shymexx: Nigeria better get a nice lobby group, before the empire descends on it.

Phaggots, femi-nazis, PETA, and Jews run America. Go against them, and you're fvcked.

After watching the ever arrogant, self-proclaimed "Mr. Articulate" and Mr. if-you-don't-like-what-I'm-saying-kick-rocks, Stephen A. Smith, apologise like a biatch with no balls on ESPN yesterday for saying, "I don't condone domestic violence but women shouldn't provoke men." It became clear that if yank Gay, women, animal rights, and Jewish groups in America don't agree with you - you're fvcked.

Just get a lobby group to talk to these folks...sanctions on a country like Nigeria will cause hyper-inflation.

america can fück off.....
we will sell our crude oil elsewhere. who the fück are the yanks to determine how people choose to live their lives. there's massive poverty & disease outbreak, they aren't urging obama to pump food & health facilities to nigeria.

chibok girls have been missing for 100+ days, they didn't urge obama to send his delta force teams and rescue them but they want to turn mother nigeria into a faggöt country? obama & his fellow citizens must be high on pübic hair. this is exactly the reason boko haram have sympathisers.

stanuplane: TEN US senators have written a letter to President
Barack Obama asking him to impose economic
sanctions against Nigeria in response to the
government's hostile stance towards lesbians and
gays.
On January 7 this year, President Goodluck Jonathan
signed Nigeria's Draconian bill Same Sex Marriage
Prohibition Act into law, making anyone convicted of
being homosexual liable to 14 years in prison. Since
the law came into effect, the police have swung into
action arresting lesbians and gays across Nigeria,
while homophobic vigilante groups have also
stepped up attacks on suspected victims.
Coming at a time when several other African nations
are also clamping down severely on homosexuals,
the US senators have asked President Obama to step
in and halt the witch hunt. Those who signed the
letter include Christopher Murphy, Tammy Baldwin,
Martin Heinrich, Richard Blumenthal, Barbara
Boxer, Al Franken, Kirsten Gillibrand, Edward
Markey, Sherrod Brown and Mark Udall.
They are seeking sanctions against Nigeria, over
what they described as a growing trend of laws and
proposed legislation targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender (LGBT) individuals in Africa. In their
letter, the senators are seeking a review of the
African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa), which
allows for duty-free treatment of certain imports from
Nigeria and other sub-Saharan African countries
since 2000.
In their letter, they stated: “We, therefore, ask that
your administration review Nigeria and Uganda’s
eligibility for Agoa’s trade preference and if it is
determined that those countries are not making
continual progress in meeting the statute’s
requirements, that you take steps to revoke Agoa's
eligibility to Nigeria and Uganda, in accordance with
19 USC 2466a(a)(3),” the senators stated.
According to the senators, the enacted Same-Sex
Marriage Prohibition Act by Nigeria in January and
the enforcement of these laws would be a human
rights abuse, in violation of the standards set forth in
the Agoa. In Uganda, President Yoweri Museveni
signed a law into effect on February 24 under which
accused persons can be sent to prison for life for
aggravated homosexuality.
“These laws, combined with the growing public vitriol
by government officials and the media, threaten to
usher in an era of widespread oppression of the LGBT
community in many African countries. We believe
that the discriminatory anti-LGBT laws in those
countries represent a clear violation of human rights
and hope that the interagency process charged with
Agoa’s annual review will make this
recommendation.
"We further ask that you not restore eligibility until
these beneficiary countries have taken steps to
eliminate harsh penalties for LGBT persons,” the
senators added.

I'm not in favor of the proposed sanctions because it could cause massive loss of revenue to Nigerian businesses, whom are beneficiaries of the AGOA.

However, the anti-gay law enacted in Nigeria is way too harsh. Sending people to jail for 14 years just because they are in a same-sex relationship is utterly draconian! A part of the law prohibits the free association of homosexuals to form pressure groups or clubs.

If the govt is so against gay marriage, it could have limited the law to banning Nigerian courts from conducting same-sex marriages.

Bwahahaha

I was just alluding to how phaggots are powerful in that country. They run the show there.

However, I don't think Nigeria can survive America's economic sanctions. So if this threat is actually serious, Nigeria needs a good lobby group to neutralise those working for the LGBT groups.

This shouldn't be about competition for the country with the most inconsequential GDP that hasn't reflected on the lives of the people. It's about African countries standing, and speaking with one voice against the cultural imposition of a lifestyle with problems that African countries can't defend against, at the moment.


Well, we do not see it as imposition by the west rather than protection of human rights in countries that seems to impose on peopl's choice of lifestyle. There's nothing that needs African countries unity on that. The most important stances like the attack on Gaddaffi were subbotaged by the same countries like Nigeria, which gave rights to likes of the US, to come in and attack African countries at will.
Nigeria cannot turn around and call for unity when the US is now shining their light on them.

They won't dare place sanctions on us or they would lose the biggest black nation as an ally. The rest of the Africa countries would definitely follow our steps.

Interestingly, this is an issue that unites both the PDP and APC e-rats plus majority of Nigerians. Until the United States legalize polygamy in all states they should keep quiet and leave us alone to decide what laws we want to govern our social lives. Who told them all Americans are happy with the laws they have? They should concern themselves with that North Korean military terrorist that is currently threatening their White House and Pentagon with nuclear warheads.

What human rights are they protecting, when that's the only country that's above all international laws and treaties? Muthaphu.ck them!

Nigeria flopped with Gaddafi, but this one is different. It seems almost all African countries are against homoeroticism - so the cause should unite everyone to speak with one voice. Say NO to cultural imposition!

If phaggots want to live on the African continent, they can create a separate country for all of them in the Sahara. Let them enjoy their HIV/AIDS, and Ebola, the new kid on the block there.
