They said human right and not LGBTQ right.

muhammaduyusufu:

The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite. You are trying to play smart and speaking from both sides of your mouth.

mrvitalis:

Oga you have reading and comprehensive deficiencies

I said Africans since u guys in general claim you don't want gays or LGBT..... What ever in your country

Don't take loans from countries that do because their citizens put pressure on them to make sure who ever receives their money don't punish gay people

How you read the above as me being Anti gay is beyond reason

U na tinubu support sha so u guys are like this normally

Nyamiriflathed:

This guy and his warped arguments. You are an African now. LMAO.

immortalcrown:
Did I say otherwise? You use sentiment to read comments. That is why you quote people unnecessarily.

My point is that human rights is mentioned there and gay rights or LGBTQ rights can later become part of human rights.

Nyamiriflathed:
You are just coming out of your shell instead of playing smart. You also added more comment to your original post.

In regards to your now modified post, they would have specifically mentioned gay or lesbian or trans right. But they did not. Africans are not stupid even if you think we are.

Since the issue of the agreement began to trend, I have not commented on it. I don't take a stand on something I do not understand. I try my best to avoid saying what I cannot defend. Even with this very article, I am yet to understand the agreement.

This sounds vague. Who decides human rights? Can human rights vary according to countries? If LGBTQ is adopted into human rights, doesn't the signed agreement force the member countries to legalize LGBTQ?

Melagros:
COMRADES, tinubu has signed that agreement in order to please the west at the detriment of Nigerians

We shall teach him a lesson in 2027, let me tell you this fact, the way tinubu will lose 2027 will be unimaginable

Noblechykk:
Daily Trust is right after all. The whole Lgbt issue is hidden in number 5. Make una use una head

Abujaexpress:
So because of the LGBTQ, the country should exclude itself from the agreement and the other numerous benefits elude her?

They said human right and not LGBTQ right. There is a difference between both. African countries that signed the agreement are not stupid. Read more about LGBTQ right here:

Flamemignon1:

Human rights encompasses all rights so yes LGBTQ rights are human rights

Nyamiriflathed:

So all the African countries that signed are stupid and can't tell the difference between human right and LGBTQ rights. Even the punch editorial is stupid 🤷🏾‍♂️

Nyamiriflathed:

Lol. That would have been spelt out clearly.

79 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries that signed the agreement are not stupid, even though you believe that we Blacks and Asians are stupid since we can't read nor write.

Flamemignon1:

It's one of two things. Either you are in denial or you need to go back to school. Human rights encompasses women's rights, children's rights, indigenous People's rights, rights of people who are marginalized or have no place in society which the LGBTQ is part of, notice they never said children rights especially when kids are getting married to old men in the north rather they gave it under an umbrella

Noblechykk:

You already have your opinion formed, so need for us to argue. LGBTQ are humans and we are talking about human right. A lot of countries opposed the clause and they narrowed it down to human rights without specifics. Just be watchful, they will rear their heads through the backdoor in due time.

Czarugo007:
Now the big question is,does LGBTQ rights falls under human rights or not.do you need to thought that human rights is all encompassing?.right to practice LGBTQ,does it not fall under freedom of association/expression?.go back to united nation charter on human rights and you will know that as long as one puts pen on paper concerning human rights,you have signed LGBTQ.

Nyamiriflathed:

Guy your argument is moot.

These are questions, not claims. Answer the questions if you can. If you choose to treat the questions as claims, you are obviously delusional and sentimental.

CallmeTrinity:
The phrase "I have not commented on it" and "I don't take a stand" are repetitive.
The flow can be improved for better readability.
"Yet to understand" is slightly awkward and can be phrased better.

Corrected Version:
"Since the issue of the agreement began trending, I have refrained from commenting. I avoid taking a stand on matters I don't understand and try my best to avoid saying anything I cannot defend. Even with this article, I still do not fully understand the agreement."

MyExpression:
Oga, there's a paragraph in the agreement that talks about Providing/funding healthcare services and gender inclusion.
It is a blanket statement that welcomes cosmetic surgeries, gender transformation surgeries et al...and gender inclusion from the EU perspective also includes all the binaries of gender identity.

If you take their money, you must accept their terms.
They didn't come to you, you saw them and all their conditions, yet you went to them.

Except there's a proviso that spells out the limits of the terms in the agreement, it conflicts with our domestic laws.
