I find this statement of his rather contradicting. He still hasn't define his stance yet. It's either he's fully in and totally against the criminalizing of sexual minorities or nothing. No inbetweens!

He should be arrested and jail! Donald Duke is a goat! Mumu man!

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.”

Imagine a person like Donald Duke that I like and respect so much vomiting this kind of rubbish. He's digging his political grave by himself. Sad!

Donald Duke interview

asuustrike1:

Someone want to change the country some persons are bringing their beliefs. With our believe and norms has the economy changed? No

back in the days with our beliefs and norms our economy was great, what we need is a patriot someone who really understand what it means to be a Nigerian..someone who wants to take Nigeria higher not they guy who is willing to sell out our country for his personal gain..!! He just shot himself..!!

If He isn't the one, then who is? Nairaland wahala sef tayer me...May be our minds and brains have been sterotyped towards the recycled gabbages and dead fruits constantly presented to us for consumption..
"i dont want to ever meet a lifeless president ever again" think Nigerians think.....'we are powerful as a crowd in unity of purpose absent selfish end,outside political affiliation,religion etc... Majority of citizens speak and act based on what they gain from a particular government as a result,they call black red and red black..... Please let's do it right come 2019. Think the future,your today is only but a passing phase..

He has just lost millions of votes

Our economy wasn't great back then, it was bad but not worst as it is now. Mr Donald doesn't support gayism but he is interested in what you can deliver. We too hypocritical to judge a guy because of his sex life. If the acclaimed gay is the only alternative to get things done,I do not see reason why he shouldn't be used. Would you rather loose an opportunity to make a nation great because of one stupid norm. There are laws against gays. If they are caught, they are jailed.

A politician makes a sensible, tolerant comment, amounting to nothing more than "keep your business to yourself and I'll leave you alone", and all the Nairaland bigots and hypocrites go crazy! What's worse is that I bet many of the same people ranting nonsense about Duke losing their vote are just as terrible "sinners" by their own religious codes as any of the gays they hate so much, and last I checked, the Christian Bible considers acts like theft, embezzlement, fornicating, adultery and even mere lusting after other men's wives as just as bad as anything gays do. Besides, what part of "He who is without sin should cast the first stone" don't you hypocritical ranters understand?

Gay Nigerians are just as much citizens of Nigeria as everyone else, and therefore just as deserving of having their rights protected. Just because some of you don't like what they do in private doesn't mean you have any right to interfere with their freedoms, as long as they aren't forcibly dragging you into joining them. Nigeria would be a far better country if more of you knew how to mind your own business and leave others alone, and diverted some of that energy you currently pour into sanctimonious outrage at gays into actually practicing the core tenets of your religions by being honest, kind and tolerant towards others, without expecting something from them in return.

Anything to get votes. Politicians are double talks

ObaOloye:
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

Rubbish ,where did u get your stats from?

haaa.....I have not seen a man of this current generation DST had the guts to turn tinz around in this country...but the younger generation have the guts to do it cause they have the knowledge... Nigeria first guy..!!

This one can neva see draw again, alaye, don't waste your money on any form, just go and do charity with the money

Waakanda:
You've just lost my precious vote ... Let me now go and shop for another candidate jare

see this one my guy just said his mind and it's almost true will have more pressing issues gayism is not one od them ..and more over don't vote for someone that will promise you the impossible that's why will are suffering in the hands of buhari

Daviddson:
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.

President Donald Trump is averse to LGBT... His government can't even support any pro gay candidate

U be mumu!!!!
It better to remain with that dead man called president Muhammad Buhari to continue in the office than to allow that Idiooootic gayman called Donald Duke to rule us, tufiakwa!! ALU!!!! Donald Duke should be sentence to death!!
That man deserves not to be on this earth!! Devilish Donald Duke, bringing these America political gay propagative agenda to this country! God forbid! I rather die with Muhammad Buhari.

Most nairalanders just dey read heading. Read the content of his message. He's wrong for his support for homosexuals according to the norms of the society but if such person is a good candidate for any appointment,his or her sexually shouldn't matter

So. of all electoral group, you have decided to pick this uselessand God-forsaken group to protect,. You don't have any good thing to boast or talk about except this thing that has lost its global steam when it's Antichrist proponent-Obama (who married to a certain man called Michael, the one you gullibly called Michelle Obama).
America of this present has turned it's back from this movement and will rather, instead of supporting you, look down on you. Donald Duke, you fall my hand!

kaorama:
Useless talk. Is gay now an election issue in Nigeria?

kaorama:

You are a perfect example of an iberiberic homosepian. Whatever you are is your own cup of tea. Don't bring your problem for the world to see. Everyone should carry their cross and head straight to where you think you can get help.

One word for you : Nincompoop

You can't even spell 'homo sapien'.

zinachidi:

Donald Duke doesn't have to to victimize those Babylonian Batty Men,the police will do their job under The Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria and send their gay asses to jail.

mrkia:
