I am sorry, i wont.

I would vote for a gay guy and an atheist, but never an idol worshipper. Na them chop money pass to use for ritual.

Re: Would You Vote For An Openly Gay, Atheist Or Idol Worshipping Politician?

 
  It depends. Who are the other candidates?
cos I'll take a gay, atheist or idol head whose[b] record[/b] has shown a genuine care and concern for his/her people over a 'christian' whose record show zero accomplishments while they loot and pad their pockets.

I will vote for anyone that is sure of taking us out of this doldrum past leaders have put us.Gay,Straight,Idol Worshipper in short ANYONE!
Afterall,Past Leaders have hidden behind religion and used religious sentiments to rob,pilage and plunder us blind.
Babangida with is trade mark ''Insha Allahu'' did grave danger to our economy and of recent, The One and Only Ebora of Owu(Aremu of Ota) with his PGD in Religious Studies.
It's High Time we Brushed Sentiments Aside.

That would be in another world.
Even though most of this charlatans politicians are more evil in deeds than they appear, i would disown any that openly
exhibit this tendencies as adumbrated

so basically the don't ask don't tell policy like the US army?  knowing lots of Nigerians dabble in traditional african religions, chances are high you have voted for a follower of ifaism etc.  Are african religion detrimental to society?  Would an atheist or gay president force their views on their constituency? communists tend to suppress religion but most atheists aren't communist but liberal.

Hurricanes will become worse and we'll definitely see worse economies than this. Just wait.

chai you are scaring me  . didn't we have prosperous african societies before the arrival of western religions?

solid post but i believe contemporary Nigerian society has a negative opinion about those three groups of people.  Imagine the smear campaign that would go on in such an election.  Gay man contests for senator in Kano. death sentence

Okija_Juju^TM doesn't approve

I am sorry, i wont.

no need to be sorry, i don't think u offend anyone. but why though?

So you are asking if I'd vote for either the first son of the devil or the first daughter of the devil or the last son of the devil or the last daughter of the devil. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM ALL?

I'd rather vote for an idol worshipping politician than vote for a sodomite.

I wont for any of those cos Nigeria is under too much spiritual wahala.

roflmao!!!

It is my experience that our beliefs turn out not to be as personal as we would like to believe they really are. Sure on the outside a person might claim to believe in A, but majorly, their actions tell a better story of what the individual actually believes and that drives the individuals decision making process as well.
Only a while back, I had a colleague (who happened to be an atheist) who claimed to respect my right to believe in God. Initially, the relationship was purely professional but as soon as this colleague learnt that I was a Christian, respect went out the window. He poked fun at my belief every second he could; questioned my intelligence and ability to do my job since I, according to him, believed in a made-up puppet in the sky. This put a serious strain on our work relationship; I finally had to request I be moved to another team as a result. This was not my first encounter with this sort of people, but in majority of the cases, people’s beliefs affect their decision making and actions to a higher extent than many are willing to accept. I remember one particular dude I had to completely ignore after he turned to attacking me for what the bible says about homosexuality, and another just had a hard time accepting that I did not share his opinion of how to approach solving a problem at work. These are mostly people who deep down believe that the world has to mostly revolve around their chosen ideologies and when that is not the case, they switch to attack mode and will go as far as they have to, to bring the other team aboard.

It was never a secret; more that people made a big deal out of what was not really that big of a deal in the first place. I just don't like feeding "trolls with issues" much.

Oh ok, sorry eh
Is there anyway my assumption can be confirmed.
Just curiosity

If someone asked in 2007 whether I would vote of goal-less, hapless, visionless Yar'Adua, or an idol worshipping homesexual with a vision to turn nigeria into an industrialized nation, i'd pick the homo.

Some of the ignorance on display here is truly mind buggling . . . . .

Oh please!! Like we all don't do it in one way or another!!!

open gay in nigeria politics. No gay person can win election in nigeria from my knowledge of nigeria.

I know Idol worshiper can win. many nigerian worship idol. Even if you look at it very well mostly among southerner, 60% or more still believe in idol worship.

I am born again and I cant force my religion on anyone. But in nigeria gay and politics do not meet. If you are a gay person bawolomo, do not go into politics, they would not vote for you. that how bad it is in nigeria.

Bawolomo women are good too. have you try having a wife. what happen? please tell me.

roflmao!!!! Come all ye who are gay(you too bamowolo), we will find for thee a wife to cure you of your iniquities!!! roflmao!!!

First, the boy is too young to be thinking abt a wife.

Why do you think Idol worshipers would win, politically?

OOps!! see, I told you I don't really dwell on such things.  Here is the deal, you are free to assume I am either. For all you know, I could be a gay dude who lives in his mother's basement Or even a butch with seriously hairy body living in a trailer park, only with access to highspeed internet, out in west virginia mountains somewhere . . .  any picture is fine by me! 

What makes you think bawomolo is gay?
The fact that he's always on a homosexual thread or the fact that he fights for gay rights?
Abeg o, he's straight (I think so)

Kobo, it really doesn't matter o.
Curiosity dead!
