Senator Yerima was interviewed this evening on Channels TV and he basically tried to defend his right to marry a girl child. As hard as he tried he still could not explain what makes a child matured or why it was right to give a 9-year old away for a wife.
He however said he had a
clinic in his state to solve the issues of the problem associated with children have
children. Dealing with the effect rather than the cause I and the interviewer observed. The cause is the child marriages.
The bottom line however as addressed by the interviewer is, Yerima
who some years ago married an Egyptian girl, must have decided to marry her in
Nigerian because the Egyptian law stipulated marriage age as 18-years.
This could very well have explained why he brought his child bride to Nigeria to be married. If he had married her in Egypt, he could have been prosecuted.

Deep down I guess he knows the truth but politics, sad politics is
causing his confuse state. The mixture of politics and religion is a bomb with only sad consequences.
