Very sane notion by Donald Duke, but he forgot that Nigeria is a country filled with savages who aspire to be refugees in the sane and accommodating foreign lands that they have denied their own society.

Why would he?? When Cross River and Akwa Ibom States have the highest population of Gaylords both in government and corporate spheres. He's used to them cos they've been around him for a damned long time

Chai bros don fail B4 starting line.

While I agree with this stance, 70% of Nigerian electorates are not enlightened enough for him to start with this opening line.

Heck even for me, gay is not what we should be talking about at this point biko.

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 warfield guns in the hands of the bulk of the citizenry and daily shootings that result - in schools, night clubs, malls, etc.
you just been blacklisted by the CIA. Bye bye to western countries VISA

Former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke has said he won’t criminalize gay Nigerians is President
fabinfos:
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.”

The sex is consensual o. HOW IS IT YOUR BUSINESS YOU STUPID MÕRON? angry

No wonder they see two goats fucking peacefully and they go carry stone dey throw them. angry Is it your dick or your ass? angry
Re: 2019: I Won't Criminalize Gay Nigerians - Donald Duke by Lazlow: 3:29pm On Aug 27, 2018
Lol. Nigerians commenting here sound like illiterates. He never said he's planning on legalising gay marriage or even the act.


He's merely saying he won't be criminalizing them so far they keep it private and amongst themselves because being gay does not take away their basic human rights.Did the president that criminalized gay marriage in 2012 turn the state of Nigeria around? He used that as a distraction for gullible Nigerians while the country went to hell.

Nigerians acting holier than thou since 1960 and still ranked one of the most corrupt countries on earth and also very poor and backward along with most other African countries. Makes one wonder. huh
Re: 2019: I Won't Criminalize Gay Nigerians - Donald Duke by Nobody: 3:30pm On Aug 27, 2018
Noooooooooooooooooo! Nigeria ain't ready for this kinda statements... Error!!! This is Nigeria and not USA. Trust people from the north to use this against him.

Re: 2019: I Won't Criminalize Gay Nigerians - Donald Duke by damihayjay: 3:33pm On Aug 27, 2018
honestly, i have come to a conclusion that many naiaralanders dont read and understand before commenting, they only read to comment. infact they only read headlines......understand the word"affront" first and you will get the remaining.

Re: 2019: I Won't Criminalize Gay Nigerians - Donald Duke by felaismyhero(m): 3:39pm On Aug 27, 2018
should this man have said this in public? most nigerians are too narrow-minded to comprehend him.just look at the comments on this forum,and for me,either he or atiku is the smartest of all the presidential aspirants.see them all forming morals: yahoo boys,oloshos,flatinoes,afonjas,xtians,muslims etc.they have forgotten that discrimination is discrimination no matter the form.are gays mad? no,they arent,some of the best artiste in the world are gays;and am still yet to see two mentally unstable humans hold meaningful conversations!
Re: 2019: I Won't Criminalize Gay Nigerians - Donald Duke by koladebrainiac(m): 3:39pm On Aug 27, 2018
gay is not an election issue here in Nigeria. even in US republicans do not support gay right or abortion

A question to know if he has mind of his own or not
