The Nigerian social media space has been thrown agog after indications emerged that former CBN Governor and Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has taken an 18-year-old secondary school leaver as his 4th wife.
The new bride Sa’adatu Barkindo-Musdafa is the daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa who recently completed her secondary school education. This got the people talking.
Here are some of what the people are saying on Twitter…
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has waited for his bride to grow up a bit, he is doing the Nikah tomorrow in Adamawa & taking his 4th. Congrats to him!

All of u guys saying 18 is prime for marriage, pls would u give out ur high school grad child for marriage? #ChildNotBride #SaiCommonSense — kelvin chidubem (@mryungkelz) September 27, 2015
You shouldn’t be marrying a girl in her formative period, that’s lowkey child abuse. Say no to polygamy and child abuse! #ChildNotBride

Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Abubakar Audu et al are all dangerous men… The reason why they prefer little girls is an open secret. Kai!!! — #GEJIsNotComingBack (@kingysly_01) September 27, 2015
“Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has waited for his bride to grow up a bit.” Such a smelly statement.

In this day and age, how people defend a 55-year-old man, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, marrying an 18-year-old girl is beyond me. — Chukwuemeka Ekenaka (@MrEkenaka) September 26, 2015
So Sanusi Lamido Sanusi couldn’t wait for one more year, baba want his bride to come home at the age of 17.

Are you serious lol. Well he’s an aboki. No level of education can change that. “@Ay_bkini: @thequeengee_ Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Ex CBN — Georgie (@thequeengee_) September 26, 2015
If Sanusi’s new wife is 18, then that is lawful. But as a leader, he should know that though some things are lawful, they’re not expedient

You know you are a deranged hypocrite if you criticized Yerima and have now conveniently found a way to justify Sanusi. #ChildNotBride — Blossom (@blossomnnodim) September 27, 2015
Sanusi can marry a 7yrs old & praise singers will find a way to justify his madness.

Question: Does Sanusi Lamido Sanusi have daughters? How old are they? How many have he married off? How many did he give away @ 17 years? — Enyi Kwo N’azu! (@meks2850) September 27, 2015
And yes, Emir Sanusi can marry his 18-year old bride & still campaign against child marriage & he won’t be a hypocrite.
