Even village kids have an opinion on here.

Boi, internet and western media done mess up Africa.

You lot don't know what's about to hit you.

I'm out, man.

rapmike:


But Polygamy does not infringe on people's Human rights, does it?

Don't mind the intolerant ones
Polygamy is a crime,
Polyamorous relationship and h.o.m.o.s.i.c.k.ness are rights

Abel202:

I will answer you this silly question with questions:
1. What crime would you be committing as an adult male by sleeping with your mother?
2. What crime would you be committing as an adult male by sleeping with your adult sister?
3. What crime would you be committing by sleeping with your dog?

If you know the answers to the questions above, then you would also know the rather most outrageous crime a man would be committing sleeping with a fellow man....

1. Risking serious genetic deformities through inbreeding

2. Risking serious genetic deformities through inbreeding

3. Having non-consensual sex.

JEITO: If we go by the dictionary definition of corruption, then homosexuality, is also a form of corruption.

Btw, the fact that two adults, are in agreement over a particular matter, doesn't automatically make that matter right.

How is it possible. For you to be this stùpid.

I don't blame you sha. The President of Nigeria officially changed the definition of the word "corruption" in front of the whole world. It's understandable how confused Nigerians are now.

MissMeiya:

STFU. Colonial slave.

STFU you fuuuking whiteman assss licker. bleeping dirty lesbo

Symphony007: there are limits. If you commit murder, you loose those rights. If you commit atrocities that affect the state or the well being of other citizens you loose those rights. Let the government prove how a consexual relationship among two adults of sound mind is a threat to the state or other citizens.

Ok so those people fighting for the right of Boko-horam in the past are called what? you people are the cause of the problem we are having in Nigeria today. Its visa free to uganda, just relocate and marry two guys no one will care.

I hate to accuse the FG because the citizens are the bigger problem;
A small terrorist group trying to Islamize an entire country,
gays trying to pass a gay bill to favor fvcking of shithole
A small family brought in dead body from Ebolaberia to Nigeria and endangered lives because of a trashy burial
Y'all fvcked up big time.

MissMeiya:

I am an American. I know what the fúck I'm talking about. It is not illegal everywhere.

Remind me what this has to do with the topic of criminalizing homosexuality with colonial laws and violating human rights again?

you may be an American and at the same time ignorant of the American laws. Tell me one American politician that is polygamous?
It has nothing to do with homosexuality, we are in agreement in that respect. I don't support criminalization of homosexuals.
Polygamy is illegal in the US. That said, it is not generally prosecuted especially in the Utah region where Orthodox Mormon Christians are prevalent.

Abeg o, some one should help me answer this troubling question. Are two like charges suppose to attract or repel each other

KiKatanga:

1. Risking serious genetic deformities through inbreeding

2. Risking serious genetic deformities through inbreeding

3. Having non-consensual sex.

You're amazing. Thank you for addressing that TIRED ÁSS, grossly illogical argument. It comes up so often, I stopped bothering to answer.

Yes! i knew it won't happen..yes! atleast, we still have some African countries that can stand their grounds and not like the greedy ones. *THERE IS GOD*

.

We have the right to be primitive, dense, illiterate (and read and write on NL)
The h.o.m.o.s.i.c.ks have the right to choose between the noose and a hole in the head

JEITO: Abeg o, some one should help me answer this troubling question. Are two like charges suppose to attract or repel each other

Like Charges Repel, does that mean you hate all other Nigerians? Or does it mean you are unlike other Nigerians?

Abel202:

I will answer you this silly question with questions:
1. What crime would you be committing as an adult male by sleeping with your mother?

If you know the answers to the questions above, then you would also know the rather most outrageous crime a man would be committing sleeping with a fellow man....

of all your irrational questions, sleeping with your dog should be the only crime here. this is because the dog has no ability of being consented . in some places it is punishable by law.

in as much you are above the legal age , you can have good and pleasurable sex with YOUR mum and sister, you can even have a 3some with them, it is no one's business. I have seen twin get married in Nigeria and both are lecturers in one of the Nigerian university.

dhammyg: NICE.WHEN WILL NIGERIANS\AFRICANS LEARN THAT WHAT TWO ADULTS CHOOSE TO DO IN THEIR BEDROOM IS NONE OF THEIR BIZ.
WE AS AS AFRICANS HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS FACING US E.G CORRUPTION.IF WE COULD PERSECUTE CORRUPT POLITICIANS THE SAME WAY WE PERSECUTE GAYS AFRICA WILL BE A BETTER PLACE

AND BY THE WAY DO U THINK IMPRISONING GAYS WILL MAKE THEM CHANGEOR DO U THINK LYNCHING THEM WILL MAKE THEM CHANGE

AND TO THOSE SAYING BEING GAY IS UNAFRICAN AND USING BIBLE\QURAN TO JUSTIFY THE CLAIM,PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT CHRISTAINITY AND ISLAM IS ALSO UNAFRICAN

writing with caps to pass a point?

Hey girl go back to the kitchen and make me sandwich!

KiKatanga:

There is no need though, as that article makes clear: as long as no legal marriage (nor the benefits of any common-law recognition) are sought, there are no practically applicable laws.

Otherwise they'd have to prosecute everyone living with a Girlfriend or Boyfriend, too --- let alone all of the Congressmen with their affairs.

you are mixing two things ... have girl/boy friends outside your marital home is NOT polygamy. Polygamy is an individual trying to have two (or more) marriage licenses with two (or more) other separate individuals concurrently.

cococandy: Animals can't express themselves.
They are beneath humans.
So bestiality is a kinda fvcking them by force u get?
It's not in the same league with homos' own.

You are a doubting eve for commenting "animals can't express themselves"

Everything the Creator created can express itself. You doubt the power of the Creator cos you haven't let your mind see a glimpse of what the creator is capable of.

Name one polygamous politician? You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Homework assignment. You look it up. I'll give you a clue. He's a Republican. It is legal in certain states. The end.

PREAMBLE

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

xp17: of all your irrational questions, sleeping with your dog should be the only crime here. this is because the dog has right of agreeing or disagreeing and in some places it is punishable by law.

in as much you are above the legal age , you can have good and pleasurable sex with YOUR mum and sister, you can even have a 3some with them, it is no one's business. I have seen twin got married in Nigeria and both are lecturers in one of the Nigerian university.

You are disgusting, to you sleep with your mom?

you are totally fvcked up!

KiKatanga:

Like Charges Repel, does that mean you hate all other Nigerians? Or does it mean you are unlike other Nigerians?

This has nothing to do with liking Nigeria
I love all Nigerians
But their men (and indeed everyman) repel me in the john and in the bedroom
I am attracted to their women and women worldwide

GO CHECK ALL MY.POSTS I.WRITE WITH CAPS.AND GO LOOK FOR UR MOTHER TO MAKE U SANDWICH!!!!

MrKnowitall:

Depends on the state. If you go to a state like Utah, you can have as many wives as you want.

This guy hasn't gone farther than Benin Republic. Why talk $hit? Mr I know nothing

kobonaire: you are mixing two things ... have girl/boy friends outside your marital home is NOT polygamy. Polygamy is an individual trying to have two (or more) marriage licenses with two (or more) other separate individuals concurrently.

I'm not mixing them up, I specified that in reference the previously quoted Wikipedia article. As I said you'd have to either attempt to take advantage of commonlaw marriage legislation or seek formal recognition to be in contravention of any practically applicable laws.

barbaric law, illiterate people.

There is nothing special in the ruling IMHO.

From the article, the supreme court only ruled on a technicality in the process of making the law. It did not rule on whether a ban on homosexuality impedes the exercise of the civil rights of Ugandan homosexuals. Therefore if the lawmakers are still bent on outlawing homosexuality, all they need to do is repackage the bill and this time ensure they form a quorum as required by law and the ban will be right back.

The truth of the matter is that for as long as Uganda has a President that is anti-gay and not favorably disposed to accepting western values and a people that are largely anti-gay, homosexuals in Uganda are on a very long thing.(No pun intended )
