CHILD not BRIDE!!

Last week has been one of the typical Nigerian week. Many of us stood under rain or sun to vote for people who were supposed to speak for us and they decided that the girl child can be married off with no age restrictions, even if she is 3years old.
It does raise some concerns, do these people have daughters? are they all married now? How old are they? Would you marry your daughter off at the age of 5?
While this is still being discussed, let us not sit still and look on.
Your signature can change a little girl’s life. Let these children enjoy their childhood, playing in the sand, going to school like their male counterparts, grow up to become who they choose to be and settle with whom they choose. Let our voices be heard, if not soon, a rapist will decide to marry the little girl he raped. Our hospitals will be filled little girls suffering from premature pregnancy and other health risks. Let’s stop the exploitation before it starts.
Speak up for the little girls around in Nigeria.
