Nada said she was forced to run away and live with her uncle after she was promised to another man.
"They told me that I am engaged, and that my fiancé had already paid them money and brought the engagement ring. They said that I couldn't leave and even threatened to kill me if I went back to my uncle. I'm not an item for sale, I'm a human being and I would rather die than get married at this age. I've decided that I have two choices: to leave or to die. So I chose the first" Nada said in a video that was released online July 8thNada's saving grace is her uncle who has refused to let her family marry her off. Continue...
Her uncle told reporters:
When I heard about the groom, I panicked. Nada was not even 11 years old; she was exactly 10 years and 3 months. I could not allow her to be married off and have her future destroyed, especially since her aunt was forced to marry at 13 and burnt herself. I did all I could to prevent that marriage. I called the groom and told him Nada was no good for him. I told him she did not wear the veil and he asked if things were going to remain like that. I said ‘yes, and I agree because she chose it. I also told him that she liked singing and asked if he would remain engaged to her.'
Rubbish...... those parents shld be punished or rather executed. Am happy d girl is safe. God protect her.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I just hope and pray dat the uncle wnt be murdered for trying to help protect ds lil girl by taking out of the way to perform dia evil enterprise!
DeleteUseless generation of perverts! Demons! Sick bastards!!!!!!
My dear linda...I hope U guys get ur facts right before allowing rumors fill the air...they never made the marital age open...they only classified "married women" as qualified to renounce their citizenship.
DeleteThis rumor/misconception is going too far,lets learn to use the media wisely rather cause unecessary damage,do U where this child-marriage issue cud lead,when the senate never actually pass such bill?
U r a fool for this comment! Pls show ur real self, I'l send men to rape ur sisters! Show urself senseless human

DeleteReally? Cintetic, you are casting the first stone? At least poverty is an excuse, what is the excuse in Nigeria that they have suddenly decided that it is lawful to marry off infants?
DeleteI applaud the little girl and her firm uncle
For heavens sake! How dose a grown adult look at a little girl like this and insert his dick in her for heavens sake! What is the world turning to! This is very depressing!

Oya proponents of child marriage over to you...lets hear your sick defence of letting your daughters go into an institution at an age the constitution says you are not even allowed to vote!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Nigerian legislators are reading this!
ReplyDeleteKudos my little sweet angel. Yes! Take a bold step, fight for urself. Just wish other kids will do same and together bring an end to this madness just like th abolishion of the killin of twins
ReplyDeletewell, we are facing that here already
ReplyDeletewell not in my wildest dream would i give of my lil child,even if its a law,na for dem pocket.
Deletegiving your child away for money will become the new trend in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteI posted a comment on this issue on the stella post but linda sacrificed it. Fight is inevitable we have to fight for our future God will not come down and talk to our leaders. Nations are fighting for their right eg usa(blacks), brazil, Lydia, Egypt etc but nigeria is hoping and waiting for miracle from God. This little girl fought for her right and she won while we are watching, praying and hoping.
ReplyDeleteI rest my case
Nigerians talk too much no action.
DeleteAnon 5:06pm, we're waiting for u to spearhead d fight. After commenting, make sure to come mobilize us and lead us. We're waiting for u

ReplyDeleteIt's not fake at all. Go to YouTube, u'll d video of this gorgeous articulate little girl. She intellectually sounds way ahead of her age. Thank God she was able 2 take a stand 2 run away from d nightmare of child marriage
DeleteOde, your mates in Egypt fought and overthrow a president, you are here saying a video is fake rather than fight for your country. Go to daily mail bush fowl and watch the video.
Deletei hope Nigerian senators can see this video and put a stop to underage marriage in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteNigeria here we come. This should not be allowed to legally materialise here. We have to do whatever we can to prevent selling our children into slavery.
ReplyDeleteFor those saying that this is an aboki issue please wake up to the battle that is being waged.
a beautiful girl, i love her brave act and thank God she has an uncle to protect her from her parents ridiculous decision.

ReplyDelete@ anon 5:30 pm Linda is at it again.......
ReplyDeleteIs it a crime to be a girl? But what is this thing with men and underaged girls? How mentally and emotionally stable is an underaged girl in terms of marriage. Demons everywhere! Pls let relevant organisations protect this young girl.
ReplyDeleteI commend the lil girl. Very smart and sensible
ReplyDeleteGood job uncle!
Say no to child marriage.
Too many perverts/peodophiles on the loose
Nigerian senators u wunt get away with ur life pension fraud and under age marriage....all of u have brought shame to this country.... and I trust d curses Nigerians av placed on ur heads will/shall/must never pass u old tins by......#splitonurfaces
ReplyDeleteAm sure even if our lunatic senators pass d child marriage bills to law, it will only work in d north, people of d south are too. Suffiscated for such nonsense. Children in d south will take dia destinies in dia own hand by rebelling against any parent dat tries to give dem out in marriage prematuredly.

ReplyDeleteOf all the issues around us why is child marriage the most important? Because they are satanic men and women holding power, we shud not only post on media but stand together in spoken of faith that every conspiracy against our dear land will backfire. I dash them plagues that will make all of them sexually dead that passed or was planning to pass such a bill. If they are not fighting shamefully, they are cooking eveil, even their linage to come Will be ashamed of them. Molesters in agbada and suits, perverts who pretend to be religious, let it be known you all will die like herod with maggots reducing them to nothing. Amen
ReplyDeleteGood cause but they have to leave Yemen fast! the parents will take it has dishonour and go after Uncle and daughter.
ReplyDeletethanks uncle!
