Recently media have gone
agog with the news that Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi took an 18-year old
"wench" for a wife. What an insult! Is it now a crime to get marry to
a younger girl in Nigeria? When lady in question is 18 and therefore legally of
age to marry under all laws and certainly under Muslim law. What is a big deal
about all this even?
Tony
Anenih 81, aka Mr. Fix It, chieftain of the PDP, got married to young lady who
is in her early twenties, amidst pomp and pageantry, heaven never falls.
Billionaire
businessman, RazaqOkoya, hooked up with a younger wife known as Shade. The
couple whose union had produced four lovely kids, earlier got married in a
quiet ceremony years back before having an elaborate wedding not too long ago.
Also, the
Former Governor of Kogi State, Prince Audu recently got married to a far
younger wife who is an undergraduate of University of Jos .
Ok, let
me step-up, the paramount ruler of Oyo dynasty, Oba LamidiAdeyemi has shown his
brides and showcased his delectable young wives to world in a shopping spree in
UK as one of his ways of celebrating his 76th birthday recently!
Then what are
we saying here? The point is not whether
it's right or wrong. The point is, from the North to the South, West to East,
they all do it. “We should be less
hypocritical and stop feigning ignorance that we don't know that a lot of Nigerians
politicians’ businessmen, Christians and Muslims alike are CHEETAH--meaning
older men dating and marrying much younger women”.

Cool....,all the older women need to do is to become COUGARS too. I totally agree with u on this issue. A cougar is a woman that loves younger men. Our society need to embrace this idea to have equal playing field for all gender.
