BLACK COCKTALE

I wasn't even going to address this issue before but I better lend my voice.

Since the news about legalizing child marriage broke out, various comments have been posted and various points of views argued.

I'd divide the comments into two major parts: the people who support and the people who defend! Notice I didn't say ones against, I said the people who "defend"

Its very ironical that its most Christians that are establishing the fact that it isn't a religious fact. We have said that its just some few wicked men in power that are using religion as a cover.

But there are some few people who are giving flimsy and stupid excuses to defend the indefensible.

If you want your voice to be heard,why don't you speak for what is right? Must you give pointless arguments to post your name in the annals of record?

What kind of people would support paedophiles! Can you imagine the rubbish points they are bringing out: That some girls have become sexually active since they were 12, that some young girls "wait for 500 naira after they've been slept with and bla bla bla

The question is: The men who rape the girls when they're young, what rule or law is there for them to be castrated? The shameless old men who pay 500 naira to sleep with desperate girls, who have been affected by the negative effects of the negligence of leaders and all of us to the development of Nigeria, aren't they ashamed of themselves that they want to pursue this barbaric acts? 

Some even say we have the girls as house girls. They cook,clean and wash the clothes. It must be that the propounders of this "flimsiness" haven't had maids in their house for if they did have,they'd know that its the women of the house that tell them what to do and train them on how to act properly.

Furthermore,there are always people who would do bad things in a country; we can't all be good! But imposing this opinion from a bad egg is extremely not acceptable!

How dare you defend people whose only basis for legalising a demonic law is a religion that is not national?!

Its bad enough that these delusional men passed that law,its worse that youths sit at their computers and think with their legs supporting this rubbish! If you do not have anything sensible to say, shush your mouth!

I advised already that we should pray for this country! Instead of you to make arguments that are religious inclined, why not pray for this country! Why support men who do not have the fear of God? Are you blind,deaf or insensitive?!

Deep down inside you, you know its wrong. Thank God we all have that gumption! We know the truth but because of unhealthy bias, we close our hearts and ears to it! 

It doesn't make sense even in the ears of an house girl! If that's who you're "fighting" for!

 

This isn't the time to have those religious battles! It's a time to come together as one and lend our voices to stop these terrible law!

We will not agree to this wickedness!

 

Nigeria has sacrificed more men already: Boko Haram, Bad roads, infrastructural deficiency,we do not need this altar raised again!

We say NO!

We refuse!

I speak for women! I speak for the future! I speak for young girls! I speak for Nigerian leaders!

I, Tit'Oluwa Olumideko, say NO to child marriage being legalised!
