dear diary,
very shocking revelation as i stepped into the office of my boss to give a report only to see the famous Senator Yerima on TV! he was been interviewed by a fellow muslim whose 1st name i cant recall but surname is Ahmed, obviously, she is not a part of the crazy ideology of child bride and her questions even seemed 'personal' in Yerima's tone...one shameful thing i recall him saying is that 'even his 17yr old daughter is matured enough for marriage' and is getting married this month.. jeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz!!!!! lol.....who says that????? Snr Yerima, of course! what really is the criteria for leadership? because the senator actually said again that, 'if Mrs Ahmed, the interviewer, saw his daughter, she would even be the one to recommend that she got married as she looks really matured' leaves me wondering, does his definition of maturity for marriage have anything and probably a lot to do with looks, maybe boobs and ??? complete the rest.....this is amazing! what sort of leaders do child brides and mums whose youth are denied? this may have become a cliche in the ears of some of us now, but the time for us to keep talking till something happens is now..it isnt enough to make jokes and cartoons of the disheartening news.....news from Egypt, reveal that, child marriage is abominable so i guess the reason the senator is bringing his child bride home to Nigeria and trying to twist our law in his selfish interest....saddening...

I trust that we still have leaders and mothers who would do the right thing regardless...

God bless us all...
