Follow @NigeriaPI tension is mounting in Bayelsa State over the abduction and forced marriage of 13 year-old Ese Rita Oruru by one Yinusa who resides in Kano. Yinusa who resides in Opolo, Yenagoa, had abducted Ese on August 12 2015 and eloped with her to Kano and has refused to allow her return home. . Her parents who had made several visits to Kano to secure her release, have been unsuccesful as Yinusa’s kinsmen insisted that Ese, who they now refer to as ‘Aisha’, belongs to them as they are ready to pay the necessary bride price. The matter was reported to the Police and the Department of State Security (DSS) and their promise to bring home Ese has remained unfulfilled forcing the parents to take the issue to youth and civil society groups. In a press conference addressed by Mr. Kizito Andah of the Child Protection Network, he said civil society and youth groups in Bayelsa are ready to stage a protest and press home the demand for the release of Ese from the custody of her abductors. Andah warned against an ethno-religious crisis which the abduction and forceful conversion into Islam could trigger in Bayelsa state. In a statement, the group said: “We strongly believe that the said Miss Ese Rita Oruruhas not only has been hypnotized but also recruited as a tool in the hand of an Islamic fanatical group in Kano State. She is only 13-years-old and cannot give informed consent to marriage and is still held hostage. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Oruru are petty traders who are putting all efforts to meet the needs...

Follow @NigeriaPI Patents/church influence many parents or churches choose for their children and mostly they wanna fulfill the wish of their parent or pastor but guess what, they wont live with you in the relationship for the rest of your life, so pray strongly and follow your heart. Respect is key This is where most Nigerians ladies are missing it. Some ladies don’t want to marry men older than them by few years because they don’t want to be controlled by any man. A lady who does not respect you as her boyfriend will surely not respect your family and that’s it. Physical beauty that guy cute, that babe got sexy bod, pink lips, hips, flat tummy, superb spoken English, blah blah wont take you nowhere. Its good to have the image of want you for your life but I must tell you, few years after wedding, all this beauty will fade away. Its not as if the partner will loose the beauty or handsomeness but then, you will focus your mind on important issues like feeding, taking care of children and so on than facial look. Courting duration All them, i love the short 3 months dating and let’s get married doesnt really work. courtship is the time to know your patner at their best and worst moment, you get to know if you can deal with your spouse for the rest of life. f you see something wrong in your spouse to be, correct him or her then if he/she refuses, cancel the relationship so as to avoid ‘you know me like this ooo before we get married issue’...
