Problems with Child Marriages in Nigeria (and elsewhere)

Just learned that apparently a Senator from Nigeria has married a 14 year old Egyptian and was arrested as a result.  Michael Jon, writer for allafrica.com states in his article that "He has no respect for the law and he does not hide the fact. He is fond of getting married and he prefers them young - like thirteen or fifteen - beautiful and poor."
This post from Naijablog also alerted me to the potential physical dangers accompanying pregnancy for these child-brides.  Frankly the whole practice disgusts me to no end.

Regulate Hormones and Energy with this Ancient Peruvian Food

I've used this powdered root from Peru, known as Maca, to help with fibroid issues I had in the past and feel it had a significant impact.  It is also known to increase libido and energy levels in general.  Has an interesting taste too.

Check out more about Maca and its other healing properties (and purchase it at an excellent price) on Natural News here.
