This is why despite my support of Biden, for immigration reasons, it is clear that this LGBTQI thing is an agenda. And this has always been my problem with Democrats. What works for people in California and New York may not work for people in Alabama and Tennessee just like what works for Americans may not work for people of other countries.

It is one thing for you to want LGBTQI rights for Americans. When you now make it mandatory worldwide and threaten sanctions, it is just hypocrisy. What is the point of expanding protections of an issue that is deeply unpopular with Nigerians? But like I said, it is clear there is an agenda with this thing. I do not believe that Biden nor Obama before him a gay lovers, this is politics, powerful rich, donor white men behind the scenes are driving these decisions clearly.

Anyway, overall the real lesson in this is every country has to strive for self-sufficiency. I am certain these sanctions are somehow connected to aid which our government regularly applies for and relies upon to embezzle. Real countries do not seek aid, they strive to be self-dependent. These sanctions will not move the needle with Russia for example, because despite them being against gay rights (and rightly so) sanctions do not affect them in anyway.

With the level of confusion and chaos all over the world at this time, same-sex attraction is the problem of Biden and the United States. Worse is the fact that Nigeria has been reduced to nothing but a nation dependent on others. How are we going to beg for vaccines and ventilators on social media should the US government sanction us?

On a more serious note, the sanction will force Nigeria to review its gay laws and change them almost immediately. We are not in any way equipped to manage the effect of sanctions from developed nations.


You're thinking like an educated man.

but you forget the US is also dependent on a lot of countries too.

russian economy has been crashing for decades, russia has dropped from top 5 to 9, china uses currency manipulation to maintain their edge, china isn't the kind of country you want to take aids from, gays no dey their agenda but they will take advantage of your economy and ride it at the detriment of your people

How will they ride your Economy? That's another western propaganda. Every human wants to come out top irrespective of where he finds himself.
Every country wants to exploit exploit and Exploit .

The west will give you aid and attach it with economic policies that will return the money back to them at the detriment of who?

China on the other hand will give you loan for years to do whatever you want to with it but will take over it after your years elapse with meeting up with the payment but will return it after their funds are recovered.

Which country is more manipulative?

This is my problem with America. When did America even allow gay marriage. It's not up to 20 years oooo. Yet automatically other countries need to tow this line right away and immediately. Give other countries time as well and let it happen organically. If you're really serious about supporting LGTBQ in Africa provide support to groups already fighting that fight. They already exist even in Nigeria. But it seems they have other agenda.
You don't get it. This memo is against anti gay countries, there are lots of countries whom don't support gay marriage but they didn't create sanctions to harm gay people, he's against the ones who created laws to purge gay people, not gay marriage and you are right, we have lots of foreign NGOs fighting for gay rights in Nigeria, e.g ISHRAI, TIERS, Greenville etc, they all have foreign aid. This is just public support

It's not a human right to allow men fukc other men's anus! If we allow this new cultural fad to invade our African societies, we will end up with all types of cultural abnormalities.. Men having babies with fellow men! What nonsense! Goan grow a vagina naah..

People are no more gay because they were born so, No! They now choose such sexual lifestyle as part of either peer pressure or in desperation to belong and showcase the new fad, because certain twisted souls somewhere are determined to lecture the rest of us on what is right and what is wrong... This is gradually leading to the Normalisation of this abnormality! It must be resisted!

The way these sorry looking liberal radicals are going, after this , the next project will be to allow humans marry their dogs or their snakes! And this will be done with all the fanciful arguments they can muster while making those with opposing views look like members of the KKK..

Sensible!

Very sensible speech.

My question is: DOES HUMAN RIGHT ENTAIL THAT MEN AND WOMEN ARE FREE TO MAKE ANY CHOICES AND ASPIRATIONS WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS?

SINCE WHEN DID U.S.A. REPEAL NATURAL LAW?

NATURAL LAW, the last time i checked, CANNOT BE REPEALED OR ABROGATED BECAUSE IT PREDATES MEN AND WOMEN AND ALL MAN MADE LAWS IS LEGITIMATE TO THE DEGREE OF CLOSENESS AND CONFORMATION TO THE LAW OF NATURE.

America is loosing it.

Another World Power will arise.

IT'S NOT ABOUT SHOWCASING CENTURIES-OLD BIBLE AT SWERING IN. THAT SHOW IS DIFUSED BY THIS GAYISH DISPLAY.

Here we go.......

Joe Biden’s long advocacy for gay rights reached a historic moment when the president-elect named former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg as his transportation secretary.
If confirmed, Buttigieg will become the first openly LBGTQ Cabinet member.
But Biden’s support of the gay community has at times caused a stir.
At a sensitive moment in 2012, then-Vice President Biden inadvertently prodded his boss, President Barack Obama, to speed up his public affirmation of same-sex marriage.

Point of correction: Ric Grenell was the first openly-gay cabinet Secretary when he served as Trump’s Director of National Intelligence

Exactly back to my Original point. Will America have any power or mouth to interfere with our domestic politics if we weren't so reliant on them in the first place? Blame your leaders for this. You want their money, military support and ability to migrate to their country but don't want them to control you? Have you ever seen any kind of relationship where the benefactor does not call the shots?

Have you ever seen America open their mouth to tell China which domestic policies to implement? China is currently jailing and killing Uighur Muslims in their country but America no fit open mouth for that one. That's the power of prosperity and self sufficiency my man.

Trump did not care about other countries domestic laws but all of you that were abusing him and supporting Biden I don't want to hear pim from your mouths. Because anyone who knows global politics will know this is what democrats always do.

Laws are creation of the mind so has to attain a level of control in order to arrive at a state of order, or close to order.

Sticking my d*ck in the asz of anyone no matter the gender should raise just one concern.

Does my sticking and f*cking affect anybody adversely apart from the 2 or more persons involved?

This question has a lot of logic to it but I am afraid Africa is not yet ripe for such logical reasoning. So therefore, at this time, the issue of enforcing a law on an entity to accept your view is contrary to nature law.

Let Africa grow and face other pertinent concerns. Goodluck shouldn't have gone far with that brash law to denigrate the right of same sex couples. But I know it is those religion fanatics that pushed him to it.

Let all sheath their sword. Let Africa and the world tackle other pertinent issues and pretend such obsolete law against human rights don't exist, and with time, we will grow to understanding why a man loves a fellow man or why a woman prefers a feminine gender.

It is all a matter of time.

Let love rule.

Are you gay? How did you become gay? I really can't understand how it happens. Sometimes, I wonder if it's a psychological issue. Two females having sex is one thing, but anal sex is not natural. If it was back in the day, before all these lubricants were invented, men won't be able to have sex with each other at all.

The goal of sex is reproduction. Anus is for excretion. It wasn't made for sex.

Any nigerian that supports trump is purely insane.what did he do for them??.absolutely nothing. No appointment,no aids and to make matter worst,he put them on a visa ban and called them all sort of names.
The same trump that couldnt do anything with the lgbt laws in America where his executive order against them serving in the military was dismissed by the court is same person some foolish Nigerians are celebrating.
When would we learn to look beyond our noses in this country?.

Please, I will explain some things if you can be civil in your conversation.

Even though I do not need to support Trump, of course, he's not my president. But calling people foolish or other names for their political affiliation is not good.

Okay, what Trump did for Nigeria or Africa at large?? Well, you might not know because of almost 100% negative coverage of the man.
I do not care about some appointments of some Nigerian Americans who Biden appointed.

Why?

Because, they are going to do the bidding of America and seek its interest, not Nigeria. America is their country and they pledge their loyalty to its flag totally. Every decision they are going to take on that job will be of America's interest and not Nigeria's. So quit the aids and appointment narrative because it does not add one kobo to Nigeria's economy or well-being.

Let me take you back to the days of Jonathan—where he was frustrated by the Obama admin, in refusing to sell weapons and some financial sanctions, while Boko Haram was ravaging the country aimlessly. He used the Leahy law for this purpose citing human rights abuse.

Please, give me a break.

The same Obama that was droning citizens in Yemen, and other middle east countries. Obama utilizes more drones in two years into his presidency than when they were at war in Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush. The guy was busy droning citizens with reckless abandon, and when he was confronted with his war crimes, he said they are collateral damage due to their bogus and nonsensical "war on terror" narrative. If you doubt me, read more about the files from Edward Snowden and Julius Assange.

Trump overrule this law, and sold weapons to Nigeria and even remove the embargo that denied Nigeria to assess weapons from other countries under US influence.

Also, Trump was the first president to question US military overreaching tendencies towards countries that do not warrant such military intervention. He openly said the US military is not the world police and the UN should step up to its responsibilities.

He stopped more militarization of US camps in Niger and Cameroun. He removed US military generals from Africa and redeployed them to focus more on China and Russia.

If I may ask? what on hell are US high military generals doing in sub-Saharan Africa. Is Africa a major threat to them? He ended US occupation in Somalia and reduced US military involvement in the continent rather engage through trade—which of course China is doing.

The carnage in Libya is still there and under Trump, Africa can at least breathe of the threat of financial sanctions and military oppression.

And for visa restriction, and please not ban as you stipulated, yes I somewhat disagree with it. But can you totally blame the man? America is facing an immigration crisis that has lingered for years. Congress has refused to solve this issue and it was one of the reasons Trump was elected. America needs an immigration overhaul or the country will soon collapse in its face.

Trump wants to prioritize merit instead of chain migration. He was merit to be sole for immigration to America. I think he wants to move it from the present 15% quota to 75%. Even I do not agree with this approach, but the man is just doing want he believes is best for his country.

Do you think Canada is stupid with its immigration policies? They are busy taking our best from us. Medical doctors, professionals, and other top ends skill sets. Go to major companies in Nigeria, the majority of their top managers and highly skilled individuals have migrated to Canada or contemplating to do so.

The British just announced their merit-based immigration system. Even the Dubai government will now start giving citizenship to certain professions.
All countries are busy shoring up their economy with the right people to bolster their economy.

And for the alleged "shithole" comment. Okay, I completely agree is bad, but can we say it is racist? The same guy called some US cities far worst. He said San Francisco is a shit city because of the politicians in an attack on Pelosi. Truly some part of SF, you will see Americans shitting on the street and taking their bath as well. This is a city considered to be one of the wealthiest in the world, yet thousands of Americans are sleeping on the street. And SF is predominantly white.

So Trump is just very arrogant, rude, and unapologetically blunt which is unbecoming of a politician. As complex as the guy is, there something you cannot take away from him. He loves his country and does not read any color to it. As long you profess yourself as an American and believe in its values, you are good with him.

And lastly for the LGBTQ issue, what he did is barring the US military from funding the bills of people who want to engage in transgender operation which will definitely lead to them not entering the military. That is, you can not say you are transgender, then applied for the US military to fund the act to make you one. And this lead Trump to argue people who do not know their sex or finding it difficult to ascertain their sex will not be good for the military or better still at the war front.

And by the way, Trump is the first president to appoint an openly gay man into his cabinet. So that does for it for the anti-gay narrative. In fact, he has stated it many times that gay people in America have the same right as all Americans and should not be discriminated against.
