The Human Right Writers Association of
Nigeria (HURIWA)has raised alarm over what
it called the infiltration of Nigerian Civil
Society by some American group to mount a
concerted campaign against government to
repeal the anti gay law in the country.
Speaking to our reporter at the weekend, its
National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel
Onwubiko, said HURIWA has been
approached severally to accept a monetary
offer to join the pro gay campaign targeted
at Nigeria. “In recent time, within this week,
they made contacts with us. They gave us
the assurance that there is a funding package
if we agree to sign on to a well coordinated
campaign for the Nigerian government to
repeal the extant anti same sex marriage Act
passed and signed into law by the immediate
past administration of former president
Goodluck Jonathan,” Onwubiko said.
He continued that there was a global
campaign that specifically targeted Nigeria.
He said “The plot is beginning to manifest .
The methodology employed by the
campaigners for what they called the LGBT
right for Lesbians, Bisexuals and
Homosexuals came like the western
missionaries. But unfortunately many
Nigerians are not aware of this.”
Onwubiko, who is a former Federal
Commissioner of the Nigerian National
Human Rights Commission (NHRC), added
that a meeting was called where they made
monetary proposal to HURIWA. He stated
that “Their approach took us by surprise. I
was there when some proposals involving a
huge sum of money were made. They are
willing to wave off some conditions for
accessing the funds for us to join the
campaign to undermine Nigerian
understanding of gay marriage as a new
western culture that we must accept. They
are willing to give us as much as 15,000
dollars to embark on a campaign to pressure
Nigerian government to repeal the law that
prohibits same sex relationship”
He said HURIWA was raising the alarm so
that Nigerians should be aware of the well
structured campaign on ground by the pro
gay campaigners. “Our President will be
meeting with the US president soon, it is
possible that Obama will ask him to abrogate
the law against gay marriage in Nigeria, ” he
said.
The National Coordinator of HURIWA said he
had approached some respected church
leaders in the country but it appears this
was not a major problem for them. “What
we are doing should have come from the
religious leaders and traditional institutions
because the attack is fundamentally targeted
at weakening our traditional understanding of
marriage and to make Nigeria become
excessively lose and reckless in terms of
sexuality and other things that has to do with
man and woman relationship. This is a very
serious moral question which we must
tackle,” he said.

Pro gay activitists are worst than terrorists and should be treated as such.

Abeg front page. I'm sure Nigerians have noticed the recent swing in cross dressing men trending on nairaland. May God help us.
