Reject Theresa May’s Speech On Same-sex Marriage – MSSN Tells Buhari by IamReallyboy(m): 3:50am On Apr 19, 2018
The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria
(MSSN), Lagos State Area Unit, on
Wednesday urged President Muhammadu
Buhari to without wasting much time,
reject British Prime Minister, Theresa
May’s advice on same-sex marriage.

MSSN Lagos Amir (President), Dr. Saheed
Ashafa in a statement marking the 64th
year of establishing MSSN in Nigeria, a
copy which was made available to DAILY
POST, insisted that “such a suggestion
would increase immorality and crimes in
the country”.

He urged President Buhari to consider
May’s suggestion on same-sex marriage
as “a mere freedom of expression”.
DAILY POST recalls that May had at the
Commonwealth Heads of Government
Meeting holding in the British capital
urged Nigeria and other countries to
revoke laws banning same-sex marriage.

But, Ashafa cautioned that Nigeria should
not be lured by her promise that the
United Kingdom will support any country
that legalises same-sex marriage.

He explained that such would increase
immorality and crimes in the country.
Ashafa while speaking also frowned at the
silence of the presidency on the matter,
adding that “the president’s silence is
worrisome”.

He appealed to President Buhari to
continuously reiterate the position of
Nigeria at all fora where such was
discussed.
He also cautioned that Nigeria should not
be lured by PM May’s promise that the
United Kingdom’s will support any country
that legalises same-sex marriage.

Ashafa said, “Theresa May’s call for
support of same-sex marriage is a mere
wish and also an exercise of one’s
freedom of expression.

“To us, it has no effect. We know the
position of Nigeria on same-sex, it
remains an abomination and there is no
doubt about it. It must not change. It is
one of the factors helping to reduce crimes
in Nigeria.

“Theresa and others with similar desire
only need to remember that we are an
independent nation with our own
autonomy; our freedom of thought
remains sacrosanct.

The same-sex marriage ideology is a
practice that should never happen in
Nigeria.
“Here in Nigeria, our constitution
recognises multiplicity of religion and God
as the supreme being, and as such His
forbiddens are consciously avoided.
Same-sex marriage is unlawful, and it is so held.
It is an abomination and a call to it is a call to
destruction.”

They are right on this.

If Nigeria was practicing ideological politics and not religious ones there would be a chance for such to happen in the future.
Every individual has a right to choose what is pleasing to their conscience and it is not the business of government and outsiders to dictate to people what their sexual orientation should be.
