“The ‘Top’ is the male in the relationship. He is the ‘King’ while the ‘Bottom’ is the female or the ‘Queen.’ The Tops are scarce, unlike ‘Bottoms’ that are uncountable and less valued in the booming gay market. If you are a ‘Top’, you get better patronage and you are more valued. That is where the big bucks come from. If you are a queen, chances are that you are looking for love, affection or something like that. You have to spend a lot of money to get a ‘Top’ that wants you.”

A lawyer, who confessed that he patronised male university students, and who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said he became a homosexual during his days as a boarding house pupil.

He said he was introduced into the act by a school mate. “It was very rampant then and I found out that many of my mates were also involved. Though I got married after my university education, I still engage in it now because old habits die hard. I must tell you that it is a terrible habit though because I find it difficult to enjoy sex with my wife. These days, I find male partners among people of my calibre, especially some of my friends that were in the same secondary school with me.

Sweet Jesus!! Shocked

What will people not do for money?

DeepZone:

Is it not better than armed robbery? Nigerian women are in trouble!!!

MrCrackles:

There has always been tendencies of gay-ness around, i remember way back when i was in boarding house in 1999!

Queer assholes now starting to spread like wildfire, chei, what is this world turning to?!

Thank the west for that bro. Seriously! They [missionaries/aid workers from Europe and America] not only promote the 'coming out' of foreign gays but they actually help in creating them.

Homosexuality has existed within the continent of African even before the coming of the white man.

I have no intentions on rebuking anything. If you like, rebuke till the sun comes up.

Homosexuality has existed within the continent of African even before the coming of the white man. All this talk about the white man bringing homosexuality to the African people is a load of crap. As a whole, homosexuality is nothing new. The only thing that has been created is this overt disdain of homosexuals. Homophobia is what is spreading like wildfire, not homosexuality. These same missionaries you complain about, is it not their God that you worship? It's easy for you to pick and choose what you consider to be good and bad huh?

pleep:

^^^But inked nerd seeing as 1.9 out of 2 africans has Aids, and 369 trillion Africans die of Aids every minute wouldn't you say that homosexuality can be exceptionaly distructive in Africa?

The intolerance of homosexuality also lowers the incidence of homsexually behaviors. It has been proven that homosexuality facilitates the spread if HIV.
That is why homophobia is good in the African context.

These Gay activists in Europe who try and spread gay culture around the globe don't take into account the fact that some societies have not developed to that point yet. And it does more harm than good

Can you please elaborate on the last line of your comment? I wanted to reply but I was having multiple thoughts on what exactly it is that you're trying to say. As for the beginning of your respond, I wasn't saying that your response was a cop out--I do agree that it was written from a European perspective which was why I pointed out earlier that the African perspective on homosexuality was not the same as the European perspective. In many of those cultures, homosexuality wasn't even viewed as this evil thing that Europeans made it out to be. I even made note of "Hungochani: The History Of A Dissident Sexuality In Southern Africa" by Marc Epprecht which references the southern region of Africa. I believe the book make references to the Shona and Lovedu people. You might also wanna look into a writer named Munyaradzi B. Munochiveyi who wrote an article on homosexuality in pre-colonial Zimbabwe. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that homosexuality is something that was widely accepted in all parts of pre-colonial Africa. I'm sure in some parts it wasn't as accepted as other regions but that still doesn't despite the fact that in general it existed in Africa.

^^^^no i wasnt looking for a cop out in the sense of it,i fully agree with the assertion that homosexuality pervaded the sub saharan african continent but i just wanted to point out that it was pertinent to note that these accounts were not written from the perspective of an african but a western perspective this is just for a balanced and objective.
secondly i can guarantee to an almost 100% certainty that there are no evidence of homosexuality in the south east,south west and the underlying areas,the only form of sexual deviancy i found was the taking of what will be considered in this day and age very young girls for wife but i will appreciate anything you find.
lastly hope we are all agreed that unprotected sex amongst homosexuals brought the first recorded case of aids in the united states

Looking at the bigger picture, this goes to show that if we fail to write our own history others will do it for us. But in saying that I would be very cautious in taking some of the sources you have provided as facts because in my view they may well represent a distorted account of our own history. However, it provides further proof about the failings of our educational system.  I fear for our children and future generations, we complain they no longer speak our language; I think we should be more worried because they may have no history to read about.
