It keeps gathering pace and momentum. The protests and widespread condemnation of the decision of the Nigerian senators to pass a bill which makes legal the acquisition of child brides has been on the increase with notable celebrities such as Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Stella Damasus, Liz Benson & Stephanie Linus Okereke adding their influential weight against the bill. Awesome. And now it’s set to continue. 4 other heavyweights have joined the fray, and they aren’t just talking fire. They’re throwing punches, verbal punches. So ladies and gents, it’s with great pleasure that I introduce actresses Tonto Dikeh & Monalisa Chinda, movie director and intellectual,Charles Novia and comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka.
Below are their take on the issue. A lot of takes, actually.
Charles Novia
The movie man went for the argumentum ad hominem (attack on the individual), hitting the human facilitator of the controversial bill – Senator Yerima. In his words:
GOD PUNISH YOU, SENATOR YERIMA: I just read a purported defence of Senator Ahmed Yerima about the Underage Marriage bill he coerced his fellow dimwit Senators to pass into law. His lame excuses are as stupid as they are so archaic. A theory from a puerile mind: hiding under obtuse reasons to justify his sexual appetites through a Holy Law. This neanderthal Senator is a threat to National Security and National Unity. I hear he aspires to be the next President or Vice-President of this country, Nigeria. I can safely tell him that his aspirations will come to nought.
After amputating hands and legd in Zamfara State and shipping them to the South West to beg for alms in a suspicious Political Sharia atmosphere as proved by both President Obasanjo and Mallam El Rufai in his book, the dense Senator wishes to justify his actions by blaming it on a skewed lifestyle in a fictitious city wher he lives! I don’t know how else to answer the irritant Senator but to heap God’s punishment upon him and his ilk.
May your ambitions to have a paedophile-imposed state never come to fruition and may you and your ilk have your political ambitions castrated. I join millions of women in Nigeria and beyond to abuse you and your friends in the Senate. And I will join them to celebrate too when your bill never sees the light of day. And it won’t. Trust me. It won’t. So sue me, asshole.
Gbenga Adeyinka
The comic man stood with Novia on this one. Hitting straight at Yerima, and his Dad’s semen. Ouch. In his words:
“Good people, so sorry to disturb you this rainy afternoon. I just read the response from a truly sick Senator Ahmed Yerima, A second time governor, A two term senator and truly a pervert trying to justify Child Marriage.
“He says that child marriage is a solution to abortion and prostitution. I guess it also must be a solution to Embezzlement, Bad leadership, Insecurity and all the other problems that he and his type have heaped on our nation since independence.
“If it is not that I was brought up not to insult adults, I would have called him a sorry excuse of a human being and a waste of his father’s sperm but I will not.
“I will only end this by telling him that nothing he says can ever justify marrying a baby as a wife, even if he claims they don’t sleep with them at a young age.
“Since he likes Egypt so much, I will end this by praying that may the fleas of a thousand Egyptian Camels infest his pubic area and armpit.”
Monalisa Chinda
Silky as snow, sleek as gold, the fair-skinned beauty ran with her rant to twitter, where she kept it coming straight from her bleeding heart. A saint, this one. In her words:
I saved the best for the last. Mad as shit, Tonto Dikeh, aka Poko Baby was true to her style, rolling it fast, dirty and real from the angry depths of her lovely crazy heart. She speaks her mind, and me likey! In her words:
Na God Go Punish all this senators......
