Northerner Politicians and wealthy men will send their daughters to the best schools in the US/Europe and let them marry as adults.

Visit Abuja and see their daughters: beautiful, properly educated with fantastic English accents, with their small veils, enjoying their youth.
But go farther to Zamfara and you'd see a 16 year-old girl with pregnant while carrying a little baby. The wickedness

It reminds me of Fatima whom I grew up with as a child. She was one of the most Brilliant girls in class back then.

Used to work for an NGO that offers improved antenatal and postnatal care to pregnant woman and mothers. I had the chance to experience the rot of this child marriage firsthand.

You will find a 13-year-old child (I kid you not) seated at an antenatal class with her small body and bulging belly.

The hypocrisy angers. And how much power these cult of elites wield by mass impoverishment (knowledge and resources) of the North angers me.
