This monster married this girl when she was just 14, Evil man.
ReplyDelete8 kids already, even if they separate, the kids will always bring the together
It’s well
ReplyDeleteSo how old was the man when He gave birth to a child that had the grand daughter?
ReplyDeleteHe clearly was 20 years old when He became a grandfather.
Do these people impregnate 8year olds?
I am confused too.
DeleteThats true how was he a grandfather at age 20
DeleteI am confused too.
DeleteHow will the children now address him?
Is it great grand father papa? 🤷
Father or grandfather?
DeleteNa wa. They've been married for 23yrs with 8 children. Sha science said just kids would have comma? Women son finish for that community.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you shocked Stella ? In the North, anything goes.
ReplyDeleteNa wa oo
ReplyDeleteAbomination..
Evil man 😡😡😡 see how he snatched the innocent girl from the cradle..wait what if her own parents? How can they open their eyes to the evil of grandpa?? Kai
ReplyDeleteTufiakwa. Check very well, some of their children will be disabled.
ReplyDeleteThe ages tho, and how can a man marry his grand daughter? It's insane
ReplyDeleteCousins I’m saying first cousins marry themselves in some parts of the north so I’m not outright surprised.
ReplyDeleteNa waoo
ReplyDeleteAbomination.
ReplyDeleteThe ages don’t add up. Maybe she’s an adopted grandchild or step grand child. He’s only 20 years older and they been married for 23 years. This is confusing

ReplyDeleteOops! wrong post. See me searching for this comment on in house gist. Let me copy it and delete it
DeleteHow can he be the grandfather with a 20 year age gap?
ReplyDeleteMchheew! Sick people everywhere
ReplyDeleteThis is not possible. How can a 57years old man have a 37years old granddaughter??
ReplyDeleteYou can't tell me the man became a grandfather at age 20
ReplyDeleteThis story has a large gaping hole in it, unless their ages are not correct. So the 57 year old man married the grand daughter 23 years ago at the age of 34 and she was 14. Please how old are the girls parents?
ReplyDeleteI guess the ages or relationships have some gaps in the report but the community has no moral standing to dissolve this situation.
ReplyDeleteWhat were they looking at after the first, second, third, all the way to eighth child? With that number of children and so many years, any forced divorce will only be on paper as they are eternally married. If the government is not bringing bags of rice and wads of cash for the family to foot bills, they should stay away as they have been doing for decades.
