Pally,

Do you know any ex-gay guys? That is, guys that used to take it in the a.r.s.e but don't anymore? The minute you let anyone, women included, put anything in your anal rectum, you are gay. There is nothing you can do about it. The thing must be sweet in a perverted sense. So proceed at your own risk. grin

Don't be surprised.

Gay rights is supreme in the UK.

It even surpasses child rights if the 2 conflicts. Talkless of African rights.

Useless country in moral meltdown.

I know; I was being sarcastic. Some do-gooders are probably planning a protest at Blair the next time he is in the UK.

I still wonder why a lot of you people will not give obj benefit of doubts that he slept with his son's wife.

The only evidence you all have is that his' son who had a grouse with him and a love lost situation with his wife said so.

I dont know why obj will do that, for all he worths in naija, the guy can line up 100 ladies for himself daily, why would he pick his sons's wife?

Exactly, I am open minded about the accusation.

My opinion is: Which ever of the father or son is guilty (i.e. psuedo-incest or lying about incest) is very very sick.

OBJ has a right to say what he thinks, he just needs to find a wa of being politically correct while saying it. in the case of homosexuality- he cant!  These gentleman were too excited, they decided to breach the law and get married. No matter what people think about rights the law is the law and people should damn well follow it!!! NOBODY even homosexuals are above it!! even though OBJ will not be familiar with that!

Re: Obasanjo Supports Malawi Government: Condemns Homosexuality As An 'abomination' by SEFAGO(m): 7:59pm On May 26, 2010

Obasanjo, whose human rights record was questioned during his two separate spells as president of Nigeria, denied that consenting adults have a right to privacy in their own homes. "What is the privacy of your home? Why don't you take an animal and say look, the privacy of your home, you want to make love to a horse? Bestiality. You say that is right? No.

"If the privacy of your home means a socially condemnable act, then you have no privacy. You have done what you should not do and if the law says you should be punished for it, whether you do it in public or the privacy of your home, you have breached the law and you must be punished, according to the law."

Immediately after the interview, Obasanjo could be seen discussing the difference of opinion with Annan. Later, on his way out, Annan smiled and told the Guardian: "I'll work on him."

1. Consenting adults should have a right to privacy in their homes. Its a fundamental human right.
2. See the difference between Annan's opinions and trhat of Obasanjo. Annan is quite an intelligent man, although eh might be corrupt- aint all africans- obasanjo is as ignorant as african statemen go.

what does obj know about the rule of law. this ota farmer shamelessly broke all d laws in his 8 years of tyranical ruling. HYPOCRISY. pls i cant really wait for jesus to come and do the supposed judging. it will surprise u dat obj and all of the people in this thread, infact 99% of people in the world will find themselves in hell, excluding me of course. we tend to over judge for God. we give no room to really try and understand things that are really strange to us, then again humans aren't as evolved as we think

If it is a fundamental human right, so why is polygamy unlawful in the US even if consenting adults want to engage in it? Why is there a law to block it? Why would the law not recognise it but recognise civil unions?
Re: Obasanjo Supports Malawi Government: Condemns Homosexuality As An 'abomination' by snowdrops(m): 11:19pm On May 26, 2010
OBJ is right on this.

But should sleeping with your daughter-in-law not attract similar harsh punishment?

LOL  the polygamy law argument. So boring, and trite. Well I got a few minutes to waste. B4 you refer to US law be aware that there in the US there are:
1. Federal law
2. State law

Polygamy is recommended as a felony under the Federal Model penal code- which is a standardized set of laws that the state legislature use as a model to make their laws. However it is not illegal in some states. Moreover, although it might be a felony, it is rarely pursues as such. Especially in the case you have referred to as consenting adults with no formal engagements.


For example, I could have  eight wives  grin, and remain undisturbed. As long as I do not marry them formally (like in court) then I am technically not breaking any laws. However, they could cohabit with me. Then if my jealous neighbor finds out I could maybe taken to court- its 100% likely that the judge would drop the case out of boredom and the stupidity of the case, as long as the eight wives are not being assaulted or anything or there is no child abuse involved. Infact the judge would koboko the neighbor for wasting his time when there are homicides and despoiling going on in an already overstretched and litigious country.

Basically to cut it short, polygamy is not "illegal" in the US in the sense of the true sense. People practise polygamy especially the Mormons. I am sure Utah has very lax laws on polygamy because of the high proportion of Mormons. The only time it becomes a major problem when it involves child abuse, domestic violence and such.

By the way polygamy is not recognized in some states in Nigeria under our legal code, and even in lagos- but polygamy dey go on fine fine.

Moot Argument

Re: Obasanjo Supports Malawi Government: Condemns Homosexuality As An 'abomination' by SEFAGO(m): 11:44pm On May 26, 2010
Errm seems Obasanjo negotiated beautiful, I wonder why all the brouhaha.

All this silly talk with claims to superior morality. Bertolt Brecht comes to mind whenever I discuss with individuals about the difference between right and wrong, his statement "Whats the difference between a jemmy and a share certificate? Whats breaking into a bank compared to founding one", captures human hypocrisy.

Abeg Malawi should focus on the massive corruption in their country joor.

So to cut it short, you are saying there are laws that ban it, it is not recognise by the federal government as you can not formalise it and people can be charged to court despite being consenting adults?

So it is not a fundamental human right then?

But yet, they are using that argument of consenting adults to tell Africa to legalise homosexuality and allow marriage/civil union?

It is not banned again lol. You are using the wrong words. Considering the fact that it is law, I got the right to be worried about semantics.

Homosexual cohabitation is not recognized in most parts of the US too. So whats your point?

Re: Obasanjo Supports Malawi Government: Condemns Homosexuality As An 'abomination' by SEFAGO(m): 12:54am On May 27, 2010
No, I didnt  wink. You cannot get a warrant from a state defence attorney to break up polygamous relations lol. The US respects the rights of individuals to do what they want in their house lol.

However, they try and prevent somethings with laws. People's fundamental rights are still being protected, just that the Governement does not give them any legal status.

Further, the trouble is not about their homosexuality, but the fact that they "celebrated their engagement" which I do might be contrary to the law of some countries.

Hold on I am missing something here . . .

But you are not allowed to express your (so-called) fundamental human rights as you can not formalise it in the eyes of the law? So it is not a fundamental human right then, it is a right you are allowed to have as long as government officials decide to ignore/tolerate it?

Nonsense! Make dem leave our uncle shege jare! The thing that is grinding us right now, is how an ex-gov turned senator has successfully organised an international "marriage" to a 13 year old child. How come there is little noise about this in the West? Is it more acceptable than homophobia?
