Same-sex Marriage Ban : Right To Private Life Law May Cancel Out Bill by rodeo0070(m): 6:28am On Jan 11, 2013 |
The Forum for Justice and Human Rights Defence said on Thursday that unless sections 37 and 43 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria were amended, the country would not win the war against same-sex marriage. The National Coordinator of the group, Mr. Oghenejabor Ikimi, also described as “myopic, misconceived and unfounded,” the statement credited to the Senate President, Mr. David Mark, that the bill on prohibition of same sex marriage was irreversible. Ikimi, who spoke to our correspondent in Yenagoa, said the provisions of the proposed law against same-sex marriage were inconsistent with sections 37 and 43 of the constitution. He said, “We state without fear or favour that unless the provisions of sections 37 and 43, which guarantee the right to private and family life and the right to freedom from discrimination are specifically amended to exclude cases of same-sex marriage, the effect of the proposed law by Section 1 sub section 3 of the 1999 Constitution would remain void abinitio (from the beginning).” He also reminded the lawmakers that Nigeria was a signatory to the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights, which guarantees the sexual freedom of individuals. Ikimi explained that as a member of the United Nations, Nigeria had sworn not to approve any bill against same-sex marriage. He said, “As a responsible and responsive human rights organisation devoid of any gay affiliation, we owe it a duty to inform our legislators and the Nigerian public of Nigeria’s commitment as a member country to the United Nations to eliminate all existing legislation, if any, that discriminates, based on gender and s SOURCE: www.punchng.com/news/why-nigeria-may-lose-war-against-same-sex-marriage/ 2 Likes |

[size=18pt]Gullibility is a failure of social intelligence in which a person is easily tricked or manipulated into an ill-advised course of action. It is closely related to credulity, which is the tendency to believe unlikely propositions that are unsupported by evidence. Most Nigerians (and Nairalanders) fall into these category.

Please, why are we deliberating and arguing whether or not about same sex marriage. Its a decree not a right to. We in Africa have norms and values. We don't need gays and lesbians in our midst. We can never support their plea.Its irritating and disgraceful. 5 Likes |

They cannot amend those sections. Those rights are innate and inalienable. They are sacrosanct. How can you attempt to meddle with what a man does in his own private life? Inasmuch as I am not encouraging same sex marriage, they have to reckon humans have free will and volition. Someone has chosen to go to hell, why don't you let him to go hell? Law and morality are mutually exclusive/inclusive as may be the case. 9 Likes |

hagma37@yahoo.com:It's a decree...so because you have norms and values, you're gonna tell someone how to live his life? I'm not an advocate of same sex relationship/marriage but we must realize that these people have the right to dictate to themselves the course of their lives. 4 Likes |

I don't know why there is still a debate about same-sex marriage in Nigeria, the law banning it should be passed immediately, gay marriage is repulsive, unnatural, evil, sinful and abominable. In a religious country like Nigeria, there are some moral and religious standards that should always be upheld 1 Like |

hagma37@yahoo.com: point of correction,they are already living in our midst and because they haven't bn throwing it in our faces does not mean they dont exist either.Even though i'm nt an advocate for same sex marriage i say y dnt you live them to their act , God is in heaven and will reward each person according to their act,you cant force pple evn the bible said i have placed before u life and death but i urge you to please choose life.My point is you cant force pple to live in a certain way even God IS NOT forcing pple to live in a certain He merely urges us to. |
