The 2013 MBGN AWARD has come and gone. the organisers of the event
were the Silver Bird group. One of the VIP's that graced the occasion
was the nollywood lady-Omotala Jalade Ekehinde. She was given an award
by the silver bird group for her UNIQUE CHARACTER. During her
appreciation speech, she lambasted the Nigerian senate on their
underage marriage law. listen to the young lady's voice:
"Let me first and foremost thank The Lord almighty, my savior and help
for this award. Thanks also to Silverbird group the organizersof MBGN.
Thanks to my Wonderful Husband, Capt Matthew Ekeinde,my support and
Best friend who is also here tonight. I am Today one of the Most
influential person/people in the world because I wasn't given off to
marriage before
the age of 18yrs.
It scares and totally shocks me that the Senate in Nigeria (the most
populous black nation in the world and Giant of Africa) would not be
passing in a law ensuring that every child should compulsorily be
enrolled in school.
A very alarming number of children today are on the streetsHawking or
have been abused, raped or are married to men/women who should be
protecting them.
Who protects the children of Nigeria?
Would we wait for another Milala before we act?
Should we now remove the parental caution on movies that say " Not for
persons below 18″.
This is a call for justice and Equityfor children especially the
NigerianGirl child,who has the right to quality education, a childhood
andthe decision of whom and when tomarry.
My Name is Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and I say No to paedophilia and No
to the senate Bill endorsing Child marriage in Nigeria."
Do you have anything to say on this matter? Pls comment, you are a
Nigerian, and your voice does count
