In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King, Jr. | Posted: at 23-07-2013 10:04 AM (10 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. James Madison | Posted: at 23-07-2013 10:07 AM (10 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.

Sometime in 1993,I went to visit an Uncle in Kaduna,one day I accompanied someone to the general hospital at Kakuri,Kaduna.That was the day I saw for myself the evil of under age marriage.I saw many girls between the ages of 11 to 16,a number of them having a polythene sachet and a plastic pipe that runs into their private parts to collect the urine from their bladder which has become uncontrollable due to early pregnancies.These are the lucky ones.There there are the one that have not had this operation done to them,these ones are the really tragic ones,they cannot control the movement of urine out of their bladder through their urinary tracts,the result is that urine just flows from the honeypot uncontrollably.....and they smell terribly...the most tragic part of the whole story is that the men that put them in those situation have long abandoned them,the families of these girls also abandon them.I do not know the medical term for this condition,but I know it is a very terrible condition that results from CHILD MARRIAGES. | Posted: at 23-07-2013 10:24 AM (10 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

![-]( "emaakin") emaakin at 23-07-2013 11:02 AM (10 years ago) (m) Stella Damasus has every right to express her anger. It is a free world. I would like to hear the views of those female senators also? Now let us look into this case with less sensitivity. What is the age of consent in Nigeria today? Do some 12 year old girls have consenting sex in Nigeria today? If the answer is yes then what are you guys moaning about? If 12 year old girl can and will made love with her boyfriends what is then wrong with her marrying a man at the age of 12?
What are Stella Damasus views on 12 year old girls having protected or unprotected sex with her boyfriends? How old was her mother when she married her Dad? What is her view on prostitution, abortion and rape? Does she understand the damage these do to women generally? At what age did she start drilling men?
It is easy for her to use her fame to campaign for feminism, women rights and prostitution not knowing the ills of child and adult prostitution in Nigeria society today. If it is up to the girl to decide when to made love or not it is equally up to her to decide when to marry. It all depends on the family background. Passing a law doesn't mean mandate to force 12 year old girl to marry or made love. The education her parents and families provide to the girl will determine if the girl will be willing to made love or get into early marriage. It is not by force. My view is that instead of the girl to engage in prostitution, it is better for the girl to marry.
We have duties to preserve African culture, traditions and way of life. We shouldn't be importing the ills and sickness of the west to Africa because we don't have the law and resources to deal with it. I am not impressed with the level of prostitution in Nigeria today mainly from women from the South East.
Fool prostitution is every where not only in Nigeria... wake up.. Your stupid mama born you when she be 5years... mumu | Posted: at 23-07-2013 11:02 AM (10 years ago) | Upcoming | |
