There is currently an uproar on Nigerian social media after an old video of the vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, saying that gay people should be killed resurfaced on Friday night.

Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed was speaking during a debate in the Senate over the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill in 2011. He said:

Actually, such elements in society should be killed.

Here is the video (start from the 2:07 minute mark).

Channels TV has blocked the video from showing on Nairaland, but click "Watch on YouTube" and you can watch the video there.

The video has led to the following reactions.


1) Ose Anenih is a member of the PDP and son of former minister, Anthony Anenih

2 & 3) Ikhide Ikheloa is a famous author

More reactions.

More reactions.

End.

The Muslim problems

Ahaa. Was looking for this video.

International support for presidential candidates in our elections is always critical- with no prejudice to local support. That said, with this evidence, how would the duo of Pandora and Datti appeal to the West, especially US and EU/UK, with all their "human rights" and LGBTQ craze?

These guys goofed big time!

yep!

not just killed.

they should be killed and burnt to ashes.

yep i said it and i fully stand by it.

Any nation that supports gays, trans, gendar-x, is bound to die!

see how they turned a once great nation called america to a butt of the earth.

from pride of nations to a joke of nations! a laughing stock among nations!

Nigeria proscribing gay-ism is one the best thing to ever come out of this nation - thou the law should av taken it further by making it a crime punishable by death thru hanging.

i know we will get there one day.

Una don start again??

The said statement has been long and is not taking effect in today's atmosphere which render it absolutely useless.

Let me tell you PDP/APC lovers of Gerontocracy.

No amount of propaganda will shift Obi to at least 0.2meters from his position

Tinubu is fielding Muslim/muslim ticket which will eventually make Obi cruise to victory.

Better buy Obi's Office portrait to be hanged before it skyrocket by 2023.

My regards to Reno the mischief maker

So withen 24hrs Nigerians don go dig this one comot... Na wa o


Me nothing concern me....na Obi I dey vote for

Such comments are extreme even within societies that frown upon such practices. He should really clear the air on this so we can move on. I.m.o it's no different from folks that glorified Deborah's murder.

Still #Obedient.
gay no be life na but wetin concern me pass money !!!..

Definitely, they should be killed, any lie in that?

Immediately OBI named Datti Baba-Ahmed as his running mate, the Tinubu and APC propaganda machine swung into action of blackmailing……

Same tool they used against GEJ in 2015. Well, I have this for you guys

Even if you dig up a video of Datti Baba-Ahmed saying that all lesbians and gays should be killed, we are still going to vote for LP,

After all lesbianism and Gay are not part of the Nigerian culture….

Propaganda bots �

Gay isn't part of our culture

They actually deserve to be offed

I don't even know what to say again One problem after another. So is there any candidate advocating for LGBTQ rights? Omo. I don't think this is our problem right now. Let's even have light to see road then we can argue all these properly.

Calling for any group to be killed is extreme though Calls for some concern.

Lolsss,,,

Tinubu and Atiku supporters grappling on straws ...

Are Bats and Ati-kus gays? ...

Hello gay, be OBIdient

Is this the problem of Nigeria? All those people against the goodness of Nigeria shall fail!

No amount of intimidation, slandering, witch-hunting shall discourage the votes for better Nigeria..

Open sense, vote wise and vote right!

he's right you know. Even the Holy Bible sanctions it

blaquebelle:

The holy bible didn't instruct people to kill gay people

SU50:


Where in the Bible? Old or new testament?

Sleekfingers:
How many of the useless quran and bible laws una dey follow?
Hypocrites everywhere........

not everyone is a loser like you bro. Stop the gay life. Pampers don cost o.

Sleekfingers:



I ain't gay. And I have absolutely nothing against them....I don't give a shit about anybody's sexuality and sexual orientations.....how is anybody's sexuality your business? Ignorant fool

Na your father be loser. Omo iran kiran jatijati....

your father must've been a career lowlife loser. He really passed on the gene to you. I'm talking about your lowlife daddy for emphasis,so you know. Tinubu supporter

luluman:
Quote the bible passage

"


(Leviticus 18:22) and "If a man lies with a man as one lies with woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads" (Leviticus 20:13).


"Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable" (Leviticus 18:22) and "If a man lies with a man as one lies with woman, both of them have done what is detestable."


The ignorant people that quoted me asking where in the bible I got my facts from,well there you go.
When be say na phone and babes una go dey check out for church during sermons. Read your bible,fagg.ots.

Una no dey tire? So na gay level una dey use now, soon we go hear say "Peter Obi prays against satan in his church" why should he be praying against the devil inside a church, he is a divider and not a unifier


This just shows that they have no other card to play against Peter Obi

Lol. This people nede tire?... Don't worry, tomorrow they will say he married a 14 yr old girl...

His opinion

Lol, when people don't have any reasonable facts to market their preffered candidate, they resort to cheap blackmails on others.

Funny enough, the acclaimed "unknown" Peter Obi is the most talked about politician at the moment. Negative or Positive, we love una free publicity

#OBIdientAhmed

Like those who support a candidate and don’t want him to be criticized


They should all be killed.

Seconded

And so, they are dogs, with the number of girls everywhere na fellow man ass una want

Gays shouldn't just be killed, their dead bodies should be thrown into the lagoon
