Homosexuality should be legalized . Everyone has the right to chose whatever he/she wishes to have a romantic affair with.

How could yu say such a thin, for it to be legalised in Nigeria? God forbid! Thank God you are not the president. I pray people like wil never in Jesus name, if you can't figure out what is evil and abominable in this. Does it mean you are an enemy of God? Imagine if all your children are gays? undecided

A church founded in 2006 celebrated 10years anniversary with only 200 members and performed only 10 same sex weddings in the last decade grin. That means they get only 20 new members every year. That means God has turned his back on them. The church is a failure but they can repent now before it's too late

you don't allow people to choose... like that


If you allow people to choose homosexuality lifestyle and lesbianism

Then you should also allow pedophiles and those who sleep with animals to be free


Robbers and ritualists to be free

We are building a new Nigeria where we don't throw away our sound African morals in the Quest for Westernization!

We advocate a decent Nigeria where we stand to say no to LGBT!

Same-sex church is in existence in Nigeria and I never knew about it, am becoming more of a slacker. These people engaging in homosexuality are dilirious. How can you say serve God when you know that God hates sexual immoralities like Gay, Lesbianism etc. Male dog does not mate with another male dog neither do a cock mate with a cock. Why are we human beings so stubborn? Small time now some people will be shouting freedom. Freedom that will lead you to destruction.
