Nigerian's can neva accept dis rubish,we only recognise a union b/t man and woman.
Honestly, this is pretty stupid like I get u don't want them to get married yeah? But stopping them from having a relationship is just uncalled for, like wtf is your business we have bigger fish to fry and they had time to pass this? Nigerians are just beyond me and btw we are totally hypocrites. If u have pre marital sex with the opposite or same sex you'll still go to hell so wats the fuss??...
Good news,im sooooo happy about this...........Lindodo,u have never post my comment,God is watching u on 3D
How about under age marriage ? That too should be on top of the list . Domestic abuse / violence should be included also .
Jona should pls use his signature o I don understand dis one whr hm dey impersonate iyabo now.
Honestly in this situation I refused to be educated. I am in full support of this ban.
Good but most of this politicians are gay don't let them deceive you.

#dat igbo gal nwere connection wit mesut ozil#
Glory be 2 God.now dis Lady shld be careful if possible relocate 2 a country that support same sex marriage. She lost her show 4 featuring a fag on it, now she'll probably go 2 jail.
Nigerias standin up for wats gud,,,,,super cool
Nice one.... We have enough problems in this country already.I also say no to same sex marriage.
God punish this #Senators.....,just because they have nothing to gain from it...nor it is of any value to the economic growth of this cursed #Nation....!
You would never hear them #BAN any other thing that contributes to the steady growth of corruption per period....,for instance #Immunity,third term in office,rotation of high office holders from one position to another.....
Shalom....!
As they are banning it they should also ban underage marrige ooo. Not jst the 1ns they feel favor them because what is wrong is wrong n i doubt any1 would happily profess being gay in naija bans or no bans----C21
I no fit laugh,jail finz..let's kick out gay n lesb in Nigeria..#teamihate gays
I no fit laugh,jail finz..let's kick out gay n lesb in Nigeria..#teamihate gays
oda be!
uti nwanchukwu will need to relocate to anoder country.... Lol. Kudos to d Senate
Was it ever legal ? Or does it mean they can indulge in homosexual acts but no marriage. My religion is against this : Gay,Lesbianism,Bisexuals etc. So I support the ban
Finally,dis is de only gud thing I've seen senate do,,
I don hear
May god bless the senate for this.
bastards why not deatj sentence for anybody found guilty of corruption! Or 50 year retirement age? Leave trivial matters and focus on matters that affects the well being of the populace!
Nigeria don do new year resolution. Y don't they also do smthing abt Yerima's typ of marriage
President Jonathan,sign the bill ASAP
GOOD LET NGERIA NOT JOIN THE CRAZINESS HAPPENING IN THE US...
Thank God. Atleast they did one thing right.
Uti and Alex take note!
i hope these senators also adhere to this bill and for goodness sake what is GEJ waiting 4, he shld jst sign and approve this bill. it's bad enuf dat odas gals try to snatch anoda lady's man, it will be worst if guy also try to snatch a guy 4rm a lady. so GEJ shld jst sign and pass the bill into law
Wow! Thank God.am happy about this
Way to go
Gaylords and Lesbians Beware...UTI, Alex Ekubo and Co. Una jail term go long...LOL
Y nah? As a gay rights activist, I condemn dis act. People shud be free to marry whomeva D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ want, regardlessod dia sex. Nigeria remains a primitive country and dis act doesn't aid †ђξяε̲̣̣̣̥ claim as a developing world power. Let's just wait 4 d backlash 4rm oda nations!
For once dey hav done sometin rite..tank God
#epiphany#

Which gay person ɪ̣̝̇§ ready to come out publicly in naija,more or less get married...waste of bill,wat will happen τ̅ kidnappers and those ugly senators engaging in child marriage?
Funny law.
Abeg they should also include the clause of jail without any option o. No be say dem go say 14yrs or pay fine of 20 naira. Goodluck had better approve dis
Oh thank God dis is wht am waiting to hear all dis while, pls mr president should quickly approve it
Good work....
Shey na only marriage? That means they can go ahead and live in sin forever. Who needs marriage anyway? They don't hold water these days. So, all my lesbos and gayos, keep licking and humping away. Good luck. And oh, if you can afford it, travel to another country, get married and come back home. They only penalize you when you marry in their country Nigeria. Have fun!!!
These fuckers should go and pass a bill that actually betters the lives of Nigerians... Hellooooo.... Like the Petroleum Industry Bill, A$$holes...... who gives a toss what two consenting adults do in their bedroom??
Talk about misplaced priorities. Should moral or ethics based bills be at the top of your legislative agenda???? Or bills that actually impact on the dysfunction that pervades every pore of the Nigerian State? GTFOH with that nonsense....
Linda post my comment nah
God bless Nigeria ma country n elect leaders dat wil kip dis up,Good job.

Till its approved, its still null and void... Gay people go soon relocate go ghana
GOOD
Mr. President shldnt act otherwise o, God designed it a male and a female , whoever chose to change the ways of God deserve to die.
Atleast they use dre sixth sense for dis one. Cos I wonder wat dis country we look like wen dey allow sure union!!!
At least that is one good thing they have done... Kudos to them.
Nw dats sometyn 2 make me smile #*karlishah*
Best news I hav heard all day
Fuel into fire, Nigeria is already the most hated country what now that we are homophobic??? @Wittydarhny
Beta! Thank God bfor nija go turn to sodom and gomolia
Ban lol.. How many peepz dey go church or mosque go marrY dis days.
Yes yes yes...nice one
Still on d matter
There are worst things to look for to ban in Nigeria,LOOK out for such. Same sex is not our problem in Nigeria.
They need to set their priorities right. First BAN CHILD MARRIAGE!!! BUNCH OF NONENTITY. Gays are definitely adults before deciding to marry. What about the poor innocent girl child who can't speak or fight for herself that has been forced into the slavery called marriage? ?? KMT... I shake my head for this country because it's clearly a hopeless one.
Height of joblessness....instead of them to focus on more pressing issues lyk finding out the truth about what OBJ wrote to Jonathan in the letter, they r busy interfering in people's personal life...whts my business if a woman marries a woman, does it put food on my table or send my Future kids to school or provide for me to cater for my extended family. Jobless mofos
And these r d same people that passed d bill on underage marriage...smh....na joblessness and too much money they disturb them..
Homosexuals hurt no one. How about Yerima who's abusing and dumping little girls under the cloak of religion? Outlaw sanctioned pedophilia first.
Hehhehehhehe, no be small "yerimalistic" tendencies. ROTF
Linda, it can be so frustrating commenting on your blog...I want to say something about Mary Mary'sErica's gospel cover.
The dress is nice but not ideal for that. All things are expedient but not all things are permissible. 1Cor8:12 And when you sin against other believers by encouraging them to do something they believe is wrong, you are sinning against Christ. I could wear a dress that isn't bad but if my Spirit says remove that dress and I don't then I've hurt my spirit but someone else can put on the same dreaa and feel very comfortable. I'm so surprised at the comments I read. Anyway, we are living in a world where abnormal things are now normal.
You all can call me anything but I really don't care. I'm just pouring out my mind and I'm happy I did. 'If meat causes my weak brother in Christ to sin, I won't eat meat near him'.
U go soon get pile finally...
God bless u my dear
this law should have been enacted ever sinnce. Its a good thing to know that finally, this stupid gay and lexy marriage will be nullified in this part of the world
Asin eh. N 2 think Same love was receiving wide air plays. Nonsensical idiats
Faggot!!!
of all the issues on ground. you still have time to think about what some pple r doing in their closets. Rubbish.
do something about child labor ,do something about corruption,do something about the well being of the citizen.
when all these are in place then you can have the moral right to criminalize whatever. and to some foolish Nigerians celebrating that shit call 14yrs......get over yourselves already. no wonder south Africans has no regards for you pple. nelson Mandela that we all celebrated today gay the gay pple freedom to do what they like. and SA is far better than this rat hole we call Nigeria. celebrate anti corruption. celebrate uninterrupted power supply...then we can now come back to gay issue. some pple in the aso rock are busy feasting on Nigerian money and they are distracting you will this issue that has little or no concern with you fools.
You know sometime when something is paining u the best thing to do is to hit you skull on the wall. So what? If we have other pressing issue we should let another evil continue abi? Never! Leave opposite sex sin first (not saying is right but something are just to aborminable to be thought of) why have relationship if it not the sole purpose of marriage. You and your kind should stay away frm our beloved country so we can deal with pressing issue not bring same sex marriage to disturb a disturbed country. Dig it
lINDA u DID NT POST MY COMMENT, WHY NAH
Hello Linda. This is kind of for you as I believe your voice on this will be heard louder.
Why does section three say, "Only marriage contracted between a man and a woman either under Islamic Law, Customary Law or the Marriage Act is recognized as valid in Nigeria". My emphasis is on "Islamic Law, Customary Law or the Marriage Act". It doesn't seem to include the 'church'. That might be something to look into. Except they want us to beilieve the Churh is already covered by the marriage Act. Be that as it may, they should have spelt it out like the others.
I just thought to bring this to your notice so you can look into it. If I'm correct, your blog will be a good place to start a campaign to get that changed before it is signed oficcialy.
It won't be a good thing to see Christian marriages being termed as illegal in Nigeria.
Kind regards.
You r a Fool...Idiot!! Is it not d same Religion Europeans introduced to u "Xtianity", d pple who introducd d religion 2u Legalised it so WTF r u sayin!! We aint Talkin abt Religion here we talkin abt pples right and Freedom who are Adults not kids u dis greedy Bastard self Centerd Ugly Ogre. Fairness n Equity I stand For as far as it aint Tramplin on oda pples life!!
Shey your religion is against straffing a man you're not married to but you do it anyway? Hypocrites! I can't even deal abeg.

The west is trying to legalise Gay marriage in Nigeria to cultel the influx of Nigerian immigrants using Gay to seek asylum in the west!

Christian Marriage not included???? Or dont I understand English?
Nigeria my country...its so sad that our Senate doesnt even understand basic human rights. ..how can u send a man to jail becos of who he chooses to sleep with...Gej will not be stupid enough to sign that bill.
..if he does he will expose his unintelligence even more than it is right now
If you can't prove it don't talk about it oh. Let's be fair, don't conclude based on hear say.
Ode ni e sha. Are de Nigerians?
UTi and Alex are no more, its now Alex and IK Ogbonna. Btw Derenle no b gay, all na na gra gra.
While I hate the law... this comment wins
I support gay marriage nobody should tell a fellow human been who he or she should marry to and for those who quote bible on this issue should also remember that the same bible supported slavery. i am not gay but i still think gays deserve the same equal right as me. i guess Nigerian is not yet an advance country to think with open mind.
Are you one of them GAY? Cos u sound pained. Faggot
Dey banned d Union.. nt d act....
Dey banned d Union.. nt d act....

Irritated. Nd nw D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ banned Same sex marriage. We need A̶̲̥̅̊ free nd fair government. Tank God 1 ȋ̝̊̅§ down. It remains d other! Ban Child marriage nw..
