LGBTQ Vs HOMOPHOBES In The African Society. (discuss) by chingle5(m): 1:09pm On Jun 24, 2022
I want to start by saying I am a Philosophy student from the University of Lagos. To be honest I hate that course but what I really like about the course is the need to ask fundamental and critical questions about anything which is what philosophy is majorly about don't let anybody tell you otherwise, which explains why they are always in constant conflict with religious people because of their beliefs are been seen as dogmatic. Regardless as a human being, you just need to question the nature or situation of things in our environment (No wonder it is compulsory in most tertiary institution fields in Nigeria).

Now to my question coz this whole thing is about to get more complicating. Please note this while exercising your brain: In every Generalization there is always an Exception

The Economy/Society: We both know that most African countries are been tagged The third world countries, not taken as equal, consider less, consume more than they produce, countries that are in an endless loop of development, religious but not practical, still practice traditional tribalistic acts in this modern age of science and technology and other bad vices that is been associated with our countries...

Now we both know the high level of homophobic nature in most African countries, I don't need to start explaining all that. One thing i noticed is that most African people yearn for a better lifestyle or will rather wish to go to places with a better lifestyle such as the developed countries as we usually call them. But what surprise me of all is that they are miraculously about to tolerate to a certain extent the nature of the LGBTQ group which seems questionable to me.

The Questions
In solving a conflicting situation, most people usually opt for a more diplomatic solutions a kind of mutual benefit for both parties that are involved and mutual understand/benefit has a huge part to play in all this.

Question 1
Now with all this does it mean that the developed countries are just more understanding and practical in their decision making and the African societies are just nonunderstanding and too religious in their decision making ? regarding the perception of the LGBTQ group.

Question 2
Let think about a country where the LGBTQ group is the majority and the heterosexual is the minority now I am not saying that you should start thinking there are more gay men there coz LGBTQ group means there are other type of different sexualities.. Me for 1 I can tell you that atrocities will be committed but we have also seen atrocities committed in the heterosexual communities where father's sleep with their daughters and mother's sleep with their sons so I will place it in a equal standard and I will tell you why.. if it is an uncivilized country with little regard for human lives such as we have seen terrorists, herdsman, unknown gunmen and others it will be very high but if it is a civilized country with a very high regard for human lives in developed countries it will be very low.. I am not saying it will not be there but it will be very low.. But thinking deep what other things will happen?

Question 3
Using the rule of double standard
This miraculous change/behavior of Africa people to not tolerate the nature of the LGBTQ group in developing countries and to tolerate the nature of the LGBTQ group in developed places is it a Natural behavior or a Learned behavior because most people tend to draw a religious view or opinion towards the LGBTQ group for that behavior but it is the same holy book that teach we should love thy neighbor as yourself or how is it been put but in this situation they are human being like you and i. In philosophy it is the Golden Rule we use, which is similar, which says .. you should treat others the way you want to be treated yourself.

Question 4(Not completely related)
Regarding education, I don't know which group value education the most in Nigeria is it the struggling parents who toll day and night to send their children to school hoping that one day they may become something in the future or the school students (undergraduate) aka leaders of tomorrow who feel that their time is been waste with the constant strike, delay, bad governmental policies which tries to make money from them off education and still make access to it hard.. having to cheat their ways or just do la cram la pour or the stakeholders are disillusioned, who feel they are fighting for our students rights but in all seriousness are only fighting for their own benefits or the government officials who's own children don't know the meaning of ASUU.

With these statistics I can say Education is not highly valued, If Education is not high valued and many people are not really enlightened does it mean that we are the cause of our own headaches and Education still have a very long way to go coz we fail to look at things from every angle and not only from only one angle

Let Discuss!!!

Kudos to the YouTube channel itscomplicatedchannel I don't know if he is a redpiller or we just need to give a deeper though to what is happening in our societies.

To start with, I found it hard to keep up with your write up. Your sentence structure should be simplified in future write ups.

Y'all have this bias of believing a developed country is an evidence of "everything right".

Yea, they could be right in science and technology but not in morality.
Our law in Nigeria isn't perfectly at work, what still keeps everything holding is our way of life. The respect instilled in us by our culture, the morals and all.
If we were as mannerless as the western world, most of Africa will be a failed state.

Culture is shaped by religion, experiences, affiliation with nature and the common desires within human.
Before Christianity and Islam, men are marrying to women (not fellow men) in almost all part of Africa. That should tell you that the new found religion isn't the reason.
Christianity and Islam frowns at fornication, but we fornicate regardless.

Can you imagine? Are you seriously characterizing humans by their sexual orientation?

Wherever humans are, regardless of sexuality,
vawulence will reign.

Why not just put it like this: Let's IGNORE God, if God isn't in the picture will you be okay with LGBTQ+?
Say it that way instead of cutting corners.

If a reference for "morality" doesn't exist, then nothing is good and nothing is bad. A good man is the same as a bad man. A straight man is no different from a gay. A killer is no different from a doctor. Hitler is no different from Mandela.
