Emeka Ike has never been someone who could control his thoughts without putting it to words and at the Vchannel Celebrity Night Out at Troy Lounge in Lagos, the popular Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, who is on self-imposed sabbatical from the industry took a stand against legalizing gay marriage in the country.

Emeka, while fielding questions from April and Bridget, presenters from the cable station on state of the nation said Nigeria should not follow the footsteps of United Kingdom (UK) that legalized same-sex marriage recently. ‘Knowing our penchant for ‘copying’ others I want to plead with Nigerians not to encourage same sex marriage. I don’t hate gay but I don’t support gay marriage either. God does not want it, our culture forbids it.

We should not encourage what is not right. This is about defending whatever is left of our culture. Nigeria should not go the way of UK, we are people of culture. I want our legislators to stick to their guns and not legalise what will be eroding our culture and make us godless people’.

Nwogbe: seconded.

val_dubem: Emeka Ike is not relevant in discussing such issues. He should keep mute or talk sense.

Freiburger: Anything popular among Nigerians will always remain popular, good or bad.

Okija_juju: I am not Gay but I dont see why two dudes or two chicks who wanna marry shouldnt be allowed to.

And lets not kid ourselves, Nigeria is a Godless hypocritical Nation.

We just pardoned a robber and a serial pea`dophile rapist and we are here breaking our head over the decision of two grown as`s people to marry each other.

ABEGI JOR!!
