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.

Even Christian Abia State cannot stand the avaricious and amorous attitude of love peddlers in Umochia how much more Ga-y Parades and her other unpalatable investiture all displaying their wares on their street for the undiscerning minds.


Gay Parade
http://www.elciudadano.cl/2009/11/12/14142/gay-parade-chile-2009-este-sabado-14-en-paseo-bulnes-de-santiago/



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.”

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.

you just wont stop spreading your hokum. It is obvious you are a g'ay and wont admit it.
How does the bill strip anyone else of thier rights?? You just want to force your depravity on others and make it look like any religion is pushing for the bill, typical antics of the g'ay movement, play the victim to get people's empathy and before they know it, they are turning their sons g'ay and forcing others to accept them against their will. I don't have to belong to any religion to hate the lifestyle of homosexuals, those promiscuos bunch. Freedom of association my butts, go and tell that to Americans that wont let a pro-polygamist association flourish in their country.
Continue with your propaganda you will only win homo'sexuals and closted s'ex pervs to your side, no right thinking Nigerian that knows his roots very well will even give you a glance let alone think about the nonsense you keep spewing. Even Wole Soyinka knows better than to give support for the government to let pervasion thrive in a country that is already laden with uncountable peoblems.

You should know better than to downplay my knowledge of the bill as pedestrian, this is not the first time you have made disparaging remarks to make it seem like I don't know what I am talking about, but in all honesty, you know I argue from an informed standpoint and that is where you have a problem with my likes. I wont yield to browbeating, intimidation or even disparaging references jusdt so you can look like the informed one here. I have seen and studied the bill it is not rocket science, the stipulations are clear.
What I don't understance is your insistence to champion the cause of the h'omosexual community to the extent you create propagandist threads to hoodwink people into believing the Bill was uneccessary. You try to create an escape rout for the homose'xual cause by hiding behind their freedom to association to circumvent the unarguable need to ban marital union between two consenting g'ay men. I have consistently asked you to show me the sense in saying ok; "it is agreed that marriage is between a man and a woman and for that reason we can't accept gay marriage but we will have to give them their freedom to congregate to deliberate on how to get the government to upturn their ban on g'ay marriage, propagate themselves through propaganda depiction of the g'ay lifestyle as normal and healthy in comparison to heterosexual way of life and all that avenues that we all know give will on the nearest future give them power to propagate. I am all for freedom and shiiit but if it inimical to the sensibilities of our society, it must be legislated simple regardless of whether it affects their rights to talk about their sexual orientation in group and in public. Anyone can form an association the bill does not restrain you from that but if the association is about or for the promotion of homo'sexualism then automatically you lose that right, it is simple just like a gang of rubbers can gather so long as they aint gathering to plan a bank robbery you are within your right to exercise you freedon to associate. All these twisting of their rights will not suffice when push turns to shove.

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.

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.

stop trying to paint stoopid pictures and clutching at straws. Unless you want to play dumb, your right to anything in this life is not absolute in itself, It is a known fact. Freedom of expression does not give your right to express every godamn weird thoughts that comes up in youe thick skull, gerrit now That is how limited your freedom can get if you tend to push it beyond its limits then you will be reminded that you are encroaching and overstretching your limits. Fortunately for us and undortunately for you the bill has only stated some of the limits to some of such weird sense of freedom rights.
And by the way are you going to respect the rights of the majority to outlaw any public display of homosexualism or its promotion in Nigeria?? Or don't we as well have a right to disagree with their lifestyle and make law to checkmate their spread?? And by the way, if the NA is going to make any law Nigerians will be involved and if they agree to such law, who are you to challenge it??
Stop trying to twist something as simple as we "don't recognize you" and "wont tolerate your habit either".
It is you who is deliberately trying to imply what the bill does not state.

You such an a$$hole that lacks the ability to make logical argument. These men you mentioned were never members of any association or group that promotes the cause of another race that is not theirs. There is a big difference between being sympathetic to a cause even if you are not a member of such a group and joining wholeheartedly a group that makes you look like a confused misfit. Was Abraham Lincoln a member of any of the black people movements that were canvanssing for civil rights for black people-the black panthers, black nationalist group and so on, it is like saying a pure bred caucasian can be a member of NAACP or that a negro can be a member of the KKK, dont you see how stewpid and illogical you sound.

I used to have respect for Prof. Soyinka.  After reading of his advice to the lawmakers, my respect became adoration.  Here is a man, reputed to be robustly heterosexul (straight) who respects a different orientation from his.  If more people had that live and let live approach, we wouldn't have these bombings destroying our world.  Soyinka may not be a Christian, but he shows Christ-like inclusiveness and tolerance.  If you put a gay man in an all male institution (a prison) for 14 years, you'd be actively promoting gayness!  Soyinka has been a Professor of Comparative Literature.  No doubt he knows that much of the world's literary heritage is gay.  Many of Shakespeare's and Michelangelo's poetry, Walt Whitman, James Baldwin,  the list is endless.  Some people are gay.  The animal world gives abundant evidence.  That bill is foolish and futile.  There's been a lot said about reproduction.  For a start, the world's problem is over-population.  Secondly, many straight relationships are obviously based on contraception and abortion.  I wonder how many women have their reproductive organs destroyed from abortions, how many have actually died from septic abortions, all from straight relationships.  Prof. Soyinka is enlightend and humane.  It is nonsense that an individual can't be right and a community wrong.  In the time of Columbus, his community 'knew' that the world was flat.  He proved them wrong.  Mary Slessor opposed twin murder against an entire community's belief.  Prof, noble Nobel laureate, omo IJEGBA, Asiwaju, Ogbuefi, blessings.

My role model, Prof. Wole, is definitely so wrong on this. He failed wolfly on this cuz he din't philosophize strictly on it. If he had done, he would hv come 2 terms wit this simple syllogism: (1) a society based on unsound morality is doomed to anarchy; (2) gay marriage is overtly a very unsound morality (a fact wich he, Soyinka himself, would hardly differ with); (3) therefore, gay marriage if nt illegalised, would lead our society to a dense anarchy. Howeva, on his arguement dt it is nt a public affair, he has 2 duly undastand dt no person lives in isolation.
Re: Anti-Gay Bill: “Go Back To School” Soyinka Tells Nigerian Legislators by TalkHoha: 5:29pm On May 07, 2012
I wouldn't comment further on this issue if it wasn't so important. I believe Soyinka, and many intelligent people, have foresight. Gay people could marry the opposite sex and have wretched, sham marriages. Elton John and many other gays had conventional straight marriages and later ended them. Nature did not make everyone straight. Evidence abounds from history and the animal world. Live and let live. A society that approves of a man who could cause hundred abortions and ruin hundred women biologically yet condemns a man merely for loving another...I suppose the straight man who pays for hundred abortions is pro-family and pro-life? Enough of this wilful ignorance. Soyinka is hundred percent right, a hero for human rights and rationality.
Re: Anti-Gay Bill: “Go Back To School” Soyinka Tells Nigerian Legislators by OK2NV3: 11:08pm On May 07, 2012
Soyinka is a house-trained Negro. He has nothing to offer other than his mastery of another Man's language. He portrays an image of a long suffering African ideologist but he is devoid of any form of ingenuity. The man is like a prized ape who has mastered literature and the white man can't help but show him off as some freak of nature. Now he has come out in support of his sodomite buddies and wants all of us to tag along because thats what his masters want of him and all of us.

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.
