The Chief Executive Officer of Shettiman Malamai School for Marriage Education (S.M.S.M.E.), Mallam Abdurazak Abdullahi Usman, has called on the Yobe State House of Assembly to make it a bill on the certificate of marriage as a bill like the bill on HIV and pregnancy in the state.
Mallam Abdurazak Abdullahi Usman made the call today at the graduation ceremony of the 2nd batch of outgoing students of the school at the Federal College of Education (Technical), Potiskum, Yobe State.
He said this initiative is their work, because if the nation or the state is not healthy, it is under emergency for not living safely; there is nothing that will run nicely. So I am calling on them, even if not now, to accept our call to make it a bill for none of its members to get married without getting a certificate from a signed institution that will guarantee him to get married to the one another, both male and female.
“Knowing that knowledge will bring peace and tranquility to our nation and to our various homes, because we will eradicate the poverty through this knowledge, this initiative will eradicate immorality, and we will eradicate a lot of things, so let them use their seat to pass this as a bill like the bill of HIV and Pregnancy,” Abdurazak said.
“I see them struggling on the issue of hepatitis and sickle cell, which is genital. We are putting this to their mind; read it for the first, second, and all what they know. They know how to pass the motion into a bill and pass it to be a bill so that there is no wonder they will get married without sitting down at a signing institution for such technicalities. This will bring a lot of peace in the state and will develop our economy, will develop our peaceful living, will develop our farming and business, and also our political activities.
Mallam Abdurazak still insists to our leaders, traditional and political, and also religious leaders,that we all belong to marriage, so everyone of us or the organization should come back and sit down to see how they are going to support the morality of our houses because we all belong to a house.
“Whereverour houses are sound and nice, Inshallahu the nation will be quiet; everything like banditry, robbery, kidnapping, and all evil acts will be shaped out from our society, because we come back to our houses and sit down and see where our problem is, tackling them, suggesting a way out, and intending to be morally sound in the society.
He revealed that what is bringing us headed in this gender direction is that, for the male gender, the males agreed to surrender their wives to us to teach them, but the men themselves refuse to answer our call to come sit with them where their problems are, and how are we going to tackle problems of men in their houses?
“I am still urging them and insisting and recalling the men’s gender who are the drivers and the leaders of the houses to answer the call of the School of Marriage Education to come and receive such techniques of teaching of morality of the houses so that we would come together and whip out all the wrongdoing in our houses,” he added.
The CEO asked the students to make good use of what they learned from the school to be the ambassadors of this school wherever they are, because each and every one of them that has attended this school has to show the morality that they have learned and the teaching and the technicalities of the sound houses that they have learned from this school. And urged them to make good use of all that they have learned and to give back to the society and the communities.
One of the beneficiaries of the school, Hafsat Abdullahi Musa, thanksAlmighty Allah for showing us this day and also thanks the CEO of Shettiman Malamai School for Marriage Education, Mallam Abdurazak Abdullahi Usman, for establishing such a school in our community.
She said, “In fact, I benefitted a lot. They teach women how they will stay with their husbands and their children and how they will stay with their neighbors, as well as how to make business, making them self-reliant at home.”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Issa-Onilu spoke through Mr David Akoji, the Director Special Duties, NOA Headquarters, Abuja.
He reiterated the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to improving access to education at all levels and ensuring that “financial constraints do not prevent young Nigerians from pursuing higher learning.”
Issa-Onilu said NELFUND was established by the Tinubu administration to ensure that no Nigerian who qualified to go for tertiary education was prevented from doing so, as a result of inability to pay school fees.
According to him, funding which used to be the biggest challenge in accessing tertiary education is no longer a threat to undergraduates and students seeking higher education.
The director general said the administration of President Tinubu had disbursed N59 billion to over 600,000 students that have applied for NELFUND Student Loan.
The director general assured that the era of students leaving tertiary institutions without completing their degree as a result of financial constraints was over.
He stated that the initiative showed that the Tinubu-led administration was committed to improving the wellbeing and welfare of Nigerians by empowering young Nigerians with education and skills.
Issa-Onilu urged students in Gombe State who have financial challenges to embrace the initiative to ease the burden, stressing that the loan scheme “is available to all qualified Nigerians who are schooling in public tertiary institutions in Nigeria.”
Speaking on the thematic areas Issa-Onilu said they include; Government Policies, Programmes and Activities, the Nigerian Identity Project and National Symbols, and flood mitigation.
He cited others as National Security Awareness towards achieving improved security consciousness in communities and National Values Re-orientation for Students of Secondary Schools and Tertiary Institutions against sign-out extreme practices.
He also announced plans by the federal government to support 150, 000 youths across Nigeria under the National Youth Investment Fund (NYIF), adding that N110 billion had been dedicated to implement the initiative.
The director general further expressed the commitment of Tinubu’s administration to impacting positively on the wellbeing of all Nigerians especially the poor and vulnerable households.
On government programmes, Issa-Onilu hinted that over 2 million households enrolled into the Social Safety Nets Expansion, had benefitted from the Conditional Cash Transfer.
