homosexuality is an illness and believe it can and should be cured
homosexuality is sinful and is in direct breach of the bible and other religious texts.

@Omo Eko How stupid can you be' first you said homosexuals are not born that way, now you're saying it is an illness. When does this illness manifest itself? At age 2,3,4? You believe in your own ignoramus. You come across like the person who will run to the law and accuse white people of discrimination, yet promoting it in your homeland.

@ Omoeko You can say what you like by hiding under the cloak of the law, while denying others the same right, what hypocrite. As i said, you come across like the person who will run to the law and accuse white people of discrimination, yet promoting it in your homeland. Have you considered suing your brain for non support? You seem to let your fingers do the typing and thinking.

@Donzeman,

You did not address the issues intellectual issues i raised on the bill. You are now the one ranting. Mother marrying daughter and all the rest. That is pure bunkum. Go and read the billl so that you can advise yourself properly. You sound ill advised.

If you feel so strongly about this bill pack your load and come back home. Read my posts very well. From your write up it is obvious you don't have a thinking hat. Please propagate these views publicly in Canada and london and tell me your story later.

Mr Bandele please note: "Faggy fi dead"Say that statement on any street in the UK and you will be in Nigeria faster than i can type Deportation. It will be more rewarding to talk to my vegetables than to listen to someone of your IQ. If you are so biased and can't read the entire thread before contributing, do me a favour, switch off your

5 years in prison jst because ure gay??
that's not good,

jst like punishing people for being poor, (women in the uk used to serve long terms in jail for failing to pay fines)
that is not good


imagine if u were d gay person and people were being so homophobic, how would u feel?
i knw religion does not approve of it but, there r so many things religion does not approve, it's caused more deaths than anything

in saudi arabia, people still have their hands cut for stealing
and women still get stoned to death for committin adultery (the men are treated less harshly for this same offence)

Tornadoz
before you reply me read my post.
I am actually writing to tell you , it is a public forum and you are acting tyrannical at the moment. If another pers's opinion is different from your do you have to shut them down? do you have to be equally insultive yourself. I do not agree with his statement but haba, are you now the moderator? with this sort of topic, those who dislike the practice will speak up and rightly so, don't be telling no one to switch off, or whatever. You are doing the very thing you accuse OMO EKO of., hypocrisy. You call someone's brain watever, why not be  mature yourself and show how to be objective without being insultive or aggressive?  Again take it as you like , i hate internet bullying and this seems like one to me.

@sisimose Remember that Bandele wrote:"Faggy fi dead" Now this is wishing someone whom he has never met die because of the persons sexual orientation. Remove the word "Faggy" and replace it with e.g Ghanians. Don't you now
see the intolerance in his statement. Wishing any one dead whom you've never met is the height of intolerance. The bully is Bandele not me.

Wishing someone dead is not an opinion, its advocating violence.

ok i hear you. The fact that i didnt point this out about his comment , does not mean i approve, infact watever the case he is still entitled. All i wanted to say was you don't have to make yourself look just as bad, the idea behind what you did was good, but it is how you got it across.

@ezioku

Gays and homosexuals can do whatever they want, heck do it till you can do it nomore for all I care. My only concern is in the issue of marriage, it is a big NO NO!

I can express the same views anywhere and nobody will touch me, are we all supposed to be rainbow huggers now?

See "if your child is gay" - http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-1586.0.html
 
@seun,

Many thanks for the poll. you need to see the margin between those who would not report their children to the police for being gay and those who would not. That vindicates what i have been saying,everyone is applauding the bill until once they discover that it would affect their families they will chicken out. We are too selective,hypocritical and always behaving in a holier than thou manner.

@Donzeman,

I think we have all come to the same conclusion. No to same sex marriage-yes  and also capital NO to the other undemocratic sections that are being smuggled into the bill.

After all America does not support same sex marriage bit it does not trample on the rights of its citizens as well

don't know why people keep comparing homosexual marriages to a woman marrying her son or whatever, that right there is stupid

yes homosexuality might not African, but to some people (i.e homosexuals) it is human, that their life. and we are all human first before anything else ( African)

Americans do not allow gay marriage, that's because we have a republican fool in power. trust me with the the house being democratic and if we get a democratic president next- Gay marriage will be allowed.

Yeah.  And it's a pity that this hypocrisy may cost some people 5 years of their lives just for being different.

Yeah.  And even if the majority of us are not yet ready for gay marriage,
why must all gay people and their well-wishers be jailed?  The solution for now is to throw out this law.

to u @Blow,  what is a crime? Who determines what a crime is or isn't? you just tagged lesbianism/homosexualism a crime whta makes it a crime? two women/men choose to love each other or better prefer same sex? exactly what makes it a CRIME?!!!!!!!

Am disappointed at what some of you are saying. If it is not a political thing what is it?  some of this politicians are gay themselves!!! Some say we are copying the western world, please check your history well.  In northern Nigeria atleast I know homosexuality has been in existence long before now or is it in other parts of the country.  Lets not lie to each, yes morally"biblically" we are told it is wrong? Afterall thesame bible says judge not so YOU shall not be judged.

I know this is not a vaenue to throw stones but have an inteletual discussion. I have gay friends and believe me they just like you and me. They just prefer sex in a different way.

Don't be an idiot, if you say people can marry whoever they wish, then people can marry whoever they wish. If you think a woman cannot marry his son, in the same vein, I think a man should not marry a man!

One thing all reasonable people can agree upon is that this particular law is rubbish.  If the law is eventually passed, many of the posters on this thread will be regarded as "criminals" for being supportive.  Think about that.

Here lies the weakness of democracy.  If 51% of Nigerians believe in an unjust idea, the idea will prevail.  After some people have been sacrificed needlessly, people will wake up to the truth and revoke the law.  Amen.

u don't have to insult me to convey a point.

your point still doesn't make sense, u can chose to accept it or keep running your mouth.

You have stuck with this same notion since day 1 and have failed to realize that no one else presents this point today but u. its becoming tiresome. u might want to come up with something else.

It's tiresome because it reveals to you the insanity in the idea that people should be allowed to marry whoever they wish. Then we will have a society where mother can marry son, no qualms because after all, they're both consenting adults. Isn't that the same argument you use for gay marriage? What suddenly makes it invalid in this case?  Undecided

the harsh truth is that in naija when a homosexual is found they will most likely be killed before the case makes it court and if they r caught they might just might kill themsevles b/c of embrassement
