“She Needs A Pen Not A Penis” – Emir Sanusi Trends As #ChildNotBride Resurfaces Over Marriage To 18-Year-Old

After news broke out that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, finally tied the knot with his rumoured heartthrob, Sa’adatu Barkindo-Musdafa, the daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-Musdafa.

Campaigners of #ChildNotBride took to twitter slamming the educated former central Bank of Nigeria for opting to marry a minor who should ordinarily be in School and not in a matrimonial home..

The 18-year old becomes the emir’s fourth wife. She recently completed secondary school and is been enrolled for advanced level studies.

In addition to his first wife, Sadiya, who is the daughter of the late emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, Mr. Sanusi has two other wives — Maryam and Rakiya.

The secret wedding was contracted in a low-keyed ceremony in the town of Yola on Friday.

With Sanusi’s rabid libido & desire to marry the 17yr old girl then, I’m sure it wasn’t for massage but for wild 50 shades of grey sexing

Paedophilia is institutionalized and enshrined in Nigeria. If you like tear shirt, this is the truth.

And yes, Emir Sanusi can marry his 18-year old bride & still campaign against child marriage & he won't be a hypocrite.

As usual, we attack the symptoms. Sanusi's marriage is clearly a political marriage. The question should be, "why do we still have those?"
