ReplyDeleteDis man is stupid.who want to hear u that one is ur business old fool
ReplyDeletehis face is so scary. poor girl her parents must be very mean. that many will bring problems for him. im sure that how he makes money for his living giving away innocent children. Sen Yreima is not a normal human being. God save him. at his age its a shame
ReplyDeleteAnd yet Muslim clerics in the south, deceiving themselves, go about harassing other ppl claiming their association with ladies in their 20s. I so hate the guys.
ReplyDeleteplease asked YERIMA where he got the money for his ILLEGAL dowry? Is the money not from OIL money from the Niger-delta?...FOOLISH MAN. please let the country divide and let him go to his country. ABOKIs Republic.
ReplyDeleteingrates ABOKIs!, They should go and join their Islamic fanatic nations like Niger, chad, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan. More poverty for the ABOKIs. PERIOD!!
$100,000 for dowry. How Islamic?

ReplyDeleteI can see u have got what US have? You better stop comparing urself to US.
DeleteSince the Nigeria constitution guarantees total and absolute freedom to practise religion, then its ok for the traditionalists to carry out human sacrifice since thier religion permits it.
ReplyDeletesuch a lame excue. smh
The brains behind this are out there to exhibit selfishness. Some of those painstakingly elected lawmakers have motive so ulterior.
DeleteThe man is possessed or he want to use the girl for juju, Malaam with empty brain
ReplyDeletei think we are all staring at a Metamorphosed form of slavery. Clearly $100,000 is not a bride price but an obvious selling price. How do you stop this form of slavery when it is legalised under the pretext of marriage because in both situation you get to own the person for life. what is more astonising is the brazen defense he is putting up for his actions. In other civilized nations of the world this would be a political suicide for Yerima, but here we are busy engaging him in degrading arguments.God help our beloved Nigeria.
ReplyDeletepaedophile,lunatic...
ReplyDeleteWhile being the governor he chop some people's hand in pretence of sharia law, where do you get your money? If properly probed, you cant escape. Shd yr hand go for it? Yerima, yr answer will be allah kia ye, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteIf a man of this caliber could do this, what will he tell the children born by that woman? Its very disheartening to see all these happening in our time. Please Senator, could you please ask your mother how old she was when your father married her?
ReplyDeleteThis country really needs to split. Let d Northerners nd muslims marry continue to marry their daughters. Let them enslave their children into marriage. Let them
ReplyDeleteLet them remain illitrates and practise their boko haram religiously. Enough is Enough, let us all be answerable to our fathers name.it is time for Nigeria to split.
ReplyDeleteI agree with those that are saying it is time to split this country, let all the muslims and northerners go one side. as for the senator that is busy buying little girls for his rituals, he will answer to God for all his heartless and wicked deeds.
