Paw-Paw: Oh mi gosh!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Gamine: Please how many Hausa guys have you met, known or interacted with, to jump to this kind of silly, generalised conclusion?? Are you aware that Hausa people can be found in several states in Northern Nigeria? Are you aware that a lot of them are also Christians (even though they are fewer than the Muslim population) . .and many of them have been persecuted for their faith in Christ?? Are you aware that being a Hausa Christian from an Islamic family, is the surest way to ostracism (and in some cases), is seen as an offence punishable by[i] death?[/i] Kindly do some research on Hausa men, before you lump them all into one category, in your haste to make snide comments about them. |

Unripe abi over-ripe pawpaw, Thanks for CONFIRMING YOU ARE INDEED AN IGNORAMUS. I normally do not consult dictionaries because I do not need to. But for the benefit of Olodos like this rotten pawpaw: The online Merrian-Webster dictionary defines pseudonym as a fictitious name; a false name http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=pseudonym Otherwise, Since Pawpaw is not your pseudonym, I am indeed sorry that Pawpaw is your real name. Forgive me for the commission of thinking that it is your pseudonym. On the other hand, Xris74 is a pseudonym. |

It is amazing how you get an insight to people's true natures when you discuss Race, Religion Tribalism or Bigotry anywhere in the world!!!! There are some people I thought were really cool here. But on second thoughts---naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! They turned out to be shallow and outright bums!!! Some people think they are mini gods and goddesses to judge others and spread hate filled sentiments in the name of what they worship or being "the chosen privileged ones by God". ARE YOU GOD ![]() ![]() ![]() Paw-Paw:[/b] Thank you for using correct English grammar and diction for once in your Nairaland life!!!! ![]() |

@BABEELOVE homosexuality is not natural, just like suicide it is very very abnormal that is why we can't just leave them alone. Abi suicidal people, no be themselves dem wan kill? Why you think say people suppose stop them? Because that is not what they were created to do. Homosexuality is immoral, it is evil, it is demonic and now it is spreading among underage children because of the favourable stance taken by the satellite media on homosexuality. It must be curbed now. God hates it, man hates it, animals hate it, hell, even machines hate it. What is wrong with you people? How man go put prick inside man nyash?! These are the kinds of things that make me believe that God is powerless if at all he exists. How can he possibly sit and watch all this happen? It's disgusting jare. Next thing some people will start advocating for the right to practice bestiality. Yes. How much different is it from homosexuality? Man wey fit plug man, e go fit plug dog! |

@denex Let me say one thing first! I am not a homosexual but I work with a lot of them and I respect them a lot. They have opened my eyes to tolerance and respect for individuals regardless of what they are. You may hate the act, but is it the only thing you see in these people that makes you bend at the waist ![]() Most of them are professionals and live normal lives. So why should you care about their sexual orientation ![]() ![]() God is not powerless! He loves all people!!! If God did destroy Sodom and Gommorah-- why do you think we still have Homosexuality now in the world ![]() ![]() |

@BABEELOVE God gives us the right choose, even if he does not agree with the choice we make. If God were to strike people down for every choice they made he did not agree with everyone would be dead. He let Eve and Adam eat the apple |

@BABEELOVE Somebody is homosexual and you're telling me that he leads a normal life. Homosexual and Normal are mutually exclusive. I am not going to zip it when men go around sodomizing other men's anuses. Do you think they are keeping to themselves? Watch some cartoons and children's movies and you will notice homosexual undertones and cross-dressing themes. They are not just sitting there in their own corner ANALysing themselves, they are coming for our kids! I could tolerate them when I thought they just wanted to be with each other and do their thing. But no. They're not satisfied with that. They are in our sons' churches, their school gyms and coach their sports teams. And they're just waiting for the opportunity to shove it up. No! I will not sit away why a muscular gym teacher is scheming on how to lascerate my son's arse with his wayward phallus. |
Re: Why Are There So Many Homosexuals In The North? by BABEELOVE(f): 9:23pm On Aug 11, 2007 |
@denex I am not talking about being normal or not. If is just not our place to tell people how to live their lives. Just worry about yours and let Olisa do his job!!! Then do not have kids! They are here to stay and have their own government and economic clout!!! It is out of your hands. Ranting and raving here will not do you any good!!! Heterosexuals engage in child porn and other aggressive acts towards kids too!!! It is a dangerous world we live in. So what is the noise for ![]() |
Re: Why Are There So Many Homosexuals In The North? by doyin13(m): 9:25pm On Aug 11, 2007 |
@denex LOL You talk about these issues with such relish. I will admit I was as homophobic as they come when I first settled in the UK, but have since mellowed. They are as harmless as the heterosexual guy next door. For instance we get more instances of heterosexual paedophillia than homosexual ones in my reckoning. I am just as repulsed by one as the other. |

@BABEELOVE it is not our place to tell people how to live their lives EXCEPT when they start committing crimes. It seems you are missing a very important point here. Homosexuality is not an awkward way of life in Nigeria, IT IS A CRIME!!! That said, I call no further witnesses. |

denex: @denex, you failed to answer my previous question. Bonobos are the closest to humans among the primates and they are naturally bi-sexual. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/07/0722_040722_gayanimal.html Homosexual Activity Among Animals Stirs Debate Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it. So go the lyrics penned by US. songwriter Cole Porter. Porter, who first hit it big in the 1920s, wouldn't risk parading his homosexuality in public. In his day "the birds and the bees" generally meant only one thing—sex between a male and female. But, actually, some same-sex birds do do it. So do beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphins, and orangutans. Zoologists are discovering that homosexual and bisexual activity is not unknown within the animal kingdom. Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo have been inseparable for six years now. They display classic pair-bonding behavior—entwining of necks, mutual preening, flipper flapping, and the rest. They also have sex, while ignoring potential female mates. Wild birds exhibit similar behavior. There are male ostriches that only court their own gender, and pairs of male flamingos that mate, build nests, and even raise foster chicks. Filmmakers recently went in search of homosexual wild animals as part of a National Geographic Ultimate Explorer documentary about the female's role in the mating game. (The film, Girl Power, will be screened in the US this Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, 5 p.m PT on MSNBC TV.) The team caught female Japanese macaques engaged in intimate acts which, if observed in humans, would be in the X-rated category. "The homosexual behavior that goes on is completely baffling and intriguing," says National Geographic Ultimate Explorer correspondent, Mireya Mayor. "You would have thought females that want to be mated, especially over their fertile period, would be seeking out males." Well, perhaps, in a roundabout way, they are seeking males, suggests primatologist Amy Parish. She argues that female macaques may enhance their social position through homosexual intimacy which in turn influences breeding success. Parish says, "Taking something that's nonreproductive, like mounting another female—if it leads to control of a resource or acquisition of a resource or a good alliance partner, that could directly impact your reproductive success." Sexual Gratification On the other hand, they could just be enjoying themselves, suggests Paul Vasey, animal behavior professor at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. "They're engaging in the behavior because it's gratifying sexually or it's sexually pleasurable," he says. "They just like it. It doesn't have any sort of adaptive payoff." Matthew Grober, biology professor at Georgia State University, agrees, saying, "If [sex] wasn't fun, we wouldn't have any kids around. So I think that maybe Japanese macaques have taken the fun aspect of sex and really run with it." The bonobo, an African ape closely related to humans, has an even bigger sexual appetite. Studies suggest 75 percent of bonobo sex is nonreproductive and that nearly all bonobos are bisexual. Frans de Waal, author of Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape, calls the species a "make love, not war" primate. He believes bonobos use sex to resolve conflicts between individuals. Other animals appear to go through a homosexual phase before they become fully mature. For instance, male dolphin calves often form temporary sexual partnerships, which scientists believe help to establish lifelong bonds. Such sexual behavior has been documented only relatively recently. Zoologists have been accused of skirting round the subject for fear of stepping into a political minefield. "There was a lot of hiding of what was going on, I think, because people were maybe afraid that they would get into trouble by talking about it," notes de Waal. Whether it's a good idea or not, it's hard not make comparisons between humans and other animals, especially primates. The fact that homosexuality does, after all, exist in the natural world is bound to be used against people who insist such behavior is unnatural. In the US., in particular, the moral debate over this issue rages on. Many on the religious right regard homosexuality as a sin. And only this month, President Bush vowed to continue his bid to ban gay marriages after the Senate blocked the proposal. Already, cases of animal homosexuality have been cited in successful court cases brought against states like Texas, where gay sex was, until recently, illegal. Yet scientists say we should be wary of referring to animals when considering what's acceptable in human society. For instance, infanticide, as practiced by lions and many other animals, isn't something people, gay or straight, generally approve of in humans. Human Homosexuality So how far can we go in using animals to help us understand human homosexuality? Robin Dunbar is a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Liverpool, England. "The bottom line is that anything that happens in other primates, and particularly other apes, is likely to have strong evolutionary continuity with what happens in humans," he said. Dunbar says the bonobo's use of homosexual activity for social bonding is a possible example, adding, "One of the main arguments for human homosexual behavior is that it helps bond male groups together, particularly where a group of individuals are dependent on each other, as they might be in hunting or warfare." For instance, the Spartans, in ancient Greece, encouraged homosexuality among their elite troops. "They had the not unreasonable belief that individuals would stick by and make all efforts to rescue other individuals if they had a lover relationship," Dunbar added. Another suggestion is that homosexuality is a developmental phase people go through. He said, "This is similar to the argument of play in young animals to get their brain and muscles to work effectively and together. Off the back of this, there's the possibility you can get individuals locked into this phase for the rest of their lives as a result of the social environment they grow up in." But he adds that homosexuality doesn't necessarily have to have a function. It could be a spin-off or by-product of something else and in itself carries no evolutionary weight." He cites sexual gratification, which encourages procreation, as an example. "An organism is designed to maximize its motivational systems," he adds. In other words, if the urge to have sex is strong enough it may spill over into nonreproductive sex, as suggested by the actions of the bonobos and macaques. However, as Dunbar admits, there's a long way to go before the causes of homosexuality in humans are fully understood. He said, "Nobody's really investigated this issue thoroughly, because it's so politically sensitive. It's fair to say all possibilities are still open."

Homosexuality is adopted behaviour it is abnormal inclination resulting in deviant behaviour. Have no doubt God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. It is disfunctionalism to substitute created function for something else there is always a price to pay. Let’s keep things simple it is wrong although it may be their choice. The character of a person good or bad does not justify their actions good or bad but the actions impact on the character to create it. You may be contributing to whatever society you belong to positively does not give credibility to all your actions as being right. Serial killers, child molesters, Cannibals, often have quite pleasant dispositions. Finally homosexuals are not looking for tolerance they are looking for acceptance. The acceptance they seek is agreement to their chosen adopted lifestyle. To agree is to believe it to be right. Now they call it sexual discrimination for you to propagate the virtues of marriage in schools to the detriment of the gay lifestyle. You could face litigation imagine huh! This is the general standard across Europe. In Europe the homosexual lobby has made it illegal almost for you to express a negative opinion of there lifestyle. I freely say as Niaja remains free, this is abomination of abomination an insult to God and mankind. If not for the love of God, I would sing Buju- Bantons “BOOM BOOM BYE” With glee in the face of the batty man & lesbians. |
