two consenting adults can't be together, because in sine out dated inhuman book it claims to say so, but the leaders back a move to legalize under age marriage.... supported by theological statutes. If you're all so pious, why are you complaining. Mixed up priorities.
looking for cheap popularity..she's only taking advantage of the situation to regain importance.. people had better not fall for her fakeness.. like she cares
You are in point Bloglord. How old is the baby that she took away from the mother? It's all the same thing. Stella when you take away a young child from the Mother, what is it called? Am sure she wants to seek asylum with this acting. Please give Doris back her son. Thanks
Husband Snatcher or Not! Stella has spoken very well! Are u without sin??? At least she doesn't pretend! Since when did dating someone's 'ex' become 'snatching'??? Stupid Nigerians..... Did Dorris tell u she's still with the man in question??? Any fool that's without sin should pls answer me @zero tolerance
This is fight to finish, i am a mother as well, how some bunch of Animals ...called them self Senators...sat down and legalize under age marriage...Dem...God will punish all of you, thunder will strike all of you that agree on this issues down...Stella you have spoken..we are solidly behind you. God bless you.
@prince charming, for GOD's sake shut up please, we have been feeling the pains here from UK, just to see another Nigeria like you say something from no where........grow up man
Ok! M sowi 2 say dis buh wah u rote now aw does it make sense pls????? We tlkn bout undaerage marriage u tlkn husbnd snatching... she did wah ws nt ryt soooo shey u beta pass er ni??????
Rejoinder to 'ChildnotBride': Dear Nigerians, let us try to ascertain the true position of the law before we rise up to fight. There is no bill pending before the Senate to amend the marriage age of a child, what is before the Senate is a bill for the Amendment of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999.The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Section 29 sub section 4a states that 'full age' means the age of eighteen years and above;'. However, subsection 4b then goes ahead to state 'any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age'. What the senate is trying to achieve is to amend the constitution by expunging this subsection 4b because it gives room for anyone to marry an underage girl and she instantly becomes an adult under our existing laws!!! So please let us join hands and support those Senators who wish to expunge this particular subsection. Senator Yerima on the other hand is fighting to keep this subsection as is. The Child Rights Act enacted by the National Assembly already stipulates the age of marriage as 18 years, however, the jurisdiction of the Child Rights Act is limited to the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, what we need to do now is to mount pressure on the states houses of assembly to domesticate the provisions of the Child Rights Act by enacting the Child Rights Law for the respective states. Lets fight for the right cause. The future of our daughters is at stake.
Y wunt u b, m pretty sure u aint got a child tlk mre a lytl girl in ur fam, nd plz if u du kindly gv er 2 ur mallam 4 marriage..... mtschewwww... Linda post ma comment ooooo

STELLA DAMASUS, I USED TO LIKE YOU, NOW I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE THE TRUE EPITOME OF WOMANHOOD. WOMEN STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND CHALLENGE THIS LAW. MEN STAND UP FOR YOUR SISTERS AND DAUGHTERS.

i think that this post should get to every where so those stupid and shameless people can see and let their conscience judge them right or wrong.pls post this comments daily till there is a change so people can join these cause for a positive response.
lovely lovely lovely speech. god bless nigeria
stella damasus well said,i feel your pain,so we all feel the same thing about this issue.....kudos to you,but you also try to be a good role model to your own children,don't use this to cover your own shameless act....serial wife,husband snatcher
Well spoken Stella. Well spoken! Nigerians should please use the social media and ensure that this malaise among our senators is stopped! We do not know the power we have with Facebook, Twitter, Blackberry, etc. The world is watching. CNN, UN etc are watching our reaction. Let's not keep silent and go about business as usual. Tomorrow a corrupt politician will rape a young girl and make a weak offer to marry her since the useless constitution supports him and he'd escape the judgement of the law. Nigerians should say NO! to the rape of a girl-child in the name of marriage.
This is the reason why our country is still in the state it is today
Stella ti te P oo... What makes u different 4rm the men anyway? They are shameless, jst like u.
u said it stella great job omotola better rise up and say something not to just be doing reality fucking tv and goin all over the place
I am PROUD of you Stella.
I feel her pains.. it totally absurd... lik seriously i dnt get.. i cant figure it out.. hw did those senators even tink bout somtin lik dat it baffles me...
Madam Stella Damsus is misinformed and he is making her misinformation public. The Nigerian Legislature did not in any way attempt to legalize child marriage. I don't understand why people are adamant in circulating this misinformation and painting the image of the nation black.
I feel u stella. You deserve a standing ovation.
thank so much for this video.so many stuff going on in Nigeria and you foolish ppl are talking abt dis.
oloreburuku,Pedophile f**kers.
Hmmmm, u killed it stella, ur words where so on point nd I feel ur pain. Nd plz nobody shuld insult her oooo, cos I knw d nxt tin u all will start saying now is husband snatcher. Nobody holy pass so u all shuld mind ur business
STELLA MY BEAUTIFUL LADY I SUPPORT YOU MY DEAR, DON'T MIND THAT NOISE MAD MAN.
thumbs up Stella!!!! Now that's what I'm talking about. A woman who isn't afraid to speak the truth. Shame on our first lady. say NO to the legalisation of underaged marriage in Nigeria. Join the fight and let our voices be heard!
I totally agree with this woman... Its a matter that shouldn't even cross the mind of a sane person let alone the senate. like she said they are all perverts who want to justify their treacherous desires. May the good Lord render all of them impotent. Amen

Well said!
hello Linda, been reading your blog for years now and its my first time to comment,publish my comment.... This the best time our first lady need to voice out and fight not involving our self in some unnecessary business. ode first lady.
Nice one Stella!!! Shameless useless old men
Kudos stella.for the first time you are lending your voice for the service of humanity.weldone
I actually had tears running down my face when she said 'dont let them do this to our babies' I feel every bit of emotion you felt there Stella, anger, pain, disgust, frustration, confusion. It breaks my heart over and over again.
Here's the thing though. Nigerians are never consistent. Everyone's talking about it now, we'll keep talking about it in the next couple of days, perhaps weeks. But trust me, it'll all die down like so many other issues. wheres occupy Nigeria today? what happened to the Aluu 4? who knows if the murderers are truly in prison? Here's hoping that we truly stand for this and fight with everything we have.
We Nigerians never use the power of our Population and the truth is that is all we have right now seeing as we have air-heads as leaders. its soo annoying that an insignificant fraction of our population make all these stupid decisions and we all just stomach them. There are sooo many things we can change.
LETS FIGHT FOR THIS, AND FIGHT ALL THE WAY.
By the way, Yerima should be castrated. maybe he'll make better use of his position seeing as they've refused to impeach him.
Stella has vex o,I second dat
A matter that shouldn't even cross the mind of a sane person let alone the senate. They are all a bunch of perverts. May the good Lord render them impotent. Amen
Shut up fool,she did nt snatch anybody's hubby,dey were divorced b4 she entered d pic,get dat in2 ur thick dump skul,we r talking about how 2 protect our children,ur talking about pple's marriage dat does nt concern u,misplaced priorities

It funny non of our so called men of God is condemning this evil.
Most at times wen u say see video blow,I usually don't c any link.wats up wit dat Linda?
Pple can be so funny. U leave the main issue to criticise a woman. Maybe when it affects you, u will knw the rite side to take
Thumps Up for my Gill!!! Well spoken. Let all Nigerian who are not supporting this EVIL act speak up now. It is time to stand for what we believe in and fight for our democracy!
Let all Human and Child rights activist set up and act.
Honey that's the way to go! I can't believe this is happening,u know Linda I personally did my IT project in school concerning VVF and my place of focus was the university teaching hospital Bauchi at the VVF ward. U won't believe anything anyone says until u see for urself,there in the north,,,it's a disaster.
Super super comment. Very well said Stella. I am 100% with you on this. Where is the loud mouthed first lady? She always sticks her nose where its not wanted,where is she now? She has suddenly gone dumb. Shame on u first lady, shame on the female senators in the house that day, shame on the fathers (senators) that agreed on such, Shame on Yerima the Beast, shame on all of you. I am soooooo with you on this sis. If we need to protest on this, i am available. #Proud mother of 2 gurls#
STELLA HAS SPOKEN WELL...THESE CHILDREN NEEDS A VOICE, LETS LEND OUR VOICES.
#CRYING#
I fully stand with you and agree with you ma..... i am ayodele Ehi i say no to childnotbride.....
Choi! See PR of life. Stella is a darn good actress and she nailed this one. Whoever directed this script equally did a good job (I'm surprised you didn't shed those trademark tears)But wait o, how much can you do about this matter when you are still on self-exile from the unfinished business you left back home? Me, I'm not deceived. THIS HAS TO DO WITH IMAGE MANAGEMENT THAN PASSION FOR THE LAND. Woman, pray and think too.
PS: I'm angrier about the #childnotbride cause too, maybe more than you.
just an easy way out for thir ritual purposes, shameless fools
The Major problem with Nigeria is more than just the leaders in power. The issue is that the Masses sit back and do absolutely nothing. We are very quick to complain, and go back to our businesses. Everything returns back to business as usual. IT IS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!

The Day nigerians are ready to fight for their right is the day we move forward....... Nigerians are just too scared to fight cus of the fear of death but will rather die in silence and in pain.
*Americans are fighting for justice for trayvon martin and the black community.
*Egyptians are fighting for better democracy.
*Syrians are fighting for democracy and freedom
*Brazilians are fighting for democracy and better living
*Lybia fought for democracy and freedom from gaddafi
The whole word is fighting for what they believe in and their right but Nigerians are watching and hoping, believing God will come down and talk to jonathan and our leaders to please change because God loves us and hate those country who fought for their Right
Nigerian youth our future is at stake.
FIGHT IS INEVITABLE
(peacefully /violently)
I REST MY BRAIN
Bless u Stella
Return Doris husband before U open ur mouth
Please shut up if u don't have anything to say. Must you talk? What is the matter at hand and what are you talking about? Stella has always been a good woman. God will bless her for speaking up cause this is all child abuse
A lot of respect to you stella. And i will not forget you too omotola. And to all you fools that are saying rubbish about this woman stella and calling her names, just Know that all of you just fools. i love this woman before, but know i love her more for taking this stand against this evil men,i am happy that we know them now.madam president stand up for what is. Right. And you linda. If you don't post this comment. Just know i will include ur name on that list . No make me Vex
Abeg...why you mention Dame Patience??? Does she have a child to understand what motherhood means??? infact na una fault...When she speaks (umbrrelllaaa) una go talk...btw i am a big fan of GEJ..but his wife will singlehandedly destroy him...Well said Stella...#TeamChildnotbride
This is serious!!!
This is sweet. Stella is so on point,our leaders jst mke selfish nd shameless decisions.i wonder if they ever tink b4 agreeing. Even sum 20 sumtins r nt matured enof for marriage. talkless a child, dis is madness. EVE
Dental news and the rest of you insulting this woman for getting married to a certain man, i think y'all should just shut the F up. Does a woman propose to a man or the other way round? If the married man in question suddenly forgot dat he is married and decides to take up another wife who is in agreement, na which one be ur own for the matter? see ur teeth sef. Drinking panadol for another person's medicine. Why do women hate demselves dis much? Instead of coming on the man for leaving his wife and marrying another, we attack the woman, calling her a husband snatcher. What is wrong with you?
She has spoken wisely using this forum, something that y'all will never have the guts to do. Appreciate her actions and keep ur negativity to urself please.
absolutely valid argument.
Ur a big fool, ur such an animal , senseless fool for calling her that name, who are you to judge her,na people like you rape 5 year old baby taut , monkey, ezi,udene, ashawo, i wish i can see this fool now kaii . U get luck.
GO stella!!!
God bless you
patience jonathan is a stupid woman

We can all come on linda's blog to commend stella and pure out our mind but the *QUESTION is WHAT ARE U READY TO DO TO DEFEND YOUR FUTURE AND YOUR RIGHT*
I REST MY BRAIN
shout out to those of you who had tears in your eyes while she was ranting! Your tears were in vain.Why?
1) Cause there is no bill been passed on child marriage
2) some senators tried to "Amend" the law on marriage by putting an age to it but their voice was overpowered by their Northern counterparts (dats democracy 4 u)
3) We keep citing Yerima's 13yr old bride as an example, guess what? she is Egyptian!
Finally, we should channel our angers to "war against rape". That way we can protect the girl child today and when she's in power, she might enact changes for what we are blindly crying about #childnotbride
Its simple;
A man violates ur daughter + obviously she said no to the act= Rape
A man violates ur daugheter, he argues she consented= rape
A man marries ur "4 year old daughter" + you can prove she did not consent to the act= Rape.
This should be our fight.
My name is Awhy and I say "Mothers, keep your children!"
I am a muslim but that act is a stupid one indeed, why are they misquoting ALLAH's words and the HOLY BOOK leave them cos many of them will rot in jail, as for the law amendment just for the sake for someone to live ba? that person will die one day and face the WRATH OF GOD, as for the BAD politicians leave them they are the ones who ALMIGHTY HAS CHOOSE TO LEAD ASTRAY if they don't repent now their hereafter will be FIRE FOR A START, AS FOR US LETS KEEP ON PRAYING FOR THIS COUNTRY COS I BELIEVE ONE DAY NIGERIA WILL BE DIVINED! ITS WELL WITH OUR SOULS IN HIS MIGHTY NAME.
Pround of stella for this. Omotola, what do you have to say about this???
Castrate them for God's sake.
To all the foolish commenters, talking about this ladys personal life, you are all the beginning of the problem. Ignorant Nigerians, always eager to criticise and gossip about meaningless things... if your mouth is so big and you are so disgusted by things that are wrong, should you not be standing up and talking for the voiceless??? every single person who wasted their time to write about her personal life, is a disgrace to the nation, is partly responsible for the fate of these children. How can a person boldly take a stance and rather than foucs on the issue, and think of what you can do, you are sitting there insulting a person brave enough to do something.
NOTHING IN NIGERIA WILL CHANCE TILL WE LEARN TO STAND FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, STOP BEING DISTRACTED BY MINDLESS GOSSIP AND DO SOMETHING, IF NOT NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE.
I concur with you Stella.Where are the other celebs? We apparently not asking for a fundraising ish this time, we need you guys to voice out asap. Thunder fire those RANDY Senators and their generations. It sounds appalling and repulsive big time. 1st lady whr u at? cme shw ursef now..
i support this argument a 100 times! do not judge Stella Damascus. let he without sin cast the first stone. she's supporting a good cause lets join her. she spoke well. all these senators are just useless. now wole Soyinka can speak, patience Johnathan can speak. let all these senators stop thinking with their anus and think with their head.
Omotola spoke against this...Nigerians wrote that she was 16 wen she started dating, so she has no right to talk about it....
Stella spoke against this...Nigerians wrote she is a husband snatcher...
When can we actually ever unite in this country against a clear wrong ish like this???? Whats the different btw the foolish commenters and the senators???? MADDDDDDDD

shameless old animals.how many of their 13 years old are married.animalsssssssssssssssss
do no judge Stella Damascus. let he without sin throw the first stone. she is speaking the truth. just listen to what she is saying and forget about what she has done in the past. now, wole Soyinka can speak. patience Johnathan can speak. those useless senators will definitely be punished. this is shameful indeed.
Some people can be stupid sometimes. It pains me that some unidentified idiots will leave d issue at hand to talk about husband snatching. Wot d hell has it got 2 do with #childbride#? Instead of u 2 channel ur smelling energy to fight for these kids who may be victims of these menace, u r fighting Stella who came out openly to condemn these barbaric act. Shame on u. Ride on Stella. The Lord is ur strength.
whatever if she is acting , she has passed the message, and yep shame on " the mother of the nation'
shameless old animals.how many of their 13 years old are married.animals.good question stella, u said it all .dont we have first lady,governors wives an female senators?.
OMOTOLA''S COURAGE I THINK IS WHAT HAS ENCOURAGED HER COLLEAGUES TO NOW COME OUT AND SPEAK. KUDIS STELLA THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL LIFE WE DEAL WITH THAT LATER. WHERE ARE THE OTHERS CELEBS? AS SHE SAID THAT PROMOTE THEMSELVES AROUND THE WORLD ?...YOU KNOW YOURSELVES.
shameless old animals.how many of their 13 years old are married.animals.good question stella, u said it all .dont we have first lady,governors wives an female senators?.
prince charming or what eva u call ur self, i believe you need to get an education . we are not talking about admiration here but we all need to stand up like stella for what is right period. no religious practice is above the law.if its worng its wrong.
Wait, so because Stella is involved in a sordid affair with someone else's husband means her voice against the child marriage issue isn't hard hitting? That makes no sense.. Sorry!
Send ur LIBERS to bomb this blog lol
www.agegebread.blogspot.com
cos they have written about u
Wow.....stella am so proud of you. I stand with you in standing for truth.
Stella may not be holy but tell me who is. you? me? NO! she may be a slut or a husband snatcher as alleged. but how many people has her actions affected. 8? 9? 10? maybe more but this law on the other hand will affect 167 million Nigerians. Refusing to marry your child from 13 will become breaking the law. Marriage will now be by force. This is national matter, so channel your voices to what can affect you and I. What is your priority? Stella's personal wrong deeds or the message she stood up for in this video? #CHILDNOTBRIDE #GIVEACHILDAPENANDNOTAP***s
Some of you who were crucifying Stella I know you lack wisdom and understanding. Someone will wake up one day and will post something to tarnish someone's image on the Internet and will just be accepted by fools. Stella did not snatch anybody's husband, she still married to her hubby. The story is absolute lie, so, stop spreading rumors before the wrath of God fall on u.
My dear Stella you have said it well. Well done.
All of you who are criticizing have no shame. she has come out to protest, what have u done?..rubbish..when u become a celebrity then u tell us how easy it is to be one..i'm proud of her and love the fact that she doesn't listen to what cruel people like u have to say, she wud have gotten a heart attack by now..God Bless you Stella.. #ChildNotBride
You all chastise Stella for her misbehaviours in her personal life yet she stood up for her country while the ones you all classify role models are turning deaf ears to an issue that should be unheard of and arouse so much anger in them. whether na act or script, she wasn't ashamed to show her face, call names and stand for what is right for Nigeria, she was no coward and i applaude her for this. #herooftheweek
i think stella she's stupid what is her concern with islamic law. shez such a stupid, scum,useless, asshole, fucking bitch idiot girl. just look at how she is. shez jst like a piece of rotten meat
Well done Stella!!! For all those jobless fools insulting her for her marriage. please do a tape of your self fighting for our own nation. Please try to embrace the value we have instead of pouring out your frustration on her.Stella has done well. We love you. Linda please post my comment.
I had goose bumps all over my body while watching this, our leaders are really shameless upon the level of corruption in the country this is what they sit with their pot bellies and deliberate about what a shame. God bless you Stella let our so called 1st lady sit there this is a fight that she should stand up and represent women,mothers but our 1st lady would rather be involved in matters that has nothing to do with her.
Give a child a PEN not a PENIS.
i knew u will not post my comment.but am warning again leave men of GOD alone,concentrate on ur work.stop sending text mesgs to pastor chris request millions of money or u join other journalists to tarnish his image & vision.GOD is *watching*.i thought is only dis rubbish blogging dat's pays u not knowing u are involving in dirt binez & blaspheming.if like don't post again as usual,so dat ur readers will not know what u're into.
Stella I respect you for this. Thank you for speaking up and against this nonsense. Non of use is without sin., but we cannot sit idle while a great evil is in our mist. Devil great distractor you are a liar.
All this energy wasted on a misinformed public. Why so ignorant Nigerians.
Stella I stand with you. God bless you and yours
When I heard about this I laughed... I thought it was just Nigeria being silly... Buh now I am a 17 yr old girl n I dnt want to be bundled up in marriage, talk more of a 13yr old who knows less n hasn't seen anything yet in life.... I have a lil sis who is 10 n this makes me fear... They want to ruin our lives b4 we get a chance to start it... They want to kill our spirit n make us slaves.... N just 4 what? Some old men that want small children in their beds to molest n violate without getting into any trouble... Instead of senate to use that time n study the leading countries of the world n copy d things they did to become strong n gr8 they r looking 4 lives to ruin n children to destroy....

Nigerians stop the 'husband snatching' insult and face the issue at hand.
This woman deserves an award for standing up to speak and with a face accuse our so called 'women in power' eg. Patience, Ngozi, Diezie etc to take charge do their job.
How many of you can stand up and directly accuse the 1st lady like she did...abeg make una go hug transformer
God bless u Stella damacus. am proud of u. No to child marriage!!! Am ashame of Nigerian senators.
With her last statement, she knw many people will insult her with regards to her recent marriage but guess what,SHE DOESN'T CARE!!!
Nigerians let's focus on this issue and deal with, let's tell Jona and his boys that we are not fool's who would eat any rubbish they spit out...abeg!!!
#JUSTME and for the record..am not a fan of Mrs Stella just an objective reader.
Anybody that criticizing Stella Damascus based on this issue must be a fool and perpetrators of evil. Nigerians should stand and fight for the right of their children even the unborn ones.
Nice one Stella.
OMOTOLA POSTED A COMMENT ALREADY O. WAY BEFORE STELLA'S MESSAGE.
Every society should protect the weak (children and women) What would we have become if we throw our female children to the beds of old pedophiles?
Regardless of if Stella is acting or not, I am glad to see her passionate condemnation of this bill.
We should all condemn it in anyway we can.
Stella has done her bit. Have you done yours?
wow... I salute Ur courage, plz keep it up
I refer to all you Sabi Sabi distractors to Sani yerimas speech in favour of under age marriage . Published in The proudly Nigerian. When you have finished studying it and the hidden message it carries, come back to this blog and tell us we are shouting for notting
wow... I salute Ur courage, plz keep it up
we should not bring in personal beef about Stella. lets face the issue at hand about this nonsense of the senators. Nigerians we must stand as one the fight corruption.
Your just as shameless as those paedophile senators have you removed the speck from your own eyes you religious hypocrite I assume your a supporter of underage marriage and pedophiles. Stella is standing up for what she believes
Please people leave the name calling for now... Stella is trying to fight for a good course. Husband snatcher or not. She did not put a gun to the man's head to leave his wife... It's her life. Please let's concentrate on the matter at hand... Lets say no to cradle snatching and child abuse....
stella shut up abeg, it shldnt even come from you...ASHEWO GRADE 1
To everyone who posted and still posting comments; and indeed all Nigerians, It is not about Stella now. We all have our shortcomings although, husband snatching and its ally (if proved) are not the best to be involved in. They are equally shameful and distasteful. However, TRUTH must be said that NIGERIA IS NOT AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY; it is secular in nature borne out of our respective choices and there is nothing anybody can do about that. To this end, nobody, I repeat, nobody has the right to lord one religion over any other. We have all shown understanding arising from mutual respect, by agreeing that both Orthodox and Sharia Laws can be accommodated and if under your own law, it is permitted to marry an underage girl, so be it but that should not be made to be a Law for the entire nation. No, it is not acceptable. By the way, why will the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria get busy in a subservient issue. What about all other more important national issues? I want to restrain from thinking (rightly though) like others who must have degraded the Senate, hoping as I do, that they will listen to voice of reason because one person does not dig a grave and clear the earth therefrom neither does an egg has hair strands.
What does husband snatching have to do with this issue? Do u want to compare husband snatching to pedophilia ? She is here speaking on behalf of children who do not have a voice and all you can do is point a finger at her life and mistakes. Like all of you are perfect. If they could put a camera on your lives, we would see much worse things.This mentality is the reason why Nigeria is still the way it is. Rather than facing issues head on, we choose to use our stupid judgement to cloud issues. Maybe when u are given an option of someone snatching ur husband or wife or marrying your 6 years old daughter, you would choose for them to marry your child. Idiots.
Why are the deviation from the subject matter and cursing out Stella? The last l checked husband snatching involves two consenting adult , but infant and cradle snatching in the name of marriage is not. This men a perverts that needs to be stopped. The best we can do is lend a voice like Stella did, not an insult. Am not a big fan of Stella, but the issue at hand is not about her, it's about a girl child whose life is about to be put on the line by our miserable, irresponsible lawmakers.
Our senate did not pass a bill on early marriage what they did was; The senate voted on section 29 (4) (B) of the constitution which talks about if a person wants to denounce their citizenship the person should be 18 but a woman who is married (irrespective of her age - emphasis mine) shall be deemed of age. Finish oh. This law has been there for 14 years, because the senate didn't remove it in the current constitutional review, it has become a problem. But, I understand that this part of this constitution not being removed has implications as though it is agreeing that girls below 18 can get married and it will not allow sections in the Child Rights Act to go ahead

Never mind, just remember that recently, the Senate President said that no country fights a second civil war and survives it. A lot of things are testing and insulting our sensibilities!
WOW... I salute Ur courage, Plz keep it up
Wow... I salute Ur courage, pls keep it up
dear LIB readers, I understand the issue about religion, and obeying God's command. i have a little question for all in support of this barbaric act. if we all claim that whatever religion we follow is true and has the right message, i beg to ask "DID WE ALL GET THE MESSAGE?". do we all critically understand what the message each religion is founded on? if your religion is based on any other thing than Love of God and Love of neighbor, then u are on a broad long thing.
I salute your courage Stella! Why do we all still live in cowardice? Speak your mind! We are here to fight the stupid bill... You are here criticizing what a courageous person has put forward, under the guise of 'Anonymous'. Nigerians always have issues but, instead of find solutions, they lay back shamefully pointing out silly things about a person helping the situation. Is that the solution to our problems?? Leave Stella's personal life out of this and lets all grow up an sort this issue out as a nation! In other news.... Shame on all those abusing her! You all are no different from the Yerima pervert! I stand strongly with you Stella! We need more courage like this!!! Lets fight this! Lets fight corruption!!!
i personally feel that nigeria should just stop running on biblical and islamic laws. Second of all she should call the names of the senators and not group them all together, some of them actually get sense, it was not all of them that brought out this stupidity
Shut u stupid mouth up dis is not about stella but about underage marriage..focus on d issue at hand n leave d criticism for once.
15 gini? Common go to bed!
Stella, abeg return the husband wey you snatch. There is no amount of humanitarian work you do that will put you in the good book of man and God, until you do the needful. Her secret tears and pains will start hunting you very soon, so pleas return the man to the rightful owner!
All na wash. Go and return Doris' son.
ALL WAT SHE SAID IS FACT,BUT SHE IS ALSO A DISGRACED TO D COMMUNITY.
I'm writing this to ENLIGHTEN everyone speaking up against child marriage. some have called those carrying the #childnotbride campaign IGNORANT as the issue is not underage marriage but who is allowed to renounce their Nigerian citizenship. Well I must admit that some people although their hearts are in the right place are misinformed. Well not all of are "ignorant". We know what we are saying.
The bone of contention is there already exists a bill in our constitution that states that anyone over the age of 18 is allowed to renounce their Nigerian citizenship. Then a subsection goes further to state that anyone who is married(regardless of age) is deemed "of full age". Now the senate house decided to amend this bill to remove that subsection. But pedophile yerima objected citing that Islamic law allows for girls of any age to be married and then termed "of full age" so the removal of the clause will be going against Islamic law.
So why this clause should be removed is that it adds grease to the elbow of underage marriage. The bill already states that 18 yr old and above can renounce their citizen ship so the sub section stating that anyone who is married is deemed of full age confirms that there are people in nigeria that are not upto 18yrs but married and then further goes on to say that the country condones these marriages And will allow such children to participate in "adult activities" like renunciation of citizenship. But this goes against the child right act that states anyone over the age is a child and will not be allowed to be married
Now OUR argument is that we do not accept that ppl under the age of 18 should be married and hence we will not allow any bill that states or implies that we do. Our little girls should not be married to yerima and his likes so we say NO. THE BILL SHOULD BE AMENDED because nigeria is not an Islamic country.
Stella, please check your own life first, husband snatcher!
Stella dis is a just fight as a woman and mother I stand with you. We can't wait for the second coming to fight this evil, no one is without sin. The sin is sitting by and watching while innocence is corrupted. He dat is without sin is Christ.
Stella de ole husband. The law of karma will visit you soonest, remember the "constitution of nature" cannot be changed.
event the little children marriage is not safe as long as stella damascus is around lol
This is absolute nonsense!. Powers in the world should pleaseeeeeeee come to our aid and help in stopping this child abuse. Come to think of it, maybe it's time the North go their separate ways.The idiot South Senator in support of the stupid idea should bury his head in shame. Women in the senate, you are all a disgrace to the women fold.
Mumu...we are talking about the country here,the constitution of the nation which will affect everybody regardless of your religion.
We all have to fight this!
U r a big foo!l
God Bless STELLA, i support you! And for those of you calling her a husband snather, did she snatch your own? you all shall be called names too even when you do something right.
Hypocrites!
All these people calling Stella names. I don't see any of you spare heading a campaign to stop this bill. Even if u do, are u without sin. I wonder if u are peodophile in disguise hoping to distract from the main issue by starting a smear campaign on this courageous woman. Nuisance!!.

Well,Said Stella....Dos of us closer to d reach of our government,shld speak up for us Nigerians.
LINDA,
THIS Issue is too serious for you to allow your commenters make it about Stella or write their normal nonsense.
Fighting against something sometimes means using ALL you have to fight. You moderate comments for a reason, right? NOW is the time to moderate the hell out of comments. Please use your platform to push AGAINST this travesty.
@prince charming u should ashamed of urself, are we discussing Stella or the issue of child marriage? what has her admiration got to do with the bone of contention?
also, those calling her aristo, she is an adult and can sleep with whoever she decides to sleep its not u people's business! she isn't under 18, she is old enough to make decisions for herself! She has spoken well and I admire her courage.
Y did he marry her? To provide a playmate for his kids? Abeg keep ur hypocritical mouth shut.i believe u are among those in support.fool.
I have tears in my eyes now for Nigeria! Is this country safe to raise kids anymore?
Every mother should be angry at this because when you imagine the labor pains you went through you will not want a child going through that in the name of religion.
You just showed how shallow you are with dis statement.
Good one Girl, am with you on this one.
How will this country move forward when all we like to do is point fingers with no action. Here's Stella screaming to the world about the wickedness of our nation overflowing and all you can do is insult her. So what if she did something wrong? Is that the issue here? Or maybe that's more important to you than the small girls who are about to be sold off to disgusting oafs like those Senators and their colleagues. I don't care if Lil Wayne or Leanne Rimes comes out to talk about this. It is time for these hardened criminals ruling our country to feel some shame. And all these their globetrotting children eating our nations money should just know. If our children are fair game, so are you. I will not hesitate to shame you into shaming your parents.
Stella may lack the basic moral etiquette (at least to some people) to put mouth in such issues, i strongly believe she gets this one right.
Child marriage is despicable, we must jointly condemn it. It poses a lot of health risk to the juvenile girl if she get pregnant as well as to the infant if she eventually born the child safely. here are its health risks according to unicef
See the hypocrites. Two consenting adults can't be together, because in sine out dated inhuman book it claims to say so, but the leaders back a move to legalize under age marriage.... supported by theological statutes. If you're all so pious, why are you complaining. Mixed up priorities.
looking for cheap popularity..she's only taking advantage of the situation to regain importance.. people had better not fall for her fakeness.. like she cares
You are in point Bloglord. How old is the baby that she took away from the mother? It's all the same thing. Stella when you take away a young child from the Mother, what is it called? Am sure she wants to seek asylum with this acting. Please give Doris back her son. Thanks
This is just it.
Husband Snatcher or Not! Stella has spoken very well! Are u without sin??? At least she doesn't pretend! Since when did dating someone's 'ex' become 'snatching'??? Stupid Nigerians..... Did Dorris tell u she's still with the man in question??? Any fool that's without sin should pls answer me @zero tolerance
This is fight to finish, i am a mother as well, how some bunch of Animals ...called them self Senators...sat down and legalize under age marriage...Dem...God will punish all of you, thunder will strike all of you that agree on this issues down...Stella you have spoken..we are solidly behind you. God bless you.
@prince charming, for GOD's sake shut up please, we have been feeling the pains here from UK, just to see another Nigeria like you say something from no where........grow up man
Nigeria is a failed Nation, and The Youth needs REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for doing your bit, the most important thing is that they wont listen cos the time for second coming of Christ is any moment from this second.
Stella spoke with great ardor... She's got my ovation
Ok! M sowi 2 say dis buh wah u rote now aw does it make sense pls????? We tlkn bout undaerage marriage u tlkn husbnd snatching... she did wah ws nt ryt soooo shey u beta pass er ni??????
Rejoinder to 'ChildnotBride': Dear Nigerians, let us try to ascertain the true position of the law before we rise up to fight. There is no bill pending before the Senate to amend the marriage age of a child, what is before the Senate is a bill for the Amendment of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999.The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Section 29 sub section 4a states that 'full age' means the age of eighteen years and above;'. However, subsection 4b then goes ahead to state 'any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age'. What the senate is trying to achieve is to amend the constitution by expunging this subsection 4b because it gives room for anyone to marry an underage girl and she instantly becomes an adult under our existing laws!!! So please let us join hands and support those Senators who wish to expunge this particular subsection. Senator Yerima on the other hand is fighting to keep this subsection as is. The Child Rights Act enacted by the National Assembly already stipulates the age of marriage as 18 years, however, the jurisdiction of the Child Rights Act is limited to the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, what we need to do now is to mount pressure on the states houses of assembly to domesticate the provisions of the Child Rights Act by enacting the Child Rights Law for the respective states. Lets fight for the right cause. The future of our daughters is at stake.
