Well, in that case, I hope you don't speak Western languages. I hope you don't watch Western movies and programming. I hope you've not recieved a Western education and neither would your children. I hope you never use or exploit Western technology (including browsing on nairaland). I hope you consume no Western products, including food and clothing. I hope you utilise no Western-influenced institutions including banks or following our constitution and government and practise of using currenc which are borrowed from the West. And finally, I hope you don't follow Western religions and gods or the Western literature that includes the modern Bible.

It's just amazing, not to mention amusing how we demonize Western culture while deludedly ascribing phony virtue to our Western-enslaved culture. Like I said before, some people are incapable of thinking for themselves and just vomit the same garbage everyone around them spits out.

Hopeless nation with hopeless citizens who deserve their hopeless leaders.

ABIA State Government has ordered that LovePeddlers be chased away from the streets of Umuahia, the capital city.

Particularly, the government frowned on the situation where LovePeddlers loiter around Abia Tower, the main entrance to the state capital.

Worried by the activities of the women of easy virtue, the government, at its last Executive Council meeting, discussed the issue and decided that the women be chased away from the street, saying they were denting the image of the state.

At a briefing in Umuahia, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Chief Don Ubani, said the government was not happy with the activities of the LovePeddlers, hence the decision to order them off the streets.

Abia government also frowned at the illegal parking of vehicles, especially trailers, around the Abia Tower.

Ubani said: “Government decided that these ladies of easy virtue that loiter around the Abia Tower should be chased away from that vicinity by law enforcement agents in liaison with the Commissioner for Physical and Urban Renewal.

“The illegal parking of vehicles, especially trailers, around the Abia Tower is unacceptable and condemnable.”

no wonder i saw u sheeveeering in the winter like a lost n found. better return home than to try to reason like a westerner. you are nigerian for God's sake.

donedy:

Mugu, it's only a fool will debate or boast of where he/she lives. I don't need to prove that to  fool like you because whether I live in the State or Ajegunle has nothing to do with my Aptitude. LIke I said, you are the one that should do a research. Maybe that will help you get acquainted with Google. I don't meant looking at Wikipedia, but that's Ok if you are too dumb if you even know what Wikipedia is.

Evil Brain:

Wole Soyinka is 100% right. And he didn't even mention the biggest problems with the bill:

1. It's essentially a sharia bill that imposes one group's religious beliefs on others.

2. It bill is completely unconstitutional because it attempts to strip a segment of the population (and not just gäys, by the way) of their fundamental rights of freedom of expression, freedom of association and the right to peaceful assembly.

3. It actually makes it a crime to lobby your senator/representative on issues relating to hömösexuals which goes against the basic concept of democracy. If people can go to prison simply for asking their reps to help solve their problems, can we really call ourselves a democracy?

I agree that the Senators need to go back to school, but they need to learn a lot more than the difference between public and private matters. Maybe the FG should organise teachers to read the constitution to them slowly in pidgin or their native tongues so that those rètards can understand their role and the limits of their power.

@rhymz

Have you read the bill yet? It's obvious you haven't since you're clearly still ignorant about it's provisions. Why don't you try and study the subject matter a little so you'll have some idea of what you're talking about before you post.

Because believe me, you have no idea.

Evil Brain:

Oh, ggod. So you've read the bill. Now did you read the parts that presribed prison sentences for belonging to "gäy associations", or for participating in "gäy processions@
/demonstrations?" or from promoting/supporting "gäy causes"?
Do you know what freedom of expression means? Do you understand the importance of freedom of association? Do you know why it is crucial that all people have to right to peacefully protest in a democracy?

If you say you've studied the bill, yet you don't think it's unconstitutional, then you call into question your reasoning ability. Because, like you said, this stuff isn't rocket science.

rhymz:

why will any heterosexual white male that is comfortable with his sexuality race belong to a g'ay black association or participate in a g'ay black procession?? You are begining ro sound like a closeted homo black man trying to vent out. Why don't you just be true to yourself and stop talking in disguise.
I understand your freedom to express yourself has limits in practice and is prone to abuse when left in the hands of people like you to misinterpret. Keep lying to yourself.

What if you have g@y friends or family members and you don't like seeing them get oppressed and mistreated? What if you work for an NGO that focuses on health problems in the g@y community e.g. HIV? What if you just feel like joining one because the constitution says you have the right to?

You keep saying that constitutional rights have limits "in practice" like a brainwashed North Korean. I wonder what you'll think when

without a doubt you are gay!!

You keep saying that constitutional rights have limits "in practice" like a brainwashed North Korean. I wonder what you'll think when the National Assembly makes it a crime to criticize its members (because freedom of expression has limits)? Or when the PDP starts banning opposition parties for promoting h0m0sexuality?

If you really knew the implications of what you are saying, you wouldn't be saying it.

Idehn:

There you go.

Or maybe this will float your boat.

rhymz:

lol. . This dude is nutcase!! infact, you just murderd your own logic: like seriously why will a white man  that is proud and confident being white want to join an association meant for only black people to further their cause?? Dont you see the folly in your own lame attempts Where are thesw intellectual cretins popping out from sef Na wa o

Ovamboland:

Are these the kind of people i share the same nationality with?! No wonder our country and it's leadership are this messed up. And this guy might end up to make laws for us with this kind of thinking intact 

So William Wilberforce,  John Brown, Abraham Lincoln (that is if you know who they are) e.t.c must have lacked self confidence for speaking out against slavery when the majority were routing for it. And why did John Kennedy have to use Federal Marshals to enforce integration of blacks in public universities.
Mary Slessor was that silly white girl who stupidly came to disrupt and change our cherished culture of killing twins.

So because you're probably male you are precluded from championing the cause of widows

Talk Hoha: Wole Soyinka's sensible stance will save our children from suicide, our families avoidable heartbreak and disunity, and our country another brain drain. Over what? Over what people have as much choice over as their skin colour and gender. Could any one with some truthfulness living in Nigeria deny our lack of the necessities of life, most of which can be traced to corruption? How could sending gays to same-gender institutions (Prisons) end their natural orientation? If this bill is carried through and implemented, it will be the most effective device in promoting gayness since boarding schools. Let's have foresight. Wole Soyinka is obviously a well-exposed, well-read person. He may have encountered brilliant fellow Nigerians abroad, prevented from living in and contributing to our country because they can't be themselves in Nigeria. In any case, most heterosexual relationships are not aimed at procreation. They thrive on contraception. Women's reproductive organs are ruined and sometimes they lose their lives from inept abortions. Yet the men and women involved remember the Lord's laws when it comes to sexuality. Nature has majority and minority groups. My reading of history tells of innumerable great people, from Alexander the Great to the greatest genius, Leonardo da Vinci, who were recognisably gay. It's probably true that most people who lit up the world in their fields were gay, whether declared or repressed. Soyinka is one of our reasons for pride in the world. Let's listen to him. I think he speaks from intelligence, not personal need. He is famous for being a ladies' man. Yet he is large-hearted enough to accept that people of a different orientation have a right to be. Long may you live Prof.

kufre2010: I do not agree with d prof on dis one. First of all any law that is against moral principles is not a gud law as all laws must b morally sound. Gay mariage is nt a private affairs but wil b a public ceremony either in the church or in court as d case may b. In dis case let consider what d next generatn of Nigeria wil b wit dis practice. We cannot allowed d interest of a few moraly derange individual 2 distroy d future of this country.
