Kano State Government is sponsoring a matchmaking
scheme where single, divorced and widowed women can sign up to find husbands.
Over a 1000 women in Kano have joined the scheme and more than twice that amount
of men have applied to be given a wife.
After the couples pick each other, they will be allowed to court for just a few weeks after which they will tell the scheme organizers if they want to marry each other or not. If they agree to marry, then their names will be included in a mass wedding that will be held by the end of April 2012 and will be financed by the Kano State Govt.
But get this, after the wedding, if the man wants to back out of the marriage, the state govt will fine him N1.5m. So I guess for most of these men, this one na marriage for life!

where do u tink dis kind marriage go happen
ReplyDeleteSo long as both partner agree to marry & no force involved, i dont see anything wrong in it! infact this will reduce numbers of widows in our society & prevent them from engaging in any illicit act like prostitution or child labour in the name of seeking for money to survive, also make the men responsible..
ReplyDelete"Over a 1000 women in Kano have joined the scheme and more than twice that amount of men have applied to be given a wife."
ReplyDeleteThe irony here is that, contrary to a lot of what we hear in Naija, there aren't enough women to go around!
What crop of advisers do we hav these days? This amounts to a waste of time & gov't resources. If d woman moves 4 adjournment, wat is d fine?
ReplyDeleteOf course these people sponsoring boko haram knows that the ones that lost their lives in in the crisis has to be replaced that is why they are going into by force marriage, by the time they are bearing children there will be more boko harams but even if all the northers are going into marriage to produce more boko haram God will eliminate them all, no matter their vision and mission is, is this one a project Mr. Governor?
