2019: I Won't Criminalize Gay Nigerians - Donald Duke by fabinfos(f): 1:05pm On Aug 27, 2018 |
Former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke has said he won’t criminalize gay Nigerians is President. He made this known in a recent interview with Falz and Laila on the viral show ‘On The Couch’ saying; ‘I think we are an under-performing and under-achieving nation and the basis of our problem is poor leadership’. On the issue of the highly contentious special anti robbery squad (SARS) and if he would scrap the agency, the presidential aspirant said categorially, “Of course I would. Because I do not subscribe to the force where people carry arms and they’re not in uniform.” Donald Duke 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.” “Can you have a gay person in your cabinet?” Laila asked. “His sexuality is private to him,” the former governor answered. I don’t want to know if he’s gay. It’s not my business. My business is if he can perform the assignment that he’s been assigned.” Source: http://kikiotolu.com/2019-i-wont-criminalize-gay-nigerians-donald-duke/ 57 Likes 4 Shares

Lol. This man thinks by this statement he's won the heart of the US, strengthening the idiootic belief that whoever the US supports in any country's presidential elections wins. Nothing could be more hilarious than this. And that's not to even mention the fact that the US under Trump is currently anti-LGTB. Morality should never be excused from the business of governance and legislation. Countries like the US, UK and much of Europe who think they could successfully do that without consequences, are now being confronted with the inevitable. One of such is the proliferation of war-field guns in the hands of the bulk of the citizenry and the daily shootings that happen as a result - in schools, night clubs, malls, etc. tsephanyah:Another gullible African who equates the US to heaven. Banned from the US for making a social media comment in the support of my country, and so? Such gullibility. 115 Likes 12 Shares |

Like it isn't obvious to the discerning why you wouldn't. I'm not homophobic but your statement clearly shows how far detached you have become from the mainstream Nigeria/Nigerians to what their immediate problems truly are. How would you know what Nigerians are on about when your daughter's recent wedding was even outsourced to the Swiss. I wonder what the LGBT population in Nigeria is that you are trying to appease to, even if that was a pressing issue. A politician like you should have known what topics to not even broach but as a DL you sure couldn't. You just shot yourself on the foot to your over religious Nigerians. This continent as in most other things is yet to develop to the extent where sexuality or abortions becomes election issues. QED 19 Likes 2 Shares |
