comments:[quote author=john.a.swart]Compromising on values has led to a deterioration in the attitude of the youth of today to the detriment of society in general. That is an undisputed fact! While I do not reserve the right to "judge" since that is God's job, not mine, there are basic premises set within numerous religious groups that condemn the sanction of homesexual practice in any form whatever. Who is right? The right of an individual to believe the principles of acceptable behavioural principles taught during childhood OR the realistically totally unnatural sexual behaviour by individuals who are psychologically unable to have a normal relationships with the opposite sex? Add to that the statistically proven prevalence of perversion within the "gay community" in comparison to others including the "swingers" and others!!!! I'm not a "gay basher" and I have no intention of beating up gays or anyone else but I hold the opinion that homosexuals need serious help![/quote]Dele: comments: [quote author=joel.mathope rdnaidoo: Joel, how can Gay communities have a problem with people being straight.

comment:myniek: RPhiri: I say let people choose who they want to be, I don't condone homosexuality but I have no problem with it. Nigeria needs to focus on the civil unrest In the country, rather focus on creating a Bill to strength the flawed laws in that country. Once this Bill is effective we may just see an increase of foreign internationals coming into the problem, causing a budget crisis in the country and giving rise to further xenophobic attacks on foreigners and gay activists defending the rights of other homosexuals coming into the country. Shipingana: I am not gay neither anti gay/lesbian, but agree that they bear from heterosexual relationship, they are not aliens from another planet or animals,they are our brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, so why not respecting their fundamental human rights as anybody else enjoys it, even animals are protected. At the end of the day we are all humans. Manqoba Qkoba Nxumalo: way to go Nigeria!!!gays & lesbians r a sickness in this world that Africa needs to cure |
[quote author=news24.com date=1323337057]Abuja - Nigeria's parliament pushed ahead with a bill on Wednesday that would harshly crack down on gay rights despite moves from US President Barack Obama's administration to counter such legislation. The bill was introduced into Nigeria's House of Representatives on Wednesday after the Senate last week approved the measure that would outlaw gay marriage and ban public displays of affection between homosexual couples. Gay organisations would also be made illegal, leading some to raise concerns over whether funding channelled through non-governmental organisations in Nigeria for Aids treatment would be put in jeopardy. A spokesperson for the House of Representatives and a cabinet minister were defiant in the face of Western criticism over the measure. ‘To hell with the US’ "We have a culture. We have religious beliefs and we have a tradition. We are black people. We are not white," said Zakari Mohammed, who is also a lawmaker. He said same-sex marriage "is alien to our culture and we can never give it a chance. So if (Western nations) will hold their aid to us, to hell with them". Information Minister Labaran Maku said "we reserve the right to make our laws without apologies to other countries". On Tuesday, the US put the fight against gay and lesbian discrimination at the heart of its foreign policy, but stopped short of warning transgressor nations they could be stripped of US aid. Obama ordered all government agencies that play an active foreign policy role to take steps to encourage foreign nations to put a premium on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights. Sentences British Prime Minister David Cameron has already warned that his country will consider withholding aid from countries that do not recognise gay rights. The bill passed by the senate would make same-sex marriages punishable by up to 14 years for the couple and 10 for anyone abetting such unions. It also sets out a 10-year sentence for "any person who , directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationships". No debate took place during the introduction of the bill in the House of Representatives on Wednesday and a date has not yet been set for it. Mohammed vowed lawmakers would proscribe even tougher penalties than those proposed so far. He said "to hell with the super powers if they are for gay marriages." ‘Against our culture’ Maku told reporters after a routine weekly cabinet meeting on Wednesday that foreign nations had the right to comment on any Nigerian laws they were unhappy with. "We live in a democracy, we live in a free country, we live in an independent country," he said, adding "some of the things that are considered fundamental rights abroad , can be very offensive to African culture." The house has to vote in favour of the bill before President Goodluck Jonathan ascents to or vetoes the legislation. Senate President David Mark said last week that if any country was unwilling to "give us aid or assistance just because we want to hold on to our values, that country can keep her aid and assistance". It was unclear why lawmakers decided a ban was necessary, with gay marriage not known to be prevalent in Nigeria and homosexuals already harshly discriminated against. - SAPA[/quote]http://www.news24.com/Africa/News/Nigeria-moves-ahead-with-anti-gay-bill-20111207 [size=18pt]Comments[/size] [quote author=comments date=1323337057][quote author=Mohammed date=1323337057]Dear USA. Imagine if you actually respected other people's views. If you accept that you are not always right, in fact, hardly ever. Imagine if you were actually tolerant, and governed by morals and ethics. Imagine if you actually respected that people, when following a religion, would like to abide by ALL its injunctions. You cannot continue to force down a farce like 'democracy' down the throats of people who choose to be governed by divine laws. Sadly, you will always remain the outcast.[/quote][quote author=Kritesh Harpaul date=1323337057]It's not about the USA!!! It's about what's right and what's wrong dumb-ass!!!![/quote][quote author=Phoenix date=1323337057]Gay people have a right to live their lives just like everyone else. it isn't a white western thing - and isn't going to go away. It is part of human nature. A certain percentage of babies made by heterosexuals will always be gay.[/quote][quote author=Juno date=1323337057]"you actually respected other people's views" What a hypocrite you are. These views of yours are selective aren't they? As long as they subscribe to those divine laws they are acceptable. When they don't then they are unacceptable. So don't talk about respecting other peoples views, you clearly don't![/quote][quote author=aardvarkie date=1323337057]Well Mohammed, you talk about morals and ethics as if you have any - taking the rights away from other human beings who cannot help being gay is not moral or ethical. I'm not a fan of USA politics but you sir, are one ignorant bigot. Also, your "Divine" laws are archaic, backward and neanderthal beliefs such as this have no place in a modern, forward thinking society. Perhaps the problem is there are too many people such as yourself with an IQ under 100 that is the problem.[/quote][quote author=Moi1980 date=1323337057]Yes, because throwing someone into jail for 10 to 14 years for being gay or in a gay relationship just screams respect and tolerance.[/quote][/quote] |
His Excellency, President Jacob Zuma, will undertake a two-nation working visit to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Republic of Benin on 10 and 11 December 2011 respectively.

In Nigeria President Zuma will have consultations with his counterpart, His Excellency President Goodluck Jonathan, with respect to developments within the South Africa–Nigeria Bi-National Commission (BNC), and with regard to regional and continental issues of mutual interest. Bilateral political relations between South Africa and Nigeria are strong. Nigeria is South Africa’s largest trading partner within the West Africa region. Trade relations between the two economies registered substantial growth between the period 2008 and 2010.

President Zuma will also receive an Honorary Doctoral degree in Philosophy at the American University of Nigeria in Yola, the state capital of Adamawa State. President Zuma’s visit to the Republic of Benin is aimed at strengthening the already existing cordial relations between the two countries which dates back to the liberation struggle period. President Zuma and his counterpart, His Excellency President Boni Yayi, will discuss and concretise cooperation in key bilateral priority areas such as transport. It is expected that the Bilateral Air Services Agreement will be signed during the visit. The two Presidents will also use the occasion to exchange views in respect of developments at regional level, both with regard to ECOWAS and SADC, as well as discuss broad issues affecting the continent within the context of the AU.
