The vote they took was for whether the clause should be amended or it should remain as it is. It is the media & some twisted minded individuals with penchant for anarchy and unrest that came up with the entire idea that the Nigerian Senate has voted to peg female marriage age to minimum of 13years. The videos of the deliberation are available on youtube. <br /><br />Our youths, who happens to be the bulk of the social media users are lazy when it comes to reading & researching. I strongly feel it is the duty of the media to report accordingly instead of inciting divides. The need for our youths not to carry last on the social media has led many of them to following popular hashtags without necessarily knowing what it connotes. <br /><br />Please see the section of the constitution below<br /><br />The Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigerian Section 29 states;<br />(1) Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation.<br /><br />(2) The President shall cause the declaration made under subsection (1) of this section to be registered and upon such registration, the person who made the declaration shall cease to be a citizen of Nigeria.<br /><br />(3) The President may withhold the registration of any declaration made under subsection (1) of this section if-<br /><br />(a) the declaration is made during any war in which Nigeria is physically involved; or<br /><br />(b) in his opinion, it is otherwise contrary to public policy.<br /><br />(4) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section.<br /><br />(a) "full age" means the age of eighteen years and above;<br /><br />(b) any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.<br /><br />The subsection 4 (a & b)has raised an issue.<br /><br />Please how does renunciation of Citizenship relates with Early marriage of female child or "Paedophile" as been speculated by the media, because from my understanding on this section of the constitution, it is just giving conditions about renunciation of Nigerian citizenship.<br /><br />I want those who understand this better to break it down please:<br />Randomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279077841514762930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271918546193143884.post-88917371920105659082013-07-21T11:53:06.500+01:002013-07-21T11:53:06.500+01:00Lol @ 'obinrin agbalagba'Lol @ 'obinrin agbalagba'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271918546193143884.post-72806972462356859652013-07-21T09:16:54.149+01:002013-07-21T09:16:54.149+01:00Its so pathetic that the southerners who are fight...Its so pathetic that the southerners who are fighting this cause are not the ones as affected. This goes to show how much we are building our beloved nation. The northerners who are the most affected have voiceless women and mindless leaders. Their leaders want to continue enslaving them, as if it isn't bad enough for them to say education is evil now they've gone further to legislate perversion!!!!<br />Again, why would just one man continue to make a fool of all of us? Can't he be recalled from the senate??<br />So dishearteningOjay!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00182900589677042411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271918546193143884.post-70559603629682308372013-07-21T09:09:53.261+01:002013-07-21T09:09:53.261+01:00Very true.

Considering they're too cowardly to commit suicide, I await the awkward moment when they eventually rear their shameless heads as they gasp for breath. We'd be waiting. <br /><br />There's no time a woman is more desirable than when she hits her mid 20s all the way through her late 40s so there's 20 odd yrs of absolute pleasure, fun, intrigue, hurt and drama,...which in truth is the essence of being in a relationship. Let's ensure our girls under 20 get the best education and protection to prepare them for the "long and winding road" that is living in a relationship with the intention to raise a family.<br /><br />#ChildNotBride Okechuku Izeogu IInoreply@blogger.com
