A photo of the souvenir celebrating the union between an old man and a little girl from the northern part of Nigeria recently got people talking on social media.
A photo of the couple’s wedding calendar was shared on Twitter after their marriage ceremony was held on Friday, Jan 22.
Though the bride’s age is not known, she looks very young while her groom looks old.
Many Nigerians on social media condemned the marriage, stating that it is child abuse.
See some reactions gathered by NAIJA LIVE TV;
@keisha__kawosha: “These people are sick to the brain.”
@mezie_obi: “The thing now is you don’t see this happening in rich northern families.”
@SamueloLadipo8: “We have never heard or seen children & grandchildren of Governors, Emirs, elites of the North given out in marriage to grandfathers & great-grandfathers. It’s hypocrisy to give out girl child in marriage. Northern Nigeria leaders are destroying the lives of their children.”
@Ubyudoh: “That little child needs help.”
@EmekaEzeanya: “My rage is that this is happening in 2021. These people are dragging us 100yrs backward.”
@AzeezEnesi: “Abuse… Child Abuse!!”
