Anti-gay law: Bishop Matthew Kukah commends president Jonathan

Social critic, commentator and the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Kukah,  has commended President Jonathan for the express signing into law of the anti-gay bill that would criminalize all forms of same sex relationships in Nigeria.

He expressed his approval and delight with the signing into law at a media roundtable held in Sokoto State. He also expressed his gratitude to the National Assembly for expediting action on the bill.

The bishop said; "I also want to commend the National Assembly for the zeal and enthusiasm with which they passed the bill. As far as I am concerned, anybody who lives in Nigeria and most parts of Africa knows that culturally, religiously and morally, this is not our life and culture".

Quick to pass the anti-gay law but not quick to declare assets nor fire the corrupt, liar he selected as the aviation minister. Another diversionary tactic to cajole the low-level of intelligence among Nigerians. Yeye. Now anybody can accuse another man of making sexual overtures at them and that is enough for the ever corrupt Nigerian police to lock u up for ages or at least collect good money from you!

Oh yeah. What does the Bishop say about Boko Haram ravaging the North? Doesn't he feel it would be more beneficial for the lawmakers and President to prioritise the eradication of Boko Haram, and other ills in Nigeria? Is gay marriage even an issue in Nigeria? Even the Pope, whom every catholic is meant to obey, is not homophobic. He would not support this stupid, barbaric, law. The two topmost Christian priests, the Pope and Archbishop of Canterbury, have a more civilized, humane approach. This Bishop in Sokoto is misguided to say the least.

Whether you imprison gays or not Nigeria is already worst than sodom and gomorrah with all this corruption and violence.this bishop collects bribe on a regular i can tell.

In western countries it is easier to come out of the closet as a homosexual than it is to speak against it. The passage of this bill is highly commendable, in a world where sodomy is legalized and celebrated, and accepted as normal

You can condemn gay marriage and support a law that banishes gay marriage, good and fine, but how can you support a law that criminalizes and punishes them for who they are?

Foolish!

Do you know that gayism is a cause placed by God. Please read romans 1, 24- 28th and leviticus 18; 22 & 20;13 all i have to say is this, how will you feel if you find out your son is gay. please think deeply brethren and leave the western world to their fate. do not bring the wrath of God upon yourselves.

I still can't believe people find it comfortable sleeping with the same sex and seeing nothing wrong in that. This act is obviously one of the signs of end time and I'm really scared for the souls of men. The devil is really taking charge gradually.

This commenting slave minded Nigerians. Most you depend on the westerners ehen. Nigerians be truly independent. Stop thinking like slave. The white man is not your master don't let him dictate why to do in your country. 98% of Nigerians like the law.
