GodMode:

I'm following u... Your candy pie has gotten my attention.

smudge2079: Oops... 90% of our ladies are into it but dey are always d first group of people to abuse homosexuals. Am not supporting dis act but my point is he or she who is without sin should cast d first stone.

MiguelMi6: Excuse me,but what is Un-african about a sensible government allowing consesnting non-threatning persons express their sexuality as they will.Come to think of it,the laws have been suspended,it still gives you headache,no arrest for gay persons.Do you for a second assume that 14years imprisonment will change a person's gayness.
If with this move,all Western nations flock to her and she develops her country,good for Malawi.What has your own anti-gay law gained you in Nigeria?

Fiftynine: you are a fool by making that comment. u are not suoporting it but he without sin should cast the 1st stone? do u knw the real meaning of dat word? or have u forgoten that we are all sinners? have u also forgotten why God distroyed sodom?

MissMeiya: Some pictures for my little boy over there who hasn't quite mastered reading yet. He knows who he is.



King Mwanga II of Buganda, the “gay king”
King Mwanga ll of Buganda in east Africa led a violent campaign to defend traditional values in the 1880s. He executed 22 Christians for opposing same sex relationships.

If he hadn’t taken this extreme action it’s likely that traditional Bugandan sexual practices would have been written out of history.

In the late 19th century Mwanga was worried by the spread of Western influence. Missionaries were making inroads into the kingdom and demanding rights for their converts.

They were the vanguard of imperial occupation by the powers that backed them.

The imperial imposition of new sexual morals on indigenous people was part of a wider process of asserting control. This also saw new laws to control sexual practices in Britain.

The issue came to a head when pages in Mwanga’s own court turned down his request for sex because they were converts. This caused a confrontation that led to his decision to execute them all.


In the former Kingdom of Dahomey, women could be soldiers (above) and older women would sometimes marry younger women.


Nigerian woman-to-woman marriage (sexuality debated)
In Igboland women who were considered exceptional in the eyes of society due to their wealth and/or social standing, and those who were past menopause could marry wives for themselves, for their husbands, for their sons, and/or for their siblings. These influential women were usually viewed as men, due to the fluidity of gender in the pre-colonial Igbo context, by marrying women their status was elevated mostly due to female husbands paying bride-price. Woman-to-woman marriage allowed for greater freedom of sexuality for the wives, they could have boyfriends, anonymous men whose only duty was to supply sperm, henceforth “male sperm donors”, and this was socially accepted. Any child they had were taken care of by their female husband, and carried her name and this was legitimate in the eyes of society.


Reading Achebe’s The Female King of Colonial Nigeria, one could be forgiven in believing that woman-to-woman marriage was unique among the Igbo of southeastern Nigeria.

It wasn’t.

This institution can be found across the African continent among various ethnic groups, with slight differences in norms and practices. Even I was surprised to discover, among the Yoruba where a widow who wanted to remain with her in-laws could marry a female relative when there were no men in the family as considerable options. In other societies, women who could not have children, and widows took wives and claimed the children their wives had as their own. In others women who did not have sons could marry a woman who would act as a daughter-in-law, in fact married to the female husband’s non-existent son. In all societies where this was practiced female husbands occupied high statuses in the community.

Akshow: Talk about grandeur disillusion of the highest order. What glory does Africa has?

U were parading naeked before oyinbo people come give u cloth. Now u have d guts to say being naeked is "unafrica"

Those wey bring religion come for una are opening up their heart and accepting gays but, u wey them hand over d religion to as tokunbo or second hand dey more fanatical and bigoted holier than thou.

That's y Africa will always remain backward. Gays are the least of our problem in the face of poverty, hunger, diseases, bad leadership etc

IdiatFF: I think this is a wrong move for Joyce Banda and her cabinet; this is very un-African. When will African countries stop been beggar nations? Malawi has shown that it's a beggar nation by this act. It's an act of cowardice and it thus confirms what Ms Dambisa Moyo argued in her book 'Dead Aid'. Our leaders are just too lazy and very uncreative. What has Banda done to making sure Malawi moves away from depending on aid from these western countries who never mean well for her country? .. mtchew!!!!!!!!

TheWholeTruth: Malawi is afraid of the unknown.


A begger will always act like one.


The glory of Africa is diminishing.

chamboy: My RuSian Brothers, U rock

pazienza:


The law gives her a feeling of self righteousness and makes her feel that she and her country stands on a higher moral ground than the west and gays.

If you ask her what exactly she meant by 'un african', she would certainly answer you with answers drawn from 'un african' religions, that's the Irony.

Empiree: [/b]

Dey know naija is rich but (the country) is managed by morons. Dey know that if dey kip pressure on nija to suspend anti-homo law, it may not work 80% of d time dats' why dey invented BH (with help of unpatriotic politicians) to divert naija resources & attention. Knowing fully well, that naijans will support better security of d nation dan persecuting gays. Oyinbo smart pass u pple. D plan is working well for dem & Black (Christians) fell for d trap.

How did Christians fell for the trap?. Dey made sure u have to blame ur brodas(muslims) for BH to create confusion. Dis works very well. Look at the situation of things urself. If any nijerians are asked about country's priority btw bringing BH to justice or criminalizing gays?, overwhelming nijerians will choose the former. And d former(BH) will never be solved cus they created it for a purpose. Just sad that many nijerians are extremely clueless. U don alreadi allowed dem to help u monitor elections in Osun. soon, dey will monitor all ur elections & den only God knows what. U guys dont think. U r in big HOT SOUP, wallahi. BH issue will not go away anytime soon walahi. They created it. It has nothing to do with musulumi but u folks fell for the trap n u will pay the price of omugo forever!!!! wallahi

MzJackBaueress: Is this supposed to be a good news? Oh well, foreign aid is more important to them than endorsing the ban on homosexuality.

That's their business!

Vansnickers:


Lol!!!

Look at this delusional fool.

We here in the US have bigger issues to deal with, for example, border control and the Healthcare reform. In your dumb mind, we'll leave our problems and try and destabilize a third world african country?! Hahah!!!

voltron:

You know you have simply spoken my mind. countless of clueless mindless buffoons in Africa believe that the WEST needs to kill Black Africa to survive, we are some potentially emerging threat (we have been emerging since the last 7 decades and have not surfaced yet) to the WESt so they are always seeking ways to undermine Development and Growth and Democracy in Africa.. in truth our stangant minds refuse to remove the scales from our eyes and see that African Leadership is as backward Democratically and Politically as we were in the 18th Century.. it is all a selfish Family business in Africa.. why Blame the WEST

VantagePoint:
Say what you will, African nations consider homosexuality abhorrent and unnatural. Just as Western nations cannot condone infringing on "international human rights", we also don't condone gay relationships; it is un-African!
One might as well de-criminalize inces.t, substance abuse since it occurs between consenting, non-threatening adults.

MissMeiya:

Africans have been so thoroughly violated by colonialism. They don't even know what their culture is anymore.

Homosexuality was an accepted part of many African cultures before it was trampled out by colonial missionaries. The white man told you homosexuality is wrong. Now you think you have always hated it. You tell the white man not to bring in something you forgot you once had.

The white man told you you weren't wearing enough clothes. That you were "indecent". Now you think baring your skin is "un-African". You tell the white man not to corrupt you with their un-African núdity.

The white man told you to worship their god. Now you have surpassed them in religious fanaticism, and you call them heathens.

I weep for my the DESTRUCTION of my people's history and culture. We don't even know what was ours anymore. Confusion.


And believe me, I can back ALL of this up with historical publications and respected research journals.

OkparaJesus: Why is that is western world condemn polygamy,and is even a crime punishable by law, why not legalize it but we Africans don't want homosexualism yet they are forcing us to agree to their terms for one Aid. I think is high time we forced them to legalize polygamy too.

iceberylin: COWARDS....

OkparaJesus:


I pity you and your homosexual life style...you will only be useful during your funeral.

kandiikane:

Do you research first on African se.xual culture instead of spewing dust.

VantagePoint:
I don't need to do that
However, I expect you to come up with some baseless research on how our sexual culture eons ago embraced homosexuality and we suddenly, a few decades ago, decided that it was wrong.
