Three years after marrying a 14 year old Egyptian girl named Marian, which was widely protested in Nigeria, former Zamfara state governor and serving senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed Yerima, has reportedly divorced her to marry a new wife. According to reports, Sen.Yerima and four men, said to be members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly were in Egypt a few weeks ago for the wedding fathia of a new bride said to be 15 years old.
Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is believed to be the daughter of the former governor's driver whenever he visits Egypt. The reason he divorced her is to enable him take a new wife as he's not allowed more than four wives.
The Senator is alleged to have married and divorced a few women in the last few years but has never changed his first three wives, only the fourth ones.
Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was strongly against the deletion of the section of the 1999 constitution which pegged the official marriage age in Nigeria as 18 year, saying it was anti-Islam.

Chai! Are you sure poster?
Politely done here. No need to send in the diatribes in later comments. See additional sites that reported the same story in my comments above. Not that I care about how many wives and divorces this man carries out. But I worry about how fellow Nigerians relate with and speak to one another because of real or perceived cultural, religious or ethnic differences.

When he decides to sue the owners of the blogsports, you will be sued along with them. Be prepared to pay 100m for damages.
Again, your comment here was 'too quick'. A little bit of knowledge of what the law says about responsible quotation of 'sources you have reasons to believe' would've guided you to make a different comment. Note that even a videotape under certain circumstances might not serve as sufficient evidence to prove a side of a story under the law. People quote to sometimes show they did not originate a story. The blogs I cited does not in anyway suggest that I'm saying I'm convinced of the unassailable integrity of the story. Happy surfing!
