While i don't condone the actions of the state and their decision to marry off these young girls instead of educating them, how is the north dragging Nigeria down? How?

I dont see FG soaking all its resources in the north that could keep dragging this country "down". If that's the case, if the north is a back water region of the country, then the south should look something like Dubai or Disneyland right now.

Thank you Adeola, you laid bare the long-term consequence of this marriage. All I could think of when I saw this news was, the continuation of generational poverty in these communities.
In Dubai, women drive taxi to transport female clients, which is empowerment, while in Saudi, girls are sent to acquire western education from united state, UK etc, also; avenues have been created to attract tourists through boxing, formula 1, and etc....
I got emotional and teary watching those girls. Oh what a life. I was in the lunch room one day when 3 junior high girls (2 whites and 1 biracial) came to do a podcast assignment. They were talking about marriage and then went into child marriage and they mentioned a country in West Africa that has the largest data in child marriage and they mentioned Nigeria. In all the countries in the world, my country was mentioned. I was just there looking and embarrassed. What a time to live in.hmmmmm
It's normal for old enough to be a young adult's mother or grandma or elder sister to have those tears of joy seeing young ladies get married. This is far better than the so-called educated independent woman with high body count, many of them single mothers crying fouls instead of being happy that young ladies have homes. The men they are talking about, many educated South-Eastern women can't wait to become 4th, 5th, 6th, ... 10th wives to those of them with money like Atiku, Adeleke, etc. etc.
What a shame? how can grownup men gather to arrange marriages to stop them engaging in fornication. this meeting could have made sense if they had joined hands to empower those beautiful girls, give the small courses, sewing, knitting, cooking, hair dressing, caring of children, etc.
i schooled in niger state, fornication in niger state is of highest order. even after marrying those girls the rons will still continue, they go as far as charming those young girls. all the same its poverty that caused such drama
It's rather unfortunate how misplaced priorities is ravaging our dear Country, the negative impacts of this can be evident in different sectors of our country. And for those holding on to Culture and religion please just know that the whole summary of our beliefs and culture revolves around "What you won't like others to do to you, do not do it to others likewise" with this phrasal summary in mind I don't think those Imams and legislators would have allowed such practice done to their biological daughters, what a wicked and self centered world😢😢😢!
This can only happen in the northern part of Nigeria.I am cock sure, NO Yorba or Igbo girls will accept this. It will take like forever before you can even gather 100 Yoruba or igbo girls. You would rather find them in schools, learning trade, farming, trading or in abroad struggling to survive. The other time I met a n Hausa man from Bauchi who sells tiger nuts in Lagos. He told me, he has 2 mathas ( wives) and 11 children in his hometown.
An ibo friend told his husband has multiple girl friends. She was so mad as treating African men as animals. I told her to get out of this she said she couldn’t some of her kids were at the university at that time.
This is madness, for the fact that these girls are being empowered shows that something is fundamentally wrong. Is that how they will keep empowering everyone in Nigeria, what about those in the South or North-east, or even all over Nigeria that has people in 10 years relationship because dem no see money start business to sustain marriage?
Honestly Adeola, if she wants the best interest of these girls, what we would do is ask them, "if they really want to get married" or want to go to school " or learn a trade or skill of some sort.. their rights as a human being is what should be considered, they are not objects without feelings you know. Marrying them off won't solve any problem rather it will reproduce a cycle of such again and again, the same reason why we have them around in the first place will be multiplied over and over. Am just tired of this country sef. 😢
This is disgusting. The level of control displayed here is just terrible. Where can an African/Black girl go on this world and be empowered? Is there a place that doesn't attempt to control the African/Black women? This is beyond annoying. Where is our right to self-determination as women of our various communities?
This is simply the level of illiteracy affecting the state in particular and Nigeria in general. Can't they figure out where those girls can be empowered through better education and professional training to improve their scope of survival in this modern world .

This is really terrible. But why would these men not be passionate about condemning the actions of the women affairs minister? Who knows if they are benefactors of the mass wedding too. But why is the Minister even giving all these to the girls since they are supposed to be married off to Men
Regarding the child brides; this and instances like this are the reasons why we are severely criticised by the international community as being backward.

This is not really about culture but more of the dark side of the kind of religion practised over there. It is shocking on how the minister pandered & cowered into submission. Perhaps to save her position. Honestly and unfortunately, the Islamic northerners are largely the drawback of Nigeria going forward. This is why they would always prefer any person that would allow them practise their religious almost like in medieval times over a person that make the nation prosper. If you look into the arrangements, you will see that many of those girls are married off to very older men in addition to the ones they have. In the end, the incompetent Federal Government (FG) doled out gifts and other benefits to pamper & encourage them. But this same FG cannot throw support to other regions of the nation that have industrious young ones who are determined & ready to create wealth and contribute immensely to the prosperity of the land.
I wonder if they would have done the same with their own daughters or nieces, but it's always alright as long as they are other people's children. All those kids need is proper education and training, which is lacking in that part of the country, God help Nigeria.
I hope the minister is ready to keep doing this. Many more girls would be ready to marry based on cultural and religious practices and not necessarily to improve the lives of the people. Shalom 🙏
I’m from Niger state and I actually stay there. The house member helps pay for orphanages wedding quietly. Some girls came to ask for help to get married in mass and the malams and even lawyers were called to make sure everything was on legal side contributions were also gotten. My point is it wasn’t just something they woke up n decided to “forced” to marry. Those women actually “asked” . I say leave that which does not concern you.
All of you are the same. Well you are from there now. But to say it doesn't concern those speaking against it, it does because when it is reported all over the world as is the case now, the name "NIGERIA" will be mentioned and that is the ugliest and most shameful and we are being associated with some abominable things like these, because NIGERIA will be mentioned! That is why, CHIEF IMMAM, it concerns us, the shame it brings to NIGERIA, and by extension, Nigerians, you know!
This is so unfair to these women. Education is best thing you can offer anybody especially women, if women are educated they will educate their children. Years ago when Oprah Winfrey asked President Mandela of South Africa what she can do to help South Africa , Mandela told Oprah Winfrey that help educate the young women they will educate their children , so this man what these young girls to get married and destroy their future God is watching
There's is a part of Nigeria who does that. They r d one who kept Nigeria backward . They have no brain all they know is to pack women in dozens under one man bcos they practice Islam. Oh I hate that religion with passion n I pray it is destroyed out of d world bcos is totally not a peaceful religion
Northern Nigeria will continue to remain poor, because they give priority to Islamic culture and not education. The women are not economically empowered to engage in any endeavor that will challenge their male counterparts. Economic empowerment coupled with education is a must for the women.
Lol? She didn’t even say she’ll cancel it. She halted it to investigate if the girls are of age, have consented, if the suitors are financially stable etc. I can’t believe this man.
What a shame!!! We are in a malady. We're raising a bunch of lazy people, this is what the speaker and imams should have done first not the minister of women affairs taking a lead. Marriage is not a ticket to respect, we must break this religious improvishment.
I think both parties have their good points. The religious leaders believe in the ideas of being married to a (good) man who can take care of them and also empower them. While on the other hand the Government is also of the view of supporting these girls and empowering them outside marriage. But at the end of the day both parties met their intentions of empowerment support jointly toward these girls. Marriage and getting a start up.😂
....the minister is more wrong because she should have stood her ground instead of giving in...let all hell blow loose, the world will now know and she would have been an international symbol....she just blew an opportunity, she should have sacrificed her office for what was right...
If they had that kind of power then it meant that Sanusi also had power to do something about the system too but chose to talk alone. There is a lot of hypocrisy in the system being practiced apart from the talk, how many people did Sanusi empower when he was the Emir how many injustices did he fight ....

This same religion is working in Arab Emirate, Saudi Arabia etc. But a different kind of the same religion is what we have in Nigeria continuously setting the country back.
The northern should start learning from saudi where woman are being empowered and Allow to marry when they are sure they will be protected. This happening in Nigeria is failure of government and poverty level
Stopping the marriages should not be the priority, helping and ensuring that the girls are provided with necessary help to survive and thrive, in a culture that traditionally has never offered any options for girls to fully and independently participate in life to the best of their abilities!

@@mozeedodutayo1691you can be that Good leader. Stop the pretence
Since 1960 u re still searching for good leader's, u go wait tyer, expired country with looters, Nigeria no get meaning
This is really terrible. But why would these men not be passionate about condemning the actions of the women affairs minister? Who knows if they are benefactors of the mass wedding too.
But why is the Minister even giving all these to the girls since they are supposed to be married off to Men
And who told them that this marriage will stop the fornication? Dey play!!
Regarding the child brides; this and instances like this are the reasons why we are severely criticised by the international community as being backward. Can we honestly say that instances like this aren't a stain on our reputation? Tinubu was made fully aware of what was about to happen ...... and did nothing. Unbelievable. SMDH.
This is not Tinubu's business.
@@aishaahmed4553 : What are you talking about? Tinubu was aware of the decision to have a mass wedding of child brides. He is the president, commander in chief and has the executive authority to intervene in any decision that affects national affairs. If he wanted to, he could have supported those children ……. after all it is people like him and Buhari who are largely responsible for those females being orphans in the first place. Instead, while the country is literally starving, he sees it fit to subsidise to the tune of N90bn a trip to Mecca for Hajj and change the national anthem back to the one left by Nigeria’s colonial masters. The man is a monster, however he is the kind of monster that Nigeria deserves because people like you are either blind to what he is doing or you support his nonsense. SMDH.

This is not really about culture but more of the dark side of the kind of religion practised over there. It is shocking on how the minister pandered & cowered into submission. Perhaps to save her position.
Honestly and unfortunately, the Islamic northerners are largely the drawback of Nigeria going forward.
This is why they would always prefer any person that would allow them practise their religious almost like in medieval times over a person that make the nation prosper. If you look into the arrangements, you will see that many of those girls are married off to very older men in addition to the ones they have.
In the end, the incompetent Federal Government (FG) doled out gifts and other benefits to pamper & encourage them. But this same FG cannot throw support to other regions of the nation that have industrious young ones who are determined & ready to create wealth and contribute immensely to the prosperity of the land.
I don't understand why British joined northern Nigeria Muslim's with Southern Nigeria Christian's. two different ideology
They did it for their economic profits….and that’s when 9ja’s problems started.
So in Christian ideology fornification is encouraged
These people were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
I wonder if they would have done the same with their own daughters or nieces, but it's always alright as long as they are other people's children. All those kids need is proper education and training, which is lacking in that part of the country, God help Nigeria.
Please there are orphaned, indigent girls in Cross River statr too. They need to be empowered too. I can enumerate them and send to Minister Uju
I hope the minister is ready to keep doing this.
Many more girls would be ready to marry based on cultural and religious practices and not necessarily to improve the lives of the people.
Shalom 🙏
My dear God bless you
Those people you're talking about don't know the meaning of empowerment.
Some of these girls are sometimes abused by their would be husband
I’m from Niger state and I actually stay there. The house member helps pay for orphanages wedding quietly. Some girls came to ask for help to get married in mass and the malams and even lawyers were called to make sure everything was on legal side contributions were also gotten. My point is it wasn’t just something they woke up n decided to “forced” to marry. Those women actually “asked” . I say leave that which does not concern you.
Arewa alimajiri bokoharam get lost
All of you are the same. Well you are from there now. But to say it doesn't concern those speaking against it, it does because when it is reported all over the world as is the case now, the name "NIGERIA" will be mentioned and that is the ugliest and most shameful and we are being associated with some abominable things like these, because NIGERIA will be mentioned! That is why, CHIEF IMMAM, it concerns us, the shame it brings to NIGERIA, and by extension, Nigerians, you know!
Who are these leaders. Foolishness in high places!! What affairs?? This nonsense will not happen
This is so unfair to these women. Education is best thing you can offer anybody especially women, if women are educated they will educate their children. Years ago when Oprah Winfrey asked President Mandela of South Africa what she can do to help South Africa , Mandela told Oprah Winfrey that help educate the young women they will educate their children , so this man what these young girls to get married and destroy their future God is watching
I'm so ashamed of Nigeria 😢. Look at the kind of bill a speaker is proposing 😢
There's is a part of Nigeria who does that. They r d one who kept Nigeria backward . They have no brain all they know is to pack women in dozens under one man bcos they practice Islam. Oh I hate that religion with passion n I pray it is destroyed out of d world bcos is totally not a peaceful religion
"Can two walk together, except they agree?" Let us go back to regional governance, abeg
Stories out of nigeria are always sad!
Adeola you are really doing a good job, seriously this your job is very risky and you're taking it. Kudos
Comedy at its peak!
Nigeria is at best a loud joke!
This is what a failed nation has landed us!
they are the ones drawing us back and not even making us stagnant
Northern Nigeria will continue to remain poor, because they give priority to Islamic culture and not education. The women are not economically empowered to engage in any endeavor that will challenge their male counterparts. Economic empowerment coupled with education is a must for the women.
This is slavery, shame on all those involved. Evil people
This minister was bluffing,she dropped the case.Efulefu
This is disheartening I am so pained cause I grew up with this people it's well jor
Let’s stop calling child rape “marriage”. Words matter.
Lol? She didn’t even say she’ll cancel it. She halted it to investigate if the girls are of age, have consented, if the suitors are financially stable etc.
I can’t believe this man.
You want them to remove her from office ??
We were not supposed to be in the same country with this people. So sickening
This is a form of abuse & manipulation of women.
What a shame!!! We are in a malady.
We're raising a bunch of lazy people, this is what the speaker and imams should have done first not the minister of women affairs taking a lead.
Marriage is not a ticket to respect, we must break this religious improvishment.
I think both parties have their good points. The religious leaders believe in the ideas of being married to a (good) man who can take care of them and also empower them. While on the other hand the Government is also of the view of supporting these girls and empowering them outside marriage. But at the end of the day both parties met their intentions of empowerment support jointly toward these girls. Marriage and getting a start up.😂
What is wrong is wrong.. Let's not twist it.
....the minister is more wrong because she should have stood her ground instead of giving in...let all hell blow loose, the world will now know and she would have been an international symbol....she just blew an opportunity, she should have sacrificed her office for what was right...
Why ??in the so called civilized western world girls as low 8years are changing their genders 😮what about that??
WHY ARE THOSE UNEDUCATED YOUNG WOMEN BEING FORCED TO MARRY UNDER FORCE?
This is exactly what Emir Lamido Sanusi Spoke against with Alumanjeri caste system which led to his dethrownment.
If they had that kind of power then it meant that Sanusi also had power to do something about the system too but chose to talk alone. There is a lot of hypocrisy in the system being practiced apart from the talk, how many people did Sanusi empower when he was the Emir how many injustices did he fight ....
@@honeydamevents9130seriously, u know nothing. Go verify about him and besides, can one tree make a forest
This guys are unimaginable
Adeola I love you......God will continue to bless and perfect all that concerns you......keep calling out these fools ......God will bless you abundantly 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The most wicked country on earth gja, the mad North
Adeola check and see what Ghana government has just done for about 1000 girls from the north to the city to do head potter , the government has built a very hostile giving them good training of some trade and give them money to start their business after that . Kudos to Ghana government ❤
Why didn't they keep educating them?
It also prevents masturbation.
Emmanuel Ilok, a 17 year old girl, just got a scholarship to study software engineering. Northeastern Nigeria is interested in underage girls' marriage. Future disaster in progress; let the country separate now before it's too late!
The Imams already picked out wives for themselves
PI personally think is high time now for Nigeria to break up or go back to regional government so that any region can face their region problem
They are worst than bandits, BH and unknown gun men
I wonder how educated are Nigerians
Which educated? Talk about the part of the country this horrible evil is happening and don't generalize. Nigerians are highly educated people. What is happening takes place in the parts where they say that education is not good and you know where. Don't generalize please!
They keep pulling us back without bringing almost anything to the table
Nigeria is one big comedy skit.
Lol
Governor of Niger state spraying money on the street, what's the difference between the money Bobrisky spread at the party and this of the governor. Which currency comes out neater afterwards? Please country people look into this matter.
This same religion is working in Arab Emirate, Saudi Arabia etc. But a different kind of the same religion is what we have in Nigeria continuously setting the country back.
Facts
just one question for them, can they allow this happen to their children i guess we all know the answer
01:25 even in a cultural or religious perspective it still makes total sense.
Very soon children will start having children,God have mercy ooo
The poverty continues.
Religious sensitivity is high in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Adeola that is why I honestly want Yorubas be separated from this people, we are not in any way the same.
She has failed by compromising
The northern should start learning from saudi where woman are being empowered and Allow to marry when they are sure they will be protected. This happening in Nigeria is failure of government and poverty level
Stopping the marriages should not be the priority, helping and ensuring that the girls are provided with necessary help to survive and thrive, in a culture that traditionally has never offered any options for girls to fully and independently participate in life to the best of their abilities!
😂 that groom trying to encourage himself and colleagues by asking “are we not happy?” 😂 Kai shake my head
I tell you, some parts of the country seem determined to draw us backwards…
Adeola, do you have a second passport? Just worried because at this stage, Nigeria doesn't seems to be a country anymore
