What is this one saying?

The fact that they dont allow gay rights does it make them any less successful than the west. The likes of South Africa that supports gay rights does it make them more successful than the rest.

Don't link success with approval of gay rights or corruption. Russia does not support gay rights does it make them any less successful.

Gay rights is Evil and the devil is trying to make it look like it is freedom which is linked to success.

Uhuru couldn't put it more better. "Let us develop and get to your level before we start thinking of Gay rights. Right now we have more pressing issues than gay rights".

An Idle hand is the devils workshop. African countries are too busy struggling with development than allow devil to take over. USA has developed to an extent where they are now Idle(no more development), the only thing is for them to be used as a devils workshop to spread evil all over the world.

Majority: greater number or part
Whole: all of something

common sense: a name that in itself contradicts its self meant to describe a view that be reasonably expected of nearly all people without any need for debate

for the first time I saw Obama stammer while making a speech

successinlife:
People say gay decision or conviction don't affect others, yet gays want to adopt children born by straights.Why can't gay have gay children?

Bollinger:


Common sense? Really? Ever asked yourself why decade after decade You all still manage to have the same leaders with practically the same attributes? If the majority of people in Nigeria where normal, at least by now you would picked someone amongst yourselves who would at least be above average. Ever think about that?

BuddhaPalm:



Kenyatta wasn't primarily praised for his command of English, but for his articulation, grace, tactfulness and defiance...in the face of a far more powerful ally (dare I say, superior).

IdiAmin1:
Why can't Kenyans be proud of this man. Is it Charisma, command in English, communication skills, intelligence, diplomacy and above all, he is even more polished than Obama sef.

BuddhaPalm:
I strongly doubt Buhari or GEJ would come close in their respective native languages.

Pan Africanism? Maybe you don't know what it means. Is the issue in question not Africans vs ('Western imposed') Gay Rights?

Wiki: "Pan-Africanism as an ethical system traces its origins from ancient times, and promotes values that are the product of the African civilization and the struggles against slavery, racism, colonialism, and neo-colonialism.[6]"

And finally, without mincing words, a president of NIGERIA - a country with English as its OFFICIAL language - who cannot speak English, excellently, is very deficient.
You are being disingenuous with your selective and distorted quotes on what "pan-Africanism" is.
Pan-Africanisms is essentially an ideology promoting African unity,solidarity and oneness. That has nothing to do with what I am advocating here which is that people stop trying to be European and take pride in who and what they are in DIFFERENT parts of Africa

Symphony007:
you can boliviate all you want but the fact remains if Africans channel all their hate for gays who have done them no harm to the wicked leaders who are responsible for their sufferings and death, their lives might improve.

The post still stands especially common sense point.
Seems you're in too much of a hurry to reply.
calm down it'll get to you.

Symphony007:
NO! God bless obama for being true to his conviction, he should have even gone further to ask Africans why the punishment for gays is stiffer than corruption and which has been more detrimental to africa.

You are entitled to your own opinion and not your own facts. Those are the facts, you don't believe it, counter with better.

Symphony007:
I applaud pres. Obama for standing by his conviction and bringing up this issue despite him knowing it is very toxic and divisive in Africa.

Kenyan's can keep basking in their hypocrisy!! We hate gays but we are among s the highest consumers of gay porn in the world.

Bollinger:


As expected? A true Nigerian would not see reality even if it rolled up in a rolls royce and parked in their living room.

refreshrate:


Let me help you see beyond your nose.

There's a difference between the two points which you tried to post as one.
Majority is and can never be the same as whole.

common sense means you my friend should apply wisdom when trying to make a point to certain people.
Majority & whole are not the same. Not sure what your countries language is, but in English albeit for those who have a clear understanding of & their meanings, you contradicted yourself.

Obj, Yar Adua, GEJ and now GMB...none of them can speak like this man with strong courage and charisma. This are the kind of leaders we need in Africa. To match the Western leaders in all aspect.

I wish we can get this kind of President in Nigeria. I wish GMB can take some positives from this speech but unfortunately, he can't because his accent and intonation is bad.

Looking forward to the day we will get some eloquent, intelligent person as president of Nigeria.

sanmibukunmi:

I don't think so.....there are lots and lots just dt there is no avenue for intelligent ppl to go into politics......even looking at some comments alone on Nairaland will make u see dt dere are lots of intelligent ppl...

Sorry to use foul language,i am doing this for comprehension purposes, why would a man like man or woman like woman?i have read that while trying to have sex the she husband will use his hand to penetrate the she virgina and the he gay will sex the anus of a he she,but what for? men and women solve the riddles of this,my conclusion on gay is SATANIC initiation and nothing more.Ordinary people says you put a round log in a round hole and not put hole into hole or log into a log abi na spiritual blindness?

ritux:


I agree with you on the punishment to corruption being nothing compared to gay. Those are part of the problems we have here in Africa and our dear Nigeria. We treat corruption with levity. That's why u see a thief of onion sentenced to 15yrs or more but the corrupt public holders sentenced to 6months imprisonment with the option of fine. I expect Obama to talk to us about issues like this and not asking us to support gay. Case study: while the Americans have punished those involved in the Halliburton scandal, Nigeria is yet to charge it's own citizens involved to court.

As per your facts, I don't know about it but I know for sure that Nigerians prefer to watch pornography that involves people of opposite sex than watching some crazy lesbians or gay.

Even you, I know u will prefer to watch a man and woman sex tape than watch a man&man or woman & woman sex tape.
