The country has been thrown off balance since Nigerian senate implemented the Child Marriage bill.
This indeed has provoked the masses ranging from the poor to the rich and famous. Nigerians who found different means of protesting against this barbaric act includes celebrities like Omotola jalade who spoke during the MBGN 2013 against this grievous act and the beloved Stella Damascus who stood firm to spit pains out without leaving any stone unturned.
Stephanie okereke Linus produced a movie called "DRY" with the aim of protecting the girl child rights and stop violation of the female children by rushing them into matrimony at a very tender and sensitive age.
Her movie which features herself and Liz Benson and the likes of others talks about two young girls by name Halima and Zara who were compelled by tradition to get married at such tender age but refused the blatant tradition.

to release the unofficial (raw footage) video of my upcoming movie "DRY"
to galvanize support of Nigerians and international committee for
revocation of the senate. Nigerians, its time to lend your voices and
share your thoughts; we need to protect the girl child incessant
abuse".
