El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]How Standards have fallen.

Civilization brought along many demons, they're taking their tolls on the younger Ones and most esp the Western world.

I think its too late to device the reprimend Option, they cant stop It - Gayness have come to Stay, Just like Corruption, Wars, Poverty, Scandals, Atheism etc have come to Stay.

Endtime beckons!

Homsoexuality has been around for a long time. It did not just "show up". The media and internet has just made things EASIER to discover. Ask your parents or older people who went to secondary school in nigeria, Im sure some of them have stories of that one boy who acted like a female, or tales of boys "fucking each other" and being caught.

IF homosexuality were a choice, man I think some people will shape up to avoid getting killed. Why do they try to run away from nigeria? Why are some of the MOST attractive people in the world gay - clearly women is NOT their issue. They have myriad of female fans and can get ANY when they feel like, YET the man would say he is gay - CHOICE ke? Think again

Dibiachukwu: hahaha. what a joke. Most igbos didnt even know it was possible for people to be gay. I think gay people should have the same rights as everyone else but stop manufacturing lies. There is no record of gayism in igbo tradition.
When your intellect surpasses the word "gayism" then maybe you can go back and revisit your facts. The word GAY meant happy up until the mid to late 20th century. In ancient greece the dichotomy was NOT gay vs straight. It was simply Masculine vs Feminine. Despite our flare for western liberalism, Nigeria like the rest of Africa is still a very conservative society when it comes to sexuality. Prehistoric African culture may not necessarily include extensive knowledge about homosexuality but records suggest that homosexuality was present in Africa. The 'yan dauda’ (homosexual) and 'dan dauda’ (homosexual ‘wife’) in Hausa-land are known to either engage as male prostitutes and/or are procurers for female prostitutes. In some parts of the southwest in Yoruba-land there are historical accounts of men who behave effeminately, generally referred to as ‘gbowo’. These people were recounted to be mostly good orators, exemplary craftsmen, musicians, and poets. The great men of time have all mostly been bisexua (some gay) - a few: Langston Hughes, Tchaikovsky, Leonardo Da Vinci, Edward II (K. of England 14.c), Julius Caesar(Roman emperor), Pope John XII (955-964), Pope Benedict IX (1032-1044), Ludwig Wittgenstein, Isaac Newton, Michelangelo, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Whitman, Swinburne, Baudelaire, Wilde, Proust, Gide, Forster, Auden, etc

Antivirus92: nwaala that does not know his surname! Indeed you are calling a spade a spade. That rubbish u posted is practised in which igbo culture? Man has never married a man in igbo culture! It's a taboo! Woman can only marry a woman based on a condition that nothing again could be done to maintain the family lineage. And the so-called marriage is without intimacy. The two women will never kiss,hug or se.x. The two of them wont even sleep in the same room. Men from outside are invited to impregnate the so-called wife. So gays like u should never alter the igbo culture to suit ur evil act.
EVIL is you DENYING the FACTS and warping things to suit your myopic reasoning. If you READ (as reading is FUNdamental) then you will KNOW in your history states like Imo, and Amambra had practices of Women-husbands where the women MARRY other WOMEN to give them children.

Tgirl4real: It's not just a matter of what is right to me, it's about how it imparts on the society at large. That is why I have refrained from making this religious.

Secondly, no one is saying they should not live, but our innocent children have the right to a proper understanding of what this is . . .Let them know it is a choice and not what they can't help.
Possibly can not be a choice when I've seen children as young as 4 displaying flamboyant tendencies - WHO "taught" them that? So throughout history your fore fathers who practiced homosexuality in Nigeria as part of their culture (and mind you had NEVER seen " oyinbo' before) who taught them? Your facts are based on empty emotional rants. If you had a disclaimer that these are YOUR thoughts, fine, not pass on your thoughts as LAW and FACT - that is deadly - that is what Hitler and the likes do - move their thoughts as the WORD.
FamilyRe: Homosexuality And Its Adverse Effects On The Family by ozoemeka(m): 1:38pm On Jun 15, 2013
Tgirl4real: I grew up understanding a family to consist of a mother, father and children (and by extension, a group of people related by blood). And I understand a marriage to be the legal relationship between a man and a woman (husband and wife.

The society is now teaching me to accept a family to comprise of 2 parents of same sex as father and mother or 2 parents of different sex as father and mother. Marriage can now be a union between 2 males or 2 females.
I grew up understanding justice to be equality and fairness, the society is now teaching me to accept that justice is when a rich man can pay his way out of trouble and poor man stays there. Society will not teach you anything, you agree with what you want to agree with, stop blaming.

Tgirl4real: My question is: how can these 2 people of same sex procreate?

Did I hear someone say "they can adopt"?

Why adoption I ask again if homosexuality is meant to be innate?
The reasons for marriage are myriad, reproduction being one of them. In ancient greece and rome the men got married for the sole purpose of procreation but had MALE lovers for romance.

Tgirl4real: Homosexuality cannot lay claim to its biological purpose. 2 homosexuals were given birth to by a woman who was impregnated by a man. The same way the kids they will adopt were produced by 2 straight normal parents.

If homosexuality were to be the norm in the society, how would the world's population have increased this much. Moreover, God didn't create 2 men; male and female he made them.

Sex, though pleasurable is also for procreation. Sex between a man and a woman that is!

What happens to our family system if we continue to encourage homosexuality?
Fun fact for you - did you know that when slavery was predominant, the slave masters taught their slaves Ephesians 6:5 as a means of justifying their claims to slavery. Some preachers and priests were TEACHING their congregation this "TRUTH" and letting them know it was the WORD OF GOD they were obeying when they STAYED with their slave masters. How about if we continued on that path? Will you be a free girl capable of typing online in YOUR time? Also Exodus 21:2-11 , 20-21 ;
1 Timothy 6:1-2 ; Luke 12:47-48
So the mere fact that you are FREE from your slavemasters will be considered VIOLATING the rules? Huh? Interesting isn't it? The slaves who did want their freedom and ran away were also considered SICK and DISGUSTING. Doctors diagnosed them with an illness called Drapetomania (NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/15/arts/bigotry-as-mental-illness-or-just-another-norm.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm)[/url] Did you ALSO know that when Women expressed their concern with their husbands they were brandished as Proverbs 27:15 and referred to a DOCTOR? The term for the disease was diagnosed as "Female Hysteria" - YES, you were considered SICK if you held a dialogue with your husband. You were supposed to SHUT UP and repeat orders blindly and absolutely. The church supported it with Colossians 3:18, 1 Peter 3:1, Ephesians 5:22, 1 Tim 2:12 . Do you want to know the cure? Women were sent to churches and doctors and the cure was the doctor inserting an object inside the women to stimulate org@sm and it was said to cure her! Unbelievable? Believe it, this was fact up until the late 19th century. The vibr@tor ? Was a medical instrument STRICTLY for doctors till the 20th century when it has become a s@x toy.

Tgirl4real: Research has shown that kids raised by homosexual parents encounter more problems than those raised by heterosexual parents.

The claims of yours are VERY bogus and DEADLY. Your claims lead people to murder innocent CHILDREN and PEOPLE all on the grounds of hate crimes

Tgirl4real: There is also the health hazard. It has also been noted that there are more homosexual and bisexual men diagnosed with HIV in a community largely populated by heterosexuals.
Again, you and your misguided information. This is FALSE. Lay evidence to your claim. HOMOSEXUALITY does NOT cause diseases, it is not the CAUSATIVE factor in anyone having diseases. Raw sex is, as a female will get syphilis etc from the same. The ancient greeks and as far back as your forefathers in Africa practiced homosexuality - none of them got HIV. HIV was invented discovered in the 1980s.

Tgirl4real: Our kids have the right to a proper understanding of what homosexuality is. The fundamental difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality should be distinguished.
The facts should be CLEARLY distinguished from emotional sentiments and rants like these of yours that have no proof in concrete reasoning, sound logic or factual claims.

Tgirl4real: Homosexuality will kill the family system if not checked. This, I believe is what the government is doing by criminalizing homosexuality.
Get your facts straight and try again. wink

PAGAN 9JA:
really is that so? I know it used to be accepted in many cultures in former days.

not encouraged, but accepted as a fact of life.
If it wasn't that reproduction could not occur from the relationships it would be rampant today and encouraged.
In the literary myth, Hyacinth was a beautiful youth and lover of the god Apollo, though he was also admired by West Wind, Zephyr. Apollo and Hyacinth took turns throwing the discus. His beauty caused a feud between Zephyrus and Apollo. Hyacinth ran to catch it to impress Apollo, was struck by the discus as it fell to the ground, and died. A twist in the tale makes the wind god Zephyrus responsible for the death of Hyacinth. Jealous that Hyacinth preferred the radiant archery god Apollo, Zephyrus blew Apollo's discus off course, so as to injure and kill Hyacinth. When he died, Apollo didn't allow Hades to claim the youth; rather, he made a flower, the hyacinth, from his spilled blood. According to Ovid's account, the tears of Apollo stained the newly formed flower's petals with the sign of his grief. Apollo teaches Hyacinthus to become an accomplished adult. Indeed, according to Philostratus, Hyacinthus learns not only to throw the discus, but all the other exercises of the Palaestra as well, to shoot with a bow, music, the art of divination, and also to play the lyre. Same is the story with the BEAUTIFUL BOY Cyparissus or Cypress - hence the term ; PRETTY BOY / FINE BOY

1,did you support same-se.x marriage,bro Nnamdi to be married to bro John??

2,would you allow ur only son to marry to another man--?,"ur only son"?...(remember ur lineage?)

3,would you (as a prominent man) attend such a show of shame in the name of marriage? ?
I don't prefer it. Nor do I prefer that Obasanjo and Jonathan spend the mega share of Nigeria's oil money and leave the masses poor - but guess what - it happens. The point is that Nigeria and other African countries need to stop acting like that is the most pressing issue we have . Now, wait a minute, when did African Christians begin to speak out against Western ideology? Christianity itself is a Western import to Africa! Africa was colonized with Christianity! Besides, where did the myth that homosexuality was exogenous to African culture come from? Research shows that homosexuality and bisexuality have been present in every culture and in every generation . The native conceptions and practices of male homosexuality in many societies across every region in Africa have been documented in Murray and Roscoe’s Boy-Wives and Female Husbands. Indeed, it was Christianity that introduced homophobia to Africa. Remember Julius Ceasar was known as "The man of every woman and EVERY MAN'S WOMAN" - get it? I think the whole charade of being "anti-african" is simply based on the theories the missionaries may have used to encourage abolishing it - it does not lead to reproduction and thus is a waste of time. Do you know what the word MENTOR means? MENTOR in greek mythology was said to have imparted wisdom in relation to Odysseus and some sources suggest an erotic relationship as well. Hence when you say a Man is a mentor to you it originally meant the man is one who educates, protects, loves, and provides a role model for his eromenos. These men, like their earlier counterparts, played an educational and instructive role in the lives of their young companions; likewise, just as in earlier times, they shared a sexual relationship with their boys. Penetrative sex, however, was seen as demeaning for the passive partner, and outside the socially accepted norm. The only method of separation was moreso classified in terms of active/dominant/masculine and passive/submissive/"feminized



In ancient greece the relationship between the erastês and erômenos was taken seriously, and the older man was required to not only court the boy to win his approval, but also seek permission from the boy’s father before continuing on with the courtship. The young men were often courted by many suitors at once and were therefore able to choose who they wanted to partner up with. Similarly, the pairing wasn’t set for the whole of the boy’s youth, and if a relationship went awry, it was possible to end it—hopefully amicably, although often times the end was a turbulent one. Even the powerful Zeus was smitten by the BEAUTIFUL and "unblemished" boy Ganymede the son of Trojan (Trojan condom anyone?) All the other gods rejoiced to have Ganymede among them, for his beauty filled them with delight. And Ganymede thought pouring nectar to the immortals was mad cool, and when he filled his lover’s cup he made sure to press his lips to it first, giving it half a twist as he placed it in Zeus’ hand.

My actual typo was some of those relationships were S@XUAL , affectionate, romantic and Intimate. Nairaland edited my post. The elders were AFFECTIONATE and ROMANTIC - TOUCHING AND AFFECTIONATE gestures were involved. The closest to it today is what you see in "School Son and School Father relationships".

CelebritiesRe: Michael Jackson's Chaotic Bedroom In Unseen Photos: by ozoemeka(m): 5:41am On Jun 13, 2013
ROSYL: These are the shocking images which further detail Michael Jackson's tragic spiral into prescription pill dependency, revealed as his family pursue a lawsuit against his concert promoters.
The evidence pictures, released by the Los Angeles Police Department this week, show numerous pill bottles, oxygen tanks and medical supplies littered around the superstar's bedroom at the time of his death on June 25, 2009.
One image, which was not among the dozens of pictures shown as part of the Conrad Murray manslaughter trial, reveals a metal stand with a hanging bag of intravenous fluids attached.
In the background are numerous portraits of unidentified babies along with a small picture of Charlie Chaplin. Several canisters of what appears to be oxygen stand next to a wooden dresser topped with gilded mirror.

Michael Jackson's mother Katherine is suing AEG Live, claiming it failed to properly investigate her son's personal doctor Conrad Murray and missed warning signs about his failing health.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 after giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol.
In the new photo collection, prescription pill bottles are seen lined up on a nightstand alongside over-the-counter products and a bottle of water while empty containers roll around on the floor.
Along with propofol, the names of drugs Diazepam and Lidocaine are marked on some bottles' labels.
In one telling image, which appears to have been taken in a car, there is a list of nearby 24-hour pharmacies and the phone numbers.
Conrad Murray's medical bag is also indicated in one picture, according to RadarOnline, stashed high in a closet in the superstar's dressing room.
There are also similar images from Murray's trial including shots of Jackson's iconic embroidered jackets hanging in a closet and stacks of movies on a nightstand.

In IMO State Mbaise, marriage is taken to be a union between a man and a woman as the case may be. But there are circumstances where a marriage between a woman and a woman is permissible. In a situation where a woman has no son or no child, if the husband dies, it is culturally allowed for her to marry a wife. And in this case, she becomes the husband. Like in every case of marriage, this woman goes out, inquires and gets a wife of her choice. She pays her dowry and fulfills other traditional rites as it is done when a man is marrying a woman.

“Like in every case of marriage, this woman goes out, inquires and gets a wife of her choice.”
After that, the woman brings her "wife" home and they start living together as "husband" and "wife." Nobody frowns at it. To have children, both the "woman-husband" and "woman-wife" will agree to allow a man from the same village or neighboring town to sleep with the wife.

The children born by the wife bear the family name of the woman-husband, not that of the man responsible for the pregnancy. I want to add here that the men who sleep with such wives in most cases are married men. And normally it is regarded as immoral, in fact it is a taboo for a married man to sleep with or "father" children from another woman. But in this case an act normally taken to be immoral is allowed.

This is a situation where people are permitted to break taboos and deviate from traditions. This marriage practice pre-dates Christianity and the so- called western culture which most people today blame for all the moral and cultural wrongs in Africa. The same gender marriage is still practiced till date. In other words, there are some families today in Igboland where women are both husbands and wives, fathers and mothers.

There are some homes where woman-husbands are living happily with their woman-wives, though there are not many such families or marriages. Such unconventional marriages and families are in the minority. The fact is that they exist. The fact is that they are part of the local tradition and culture. They are not imports from the West. And this has in no way undermined social cohesion, public order and morality or family values.

“There are some families today in Igboland where women are both husbands and wives, fathers and mothers.”
Some people have tried to argue that this is not really a case of gender marriage because a man comes in to impregnate the wife. But, traditionally, it is the case and it is known as such. It is a case where a woman marries a woman.
The man who impregnates the wife does not come into the picture at all. He has no family responsibility. His duty is only to supply sperm. The family is responsible for the woman-husband and wife.

Some say that same gender unions destroy family values and undermine the upbringing of children. It should be emphasized that children in this case are brought up in an environment where both "parents" are females. And they grow up to be normal children. Some say because child bearing is involved, then it is not same gender marriage. But my response is this: whether for procreation or for pleasure, it is same gender marriage. And it is the couples, not the state that decides whether to marry for procreation and or for pleasure or for any other purpose they deem fit.

Unfortunately, most Nigerians think that same gender marriage is antithetical to procreation. It is not. In fact same gender unions as in this case enrich family values. There have been instances where a partner in a same gender relationship wants children, and goes ahead to have them.

Because of the secrecy, privacy and hypocrisy that go with sexual expression, no one can really say if these female partners have or do not have sex with each other. But like all couples they live together and run their families. But today, things are changing.

“Same gender unions as in this case enrich family values.”
Individuals are becoming more open, more assertive and expressive with their sexual and marriage choices, desires, orientations and identities. The sexual and marriage dynamics are changing rapidly. And Africans must make the necessary social, cultural and legal adjustments in response to - and to accommodate - these changes.

Bull, read your history, The IGBO culture has ancient history that includes homosexual encounters as the ancient Greeks. Marriage was for reproduction however Men also took younger men under their wings and showered them with gifts and affection. The relationship continued even as the older men had children till the younger ones grew into marriage - this relationship was supposed to teach him how to be a man. The relationships were romantic, erotic and often times sexual in nature

Oh realllly?? So I assume you know of Jarmoe Silas? (I'll wait, to see IF you know who that IS.) You know how there's the puppet, the puppet master, the owner of the show and the guy who runs it all. I'll see if you can place where that guy is IF indeed as you CLAIM (since it looks like that's your hobby) you know the BIG GUNS in Naija music. T fresh? You know who those are? My bet is you won't since of course the only ones you know take pictures with are the KIDS in music - iyamya who can; even pronounce miami right? or tonto dikeh? I am CLOSELY connected to Universal London and IMG NY - oh do you even know what those are? Let me keep it as CLOSELY connected, my relationship to those are wayyy more than 'closely connected' but for privacy i'll keep it short. Damn I hate freakin fake wannabes yo. Own up and say hey u know I am not sh*t but I hope to be someday and people will praise you more than this sh*t you claim. You are not even half as popular as umm let me see Alexx Ekubo or even lil kids like Enut, Olamide, JJC, and the new girl who sings.

Christianity EtcRe: For All The Friends And Foes Of Rosicrusian Order(amorc) by ozoemeka(m): 3:45am On Jun 13, 2013
cogitoErgo: Since I became part of R&C Order I have discovered, suprisingly, that most if not all of what is practise in conventional churches are thought wit deeper logical explanations! Though it suld be carefully noted that the Order is absolutly non-sectarian, any religious person is wellcome, male or female. If u want to be a member of R&C, u must necesarily believe in a Deity! What u call the Deity is absolutly ur cup of tea, it culd be Allah, God, Budah, Bra-Ma, Olorun, Chineke, Ubangiji, etc. In AMORC, people ar always asked to pray to the 'God of their heart' i.e, God as u think of it!
Among the most important methods used by AMORC to achieve their aims include meditation, visualisation, concentration and contemplation.
Meditation I culd say is a very deep prayerful condition( forget about all those physical excersises done in churches, it is no prayer at all, infact, the muslims, in my opinion, are closer to praying than christians!).
They charge you for the "truth" and your lesson stops when your "money stops" ? How "benevolent"? Can you make money appear whenever you will ?? wink
CelebritiesRe: Man Claims To Be Michael Jackson’s Gay-Lover by ozoemeka(m): 8:26pm On Jun 11, 2013
henry/deelinkag:
Scott Thorson, Liberace’s former live-in boyfriend, shared private details of his five-year romance with the flamboyant entertainer. Today, Thorson drops a bombshell regarding Michael Jackson, claiming he andthe King of Pop shared an intimate, sexual relationshipin the eighties.

“Michael and I had a relationship that… would cross the boundaries,” Thorson reveals in an exclusive sit down with ET’s Christina McLarty. “That’s about all I’m comfortable saying… We were both young.”

While he concedes that not many will believe that he and Michael were lovers, he says that the two became unlikely friends while he was dating Liberace. After a period of friendship, their relationship blossomed into more.

Thorson details his tumultuous relationship with the King of Pop and more in Behind the Candelabra: My Life with Liberace, a book he wrote in 1998 which is currently being adapted for the big screen featuring Matt Damon and Michael Douglas. He is presently penning a follow-up.

RomanceRe: Ladies, Can You Date A Younger Guy? by ozoemeka(m): 8:21pm On Jun 11, 2013
CFCfan: Ladies dating younger men are colloquially called 'cougars'. In recent times, some American female celebrities have either dated and/or married much younger men. For instance, Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend is 18 years her junior; Mariah Carey's husband - Nick Cannon is 10 years younger; Barcelona defender - Pique is also 10 years younger than Shakira.
i actually like dating older women, the thrill is exciting
