Omotola Ekeinde Jalade has kicked against the passing of the child
marriage section of the constitution, which is currently passing through
some changes. The sexy actress vented her anger on the Nigerian
Senators for voting the section of the constitution.
She said
this at the MBGN beauty contest and emphatically made her stand known on
the issue. Omosexy, as she is also called, stated in her speech that
she is against child marriage.
Read her speech below;
"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 18.
"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
streets hawking 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 equity for children especially the Nigerian
girl child, who has the right to quality education, a childhood and the
decision of whom and when to marry.
"My Name is Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and I say No to phedophilia and No to the Senate bill endorsing child marriage in Nigeria.
