BETWEEN STELLA DAMASUS AND HER FANS
Stella Damasus made a video expressing her anger over
the issue of underage marriage being discussed in the Nigerian senate. She was applauded by a lot of people for this bold move but also drew some criticism. Some said she lacks the integrity to criticize Senators. Read some of the comments after the cut...
MEMO TO AMERICAN SITE, SANDRAROSE.COM
I know one day some day, Sandra Rose of sandrarose.com, an American entertainment site, will read this. I opened your site today, as I do almost daily, and what I saw was beyond belief and quite disappointing. The caption of your post reads; New Nigerian Law Say Men Can Marry Baby Girls. I was taken aback by this caption because it is absolutely false. I went further to read the post and in it, you referred to the man in the photo above as 'Senator Yerima, posing with his child bride, left, and holding his baby bride.' This is another completely false reference! It's disappointing that you didn't even take a few minutes to get your facts on this sensitive issue right. That man in the picture is NOT Senator Yerima. 'And holding his baby bride'? That's not even a baby girl but a boy, SMH! You're a blogger with quite an impressive readership and you owe your readers the truth!
Yes, the new amendment in section 29 says that a married underage girl is now deemed to be a full adult in the country;
Section 29 (1) of the 1999 Constitution states: “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.”Sub-section (4a) states: “Full age means the age of 18 years and above”, while (4b) says: “Any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.”
Considering the power of the media, I personally appreciate a little research before writing on such sensitive political issues. Few seconds on Google and you would have gotten the right photo of Senator Yerima. I am not a fan of Yerima, infact I think very lowly of him but pls, don't paint a frustrating picture of Nigeria.
