Dear LIB readers: What's your thoughts on Nigeria's anti-gay law?

President Jonathan yesterday Monday Jan. 13th reportedly signed a bill that criminalizes same-sex relationships and gay rights groups in Nigeria. The bill contains penalties of up to 14 years in prison.

Some people feel making this into law can get people unjustly killed or jailed and there are those who feel that Nigerians should be worried now because this is a homophobic country. And in all sincerity I am also worried. I hope incidences like Aluu4 doesn't become rampant. People who are mistaken to be gay can get lynched by a mob because our government has officially made it a crime. You know how we like to take laws in our own hands and enforce jungle justice. Hopefully this doesn't happen.

What's your take on the new anti-gay law?

The truth is with or without that law,gay is something that will go round in this world and as time goes on Nigeria will not b against it anymore. The bible stated "life and death is a choice" n d bible advised chose life so u may have life,d bible didn't force life on anyone,if d gays decide to chose their ass being busted then its their choice.

Is it that Nigerians don't read or what? The bill prohibits same sex marriage and public gay rights groups. The bill DID NOT prohibit same sex relationships. Please Linda stop peddling falsehood. You should be the one educating people. Haba!

What I don't understand is how some people will want to impose their satanic culture on other people.
It is very unnatural and even unhealthy to be gay. The bible is against it too.

It is nothing but madness for a man to be having sex with another man.
A man is NEVER created to be having sex with another man.
This has nothing to do with human rights or hate.
It has everything to do with the highest level of societal decay and ungodliness to be practicing same sex.
A true Christian will never do such thing because it is against the teaching in the bible except if they want to rewrite the bible.

Please if you are a man and you like having sex with another man or a woman who like having sex with another woman , please seek help because you need it.
If you dont want to seek help, please just pack your bags and go to America before we come for you because we will NEVER allow you to corrupt our children with your immorality . This is what the fight against same sex is all about.

Jonathan did well on this and he deserve our encouragement .
If only Jonathan can wake up and start doing good things like this, it will be good.Jonathan has been sleeping for too long on the job.

Jonathan should also come up with death penalty for kidnappers and ritualists.
He need to sell at least 5 of the aircrafts in his presidential fleet of jets.. He need to stay at home more iinstead of aimlessly roaming the world .
He needs to start commissioning real projects all over the country. I mean real new projects and not commissioning projects already done by the late President Yaradua.
He need to sack any non performing minister. All corrupt ministers need to go.

I doubt if Jonathan has the courage and will to start doing good things.

I think he has passed the stage of no-return.
It is not every one that is blessed to know how to use power positively and effectively.

I doubt if Jonathan is really aware of the enormous opportunity that he has to turn things around in our country and that he himself will be the number one benefactor should he decide to do this.

Ayo Shogunro shut your trap!!!

There is nothing 'lawyer' about you that implies wisdom in saying the anti-gay law is a stupid legislation...

Guy, many NASS members, who enacted that law are lawyers...

Legislation tries to approximate what constitutes morality within a given social context...

Most Nigerians express gestures of revulsion at the least mention of homosexuality...

The sacrilegious act only gained currency in the west because of moral permissiveness....

There is everything Nigerian about the anti-gay law for meeting the popular yearning in this clime!

I support d anti gay bill,let america stay away frm dis dis is nt their country and anty linda,if gay was natural,y is it dat they always get link cos d muscles in their anus had expanded,apart frm religion,if every one turns gay,hw will d world be in d next 20 years,cos their will no more be reproduction,at least dis is one brave step taking by d president(I say no to LGBT)

You are right. People are going to be persecuted, maimed and even killed. Gay rights are human rights, for goodness' sake. If that law is based on religion, then let fornication (any sexual intercourse outside marriage) become a crime. Nobody who has ever had premarital or extra marital sex has the moral right to condemn or persecute gays. This law is a disgrace.

Reading all the comments seems quite interesting. I don't think criminalising people isn't the way to go. If you criminalise gay people then we should also criminalise adultery as well.

Yes , I dont support gay or same sex marriage in any way however you can't arrest someone because they love someone whether you like it or not. Thats silly.

If you want pass a law like this just say in our society we do not condone it publicliy simple. The governemt has given rights to people to start mob lynching people, vigilante society and hostile enviroment.

I dont agree the international or western world has the right to dictate we accept same sex etc . Thats also wrong..on the other hand they are protecting their investment , they don't care whether people are gay or not. Doing business with Nigeria to them might raise some flags..hence loosing money which they do not want...anyways the Law is still a stupid move..we have more important laws that needed to be passed over 20yrs ago.

Yes I have, u need to watch animal planet on male animal having sex with another male. Please lets preach tolerance and love. I don't condone or support gay people. But I'll not spend my time condemning ot judging them. Am not sure where to find these videos but I'll try YouTube. Next time I see a documentary on animal planet I'll record it. This is coming from an unbiased Christian Nigerian. Why not encourage our government to fix other things wrong in the country and leave innocent people alone.

Human rights my dick! Most of us don't even understand the law. Passing the anti-gay bill was the best thing the president could do. Majority of Nigerians are irritated by this gay folks and could hardly tolerate them. U.S was first to condemn Nigeria. If there are so bothered with the human rights aspect of the issue, why then is polygamy banned in the U.S? Out of the 50 states in the U.S, why haven't 25 passed the pro-gay bill? Should we really allow the typeof human righte that made Zimmerman shoot an unarmed Travon in our country? Should we really let this happen? Nigerian constitution was built from religion, now should we start ammending the constitution based onwestern propanganda? Should african culture and belief be overlooked just to satisfy a few minority group of indecent people?

Really? Have you ever looked at an underage girl desiringly? Have you ever collected funds or overcharged for something you didnt do or of lesser value? Have you ever forced yourself on another woman bc you felt you spent too much money on her and you deserve to be compensated? You know, you shouldn't throw stones when you've got a glass house yourself. You have at one point in time broken the law, shall we know proclaim death penalty for you. Im not gay, I have gay friends (it takes some getting used to but they dont affect my rights, so I dont affect theirs- live and let live), but please let your comment show proper reasoning and decorum. Thank you.

I dont agree with your point, I think the gays have the right to use their dick however they see fit. Please do not compare that pedophile with being gay, those are two different issues.

Homosexuality is not natural. The same people advocating for gays would start shaking if they notice turtles displaying these kind of relationships and list them under 'endangered species' whilst trying to find out what has gone wrong. Whilst I don't hate gays as I myself have done a whole lot of wrongs in my lifetime, we should not encourage what is obviously unnatural. Human beings may just be heading for the same 'endangered species' group unknowingly!

Under Nigerian Federal Law, sodomy is punishable by Jail. Did you guys know?

Now, many straight and gay couples practice sodomy in the privacy of their homes. Many guys here beg or force their girlfriends to sodomize them. Many of you know what I am talking about. Many of you girls and wives and even expecting mothers have complained about it to your friends don't you?

Now, does anyone here know of any straight couple or person that has been caught in the past few years and sent to jail for sodomy? Any at all?

No.

Many of you here have not seen electricity in your homes for weeks. Many of you here unemployed with absolutely no chance in the future of getting a decent job. Many, filthy poor and hungry. Agreed, each to his own belief and opinion, but yet, we are all here lauding a law that sends our fellow brother and sisters to jail for 14 years for what we too practice in the privacy of your homes.

Shame on all of us.

Geez, go start your own blog instead of bullying the poor lady for voicing her opinion. Wow... some folks are deranged on this gay issue. Nigerians are the most hypocritical nation I've ever seen. First to go to church and pray and in the smae tone, curse someone else out. They and babalawo houses are like white on rice. Kidnapping of people, there are there. Giving bribes, yes giving bribes is bad, just as bad as collecting it, but they go to church, what did your bible say about bribery? What about bavk biting and meddling in other people's affairs, being busy body, they're there, but quick to criticize. Please, guys Check the definition of HYPOCRISY and Nigeria will be a synonym. Stop throwing stones when you have a glass house. Leave gays alone, leave linda alone to voice her opinion. If you have something against gays, voice your opinion and move on. Stop coercing and bullying others. Good gawd!!!

I'm told prisons are same-sex institutions. Now, if you put a sexually active gay man in a place where he'll find no women for 14 years, you're actively promotong 'gayness.' Did nobody think of this? Are the President's adviser's daft? Besides, it a wicked, ignorant, discriminatory law. Gay rights are human rights.

Well said Bonario. The white man is clever. If you want to be gay and you think it's right, you don't need our validation. Be gay. But when you are in Nigeria, you will, you must respect our laws. When we go abroad, we dare not disobey, so when you come here, you must obey. Our policies and culture cannot be dictated by the white man,if not, it's colonialism all over again. Please America, stay out of our business.

Points well stated. Nigeria the land of hypocritical people. Nigeria is synonymous with Hypocrisy. Double tongue set of people. The home of the devil himself. Babalawo visitor, gbomogbomo visitors are even preaching about God, money rituals at highest rate in December but yet, they want to lynch someone because of their sexual preference. What about the dirt in your own home? What about that human head sitting in some secret room in your house? Or that virgin girl you used for money ritual. Lets bring it down, what about that guy you fucked yesterday that wasn't your husband or wife? What about that rich married woman that gives you money in return for sex or that senator you sent naughty pictures too in exchange for money? Nigeria with its high HIV/AIDS population and they have the nerve to applaud oppressive laws. I am not gay, but he without sin should cast the first stone. Dare I say, the majority of you commenters here have all practiced some sin that was strongly condemned by the bible/quoran you so purpotedly try to shove in our faces and down our throat. You are all hypocrites, sinful, homophobic, shameless, guilty, pathetic beings. You should keep your filthy mouth and hands out of other peoples business and care to your own deficiencies because they are many.

I am a nurse working in one of the private hospitals. I just wanted to share some realistic statistics with your blog. This year so far we have lost about 35 children under the Age of 5 to malaria. Of the 35 more than half were HIV positive. These children did not die from complications caused by their virus they died from the effects of Fake drugs. It really saddens me to see how these politicians waste time on irrelevant issues. And I have come to the realisation that a government is a reflection of the conscience of the people. Nigerians deserve these people as their leaders.

You guys are perverted you watch to much porn , get turned on by what you see , become scared and guilty of your same sex attraction then to compensate you come here talking rubbish about gay or no gay. Most of you up in here are closet gays . It is your genitals that are tinkling not your false moral highs. Please go and satisfy yourselves and stop talking crap and outing yourselves on this blog . There is NOTTING worst than a cowardly closet homo. If you are really heterosexual and a gay guy says his attracted to you u kick his ass. Not start imaging how they have sex. It's becos you really want it. Idiot.

Do you think Jesus would have supported us sending homosexuals to prison. My point is if we are looking at it from a christian perspective, it is wrong but i do not support imprisonment. I am not God.

I want the government to invest more on education. Criminalise house help slavery, children hawking goods instead of going to school. It's becos of the illiteracy rate that we have so much ignorance .

John said...

When I left Nigeria in 1999. The standard of education wasn't that bad. But now it's as if the country is over ran by idiotic zombies whose vast number and power over runs any lone logical view. The country has been taken over, hijacked by a generation of imbeciles. It's a fearful place to be.

SWS said...

Hmmmm..... I've read every single comment so far, some more than once. I AGREE with what is being said- there are more pressing issues the government and President should deal with, jailing homosexuals is amongst the least of Nigeria's plethora of problems. HYPOCRISCY does reign SUPREME in Nigeria!!!
HOWEVER, I love Bonario's statement, the Western world is VERY insidious, and I for one cannot understand homosexuality. But I agree with you Linda, I am afraid that any one suspected of being homosexual could now be at risk in a country that seems to love jungle justice, and more terrible atrocities like this could result and this would be a terrible,terrible thing to visit on ANYBODY! So in conclusion what I will say is that for a country that purports to love and fear Almighty God, we MUST leave it to HIM to judge us individually and NOT make judgment ourselves. LIVE and LET LIVE.

linda dont liken gay to aluu 4, the boys are innocent. the bill didnt say that police or people should kill someone that looks like a gay. but if you are caught in the act or you are found supporting them in any kind. i think this is the best thing jona has done since assuming office.

In my opinion, d whole world is in a state of disarray. D darkness will cont. to cover d world n GROSS darkness d ppl. This law is a futile attempt to stem d ugly tide of events in this world (a welcomed one notwithstanding), bcos Nija n Africa will eventually give in unless God intervenes. I knw there re lots of problems in Naija n Africa (many of which can be traced to d western world) but let's not add Homosexuality to it. However, our brothers n sisters dat re in d bondage of dis spirit (homosexuality) require help (medical and even spiritual) n not hate. Let's take back our loved ones from d hands of dis Evil by all means. Let's nt give place for senseless sentiments 'like freedom of expression' and condemn d human race to oblivion. And, seek d Lord when He may be found. A word is enough for d wise...

Bonario, i just fell in love with you. Thank you.

Linda how has our godliness in Nigeria improve our lives? Instead we are worst in corruption, ritual killing, embezzlement, kidnapping, the list goes on and on. If u ban same sex marriage I agree with that but pls let them do what dey like we their lives they will give account in the end. Why didn't God just killed Adam and Eve in the beginning? Who are you to condemn and play God?

Personally, this ant gay bill doesn't bother me. I am not gay. But even if i was it wont either. You know why? I have the right to express my self sexually behind close doors , and its no bodies business. The broblem gays are having is that they want to shove it in our faces. hell no oh, i no gree that one. I no accept.Dont come and do any gay right capaigns pls, dont come and corrupt the minds of our growing and up coming children. Stay behind close doors and knack who you want to knack pls , its your business and you wont be breaking any law.

I AM GOING TO SAY THIS BECAUSE OF THE FOOLS QUOTING THAT IDIOT ACHEBE AND THE FOOLS COMPARING BEING GAY TO ARMED ROBBERY OR MURDER.

IF YOU ARE NOT DUMB. HOW CAN YOU COMPARE THE ACTIONS OF TWO CONSENTING ADULTS TO ARMED ROBBERY OF MURDER.

WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS WITH WHAT TWO CONSENTING ADULTS DECIDE TO DO TO EACH OTHER.

WE HAVE MORE PRESSING ISSUES IN NIGERIA AND GOING BY THE COMMENT ON THIS BLOG, NIGERIANS ARE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITES AND BIGOTS ON EARTH. WE JUDGE OTHERS UDING OUR OWN STANDARD AND WE CRY WHEN THE SAME IS DONE TO US.

I AM A CHRISITIAN AND MY RELIGION FROWNS AT IT. HOWEVER, I WILL NOT SUPPORT SENDING SOMEONE TO JAIL BECAUSE HE/SHE IS GAY.

EVEN JESUS WILL BE ASHAMED OF NIGERIA CHRISTIANS. WE JUDGE OTHERS AND WE SHOW MORE HATE THAN LOVE.

WHERE DID YOU ALL SELL YOUR HEARTS AND CONSCIENCE. HOW IS IT YOUR BUSINESS WHAT TOO ADULTS DECIDE TO DO TO EACH OTHER BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

Anon@1228. Please go and have a HIV test. It's comments like yours that really expose the illiteracy level of Nigerians. Let me assault your brain with a basic fact do you know were Nigeria is in the legue table of HIV infection. Please use your data limit and check it. This is a country that hates gays. Why is HIV so rampant then.?

These ppl are crazy. The devil is using them to take over the world n all these our stupid celebs who wants worldwide fame is supporting it. Really sad that ppl are not so smart anymore. No one is born gay, if it is true then they should show us proof

It's not the dress sense, it's being caught in the act.

Unknown said...

This is so wrong in all angles. For God sakes while jail someone for his sexual preferences? Meanwhile child molesters are applauded. Why not tackle other issues killing this country. Am disappointed. I am a 100% against it. There is absolutely no crime in being gay.

I think the anti gay law is a very good idea the only tin the govt shuld do is to make sure only the police are incharge of punishing dis pple.bcuz GOd created man and woman. Y didn't he create men alone.it is nt accepted by God and I pray God would help our country to stop dis fin.Inshallah

I absolutely support and commend Mr. President and the Senate for taking a stand against homosexuality. We certainly don't need to add this "mess" to all the wahala we already have in Nigeria. Homosexuality is not God's plan for mankind and nature speaks clearly of this.
Also, Linda you need not worry about people being lynched for being homosexuals, the penalty is imprisonment and not the death sentence so hardly will we see or hear of incidence of people being lynched except maybe in those part of our country where Sharia law is being practiced. God help us.
