| Stella / Yerima |
Nollywood actress Stella Damasus and
Senator Yerima were both guests on ‘The Stream’ a programme aired on
International News Network Al Jazeera. They went head-to-head on the
controversial issue of Child marriage.
Senator Yerima re-affirmed that he
married his fourth wife when she was 14 years and they both now have a son
together. He said he finds nothing wrong with his actions, claiming that his 14
year-old wife had reciprocated his feelings.
Stella Damascus counter-argued,
citing several Child rights charters signed by Nigeria concerning marriage and
the rights of the girl-child. She insisted that those breaking the agreements
should be labelled criminals and prosecuted.
