Yesterday my hubby was reading a Nigerian National Newspaper,
and when I asked him for the main news, he said he was reading
about gays and lesbians in Nigeria, they actually made the Headline. The other
day my little cousin was imitating his sister and next thing I heard was ‘
Hakeem, stop behaving like a gay’. You turn on the radio, the discussions going
on is all about gays and homosexuals. Honestly I have always known that
homosexuals existed in Nigeria(Minority), but never believed that they were our main concern, when
we have issues like terrorist attack, kidnapping, Assu strike, high level of
unemployment, and poor economic condition in Nigeria to say the least. Its on
this note that I congratulate, Federal Government for their massive publicity
of same sex relationship. This is
exactly how developed countries like America who are now open to gay started,
it was controversy upon controversy, punishment of offenders, discrimination, publicity, more publicity through movies,
press, music etc until they started
embracing it .
Are you visiting my blog, expecting that I may be supporting gay
relationship? my response to this new law is as provided in the Act. The Same
Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act imposes a prison sentence of 14 years for
anyone found guilty of engaging in same-sex relationships, and states that
anyone who "administers, witnesses, screens, abets and aids" a
same-sex union can be imprisoned for 10 years.
Ignorance of the law is
not an excuse. What this means is that if I support same sex marriage I am most
likely going to be sentenced for 10yrs, even if I don’t practice it. So I have no
intention of spending time in KIRI KIRI PRISON! So I leave the struggle for the
gays. Cheers.
