ImageNigerian Bloggers, we have a SERIOUS PROBLEM.
The Nigerian Senate wants to amend the law that says a woman has to be 18 years old before she can get married.
Their barbaric logic is that a woman is “full of age” to marry regardless of her age.
After reading this.. I was like I am done, I am not Nigerian anymore.
I mean, what kind of foolishness is this?
Who came up with this foolishness?
Why is this foolishness up for discussion?

I mean, I couldn’t believe my eyes..
Nigerian government have gone nuts, if they think a female child as young as 10 years old is matured enough for marriage.

I mean, REALLY??? SERIOUSLY??

If you are a Nigerian Blogger..blog about this and get the word out to as many people as you can.
We can’t allow the Nigerian Senate to pass this barbaric law.
You don’t have to be a Nigerian blogger to help us.
Please, you can help by signing this petition here.

Please Help us to fight for the futures of young females in my Country.

GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Imagine, if Travon Martin was White?

racial_profilingIf Travon Martin was White, George Zimmerman could have been guilty on all counts.
Obviously, racial profiling is still a problem in this country.
Let’s be fair..
George Zimmerman got away with murder because Travon Martin was black.
Travon Martin’s case verdict  makes me concern for the future of this country.

One: Black Americans didn’t come here by themselves. White men went to Africa and brought them here. Blacks were slaves for hundreds of years. To be honest with you, blacks have paid their dues. Now, why can’t blacks, whites, and other races live in this country in peace?

Two: why do white people have so much animosity towards blacks?? Please tell me, what has a black person done to you lately?

I don’t have all the answers. You have to understand that someone’s little boy, son, friend, classmate and a citizen of this country got shot for what or could or would have happened. This country has done blacks WRONG for years. The strong measure their strength by fighting people of their size.

White and blacks fought together to defend this country. Why are blacks still hated? In short, why do you hate yourselves??

*I know this is a sensitive topic..racial profiling is an issue that can’t be sugarcoated. I will always stand up for Justice.*
