Homosexuality Is A Crime In Nigeria And Ought To Remain So - Donald Duke by WotzupNG: 10:23am On Sep 03, 2018 |
Former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke has come out to clear the air on a statement he made concerning homosexuality in a recent interview with Falz and Laila on the show 'On The Couch'. In the interview, Donald Duke while explaining his views on how he intends to lead the country, went on to bring up the issue of LGBT rights in Nigeria saying “I don’t understand the emotional feelings a gay person would have toward someone of their sexuality. I don’t understand it. But I would not criminalise them. I would ensure that they have the protection of the law. But if they want to exhibit their sexuality, then that’s an affront on the current norms of society.” After much negative reactions to his words, the presidential aspirant has now released a statement saying the interview was taken out of context. Donald Duke now says, 'Homosexuality is a crime in Nigeria and ought to remain so'. See the full statement below. https://www.wotzup.ng/2018/09/donald-duke-homosexuality-crime/ 1 Like

If I were Donald Duke I would stay away from this issue of homosexuality. This could damage his chances at presidency( if he ever had one). 53 Likes |

I would not go seeking homosexuals for prosecution as this is libel to abuses... What's the difference between this and what he was quoted saying initially? Duke is becoming more confused. He's obviously starting on a wrong note. 19 Likes |

Too late. Your western ideology of freedom for all to do as they sexually please cannot work in a religious society as ours. You've ruined your chances. You cannot run this messed up divided country being open minded, i am sorry. 31 Likes 4 Shares |

One problem we have in this country is our inability to read an article, we have made it a norm to make our news out of headlines. The retweeting and and sharing of this headlines on Social Media has not done us any good. If you are able to read his initial submission, you will agree with me that he was speaking from the constitutional angle. in the first line he condemned the act on personal view, he however allowed the laws of the land to be the Judge. “I don’t understand the emotional feelings a gay person would have toward someone of their sexuality. I don’t understand it. But I would not criminalise them. I would ensure that they have the protection of the law. But if they want to exhibit their sexuality, then that’s an affront on the current norms of society.” 52 Likes 6 Shares |

“I don’t understand the emotional feelings a gay person would have toward someone of their OWN sexuality. I don’t understand it." Homosexuality is wrong, plain and simple! It is against the divine principle of marriage and procreation. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol he gave the right answer the first time but as typical with politicians he began 'clarifying' after backlash. I see no reason why homosexuality should be a government matter at all..especially in a country like Nigeria with much bigger problems for government to deal with. 8 Likes |
