Yes with time comes change, but that change can be accepted or rejected.

Freedom of association to me also translate to having the right to associate with minors, even abusing a minor, after all, that's what the context of 'freedom' really mean. The right to do whatever you want. That's why we have punitive measures to prevent the over use of ones right.

Well that's for her to know, since I can't read minds, but however, her decision, is her decision, and who says because a woman is feminist, doesn't mean she want more than one husband, its her choice, its her right to choose whether to marry more than two men, but what's stopping her? The law.

You tell me, I believe you watched the videos and saw the news...

What are you harping about? Social contract applies in bigamy and doesn't apply to homosexuality? How skewed does that sound? What makes it okay for a man to marry a man, and what makes it not okay for a man to marry more than one woman?

Its also a person's right to associate with more than two women, just like its a man's right to associate
with another man. You're sounding very very bias I must tell you!.

JAye! Just like people can be born polygamist or choose to be polygamist, the fact that you may not understand or have have not understood it, doesn't/shoudn't make it criminal.

Go abuse a minor and tell the courts, freedom of association means 'doing whatever you like'. How does this even make sense to you?

And I already explained to you, why you can't marry more than one partner, such marriages can prove difficult for the law to handle, should the need arise, therefore it is safer for everyone to meet at a common ground, which is considered fair.

I don't know what videos you are referring to, but I do know that it is a crime to beat people up.

While it it her decision to want to marry one or more men, she cannot, because such decisions can't be proven not to stem from religion/morality and I have told you that, some policies go beyond simple moral reasons.


It is not in the least bit skewed because the law on bigamy doesn't discriminate against anyone, gay people can also commit bigamy and the face the law if they do.

What makes it okay for a man to marry a man, is that two people are involved in the marriage, the law recognises a marriage between two people and in bigamy, more than two people are involved, this can pose as a problem to the law, hence it is criminalised.

You are the bias one for not recognising that, that two is different from three or more.

Of course anybody can be polygamous but because it is safer to be monogamous, social contrast is applied. Pray tell, what harm does hömosexuality cause to a society?

Haven't you seen pictures of new babies in the toilet, gutter, trash etc here on NL?
Wouldn't it be nice for a gay to adopt them?

It is better for even an animal, like a chimp to save a dying Infant who has been abandoned than allow it to die. But it will never make it right for gays to bring up children. Raising them up with the belief that it is all right to violate and erupt their poo passage that plays host to a thousand infectious bacteria. This is madness and perversion alert!

armyofone:

You know, there are worst things going on in our society that we should be worried about than the personal lives of two consenting adults.
I miss her post too. I'm sure she is fine but busy.

That's what they've succeeded in having you believe that homosexuality is personal.This is false. Homosexuality is a societal ill.

So we should turn a blind eye on the evil called homosexuality because it happens that it doesn't top the list of the world deadliest malignancy? Are you suggesting we abandon kidnapping because it's not outright cold blooded murder?

You can spring up just about any lazy excuse to endorse homosexuality, but medical statistics is against you. Nature is against you, and the very courtship antecedents of homosexuals is against you. There is no sound footing for the endorsement of homosexuality other than the same evil sermon Satan has always used to enslave man - FREEDOM!

I just find some people's inferiority complex extreme. They take every damn thing the white man says as being right since they too dumb to have ideas of their own....Now it is LGBT...Being gay or transgender is cool cos its the white man's idea.

Homosexuality is evil. It is anti-procreation. It is unhealthy. Statistics show homosexuals are more prone to domestic violence and child abuse (do your own research). Homosexuals
have lesser life-span than the average straight person.

My goodness,do you really have to lie this much.Please post evidence of the above here.

The simple thought that a same sex man may find me sexually attractive and might want to get down with me any chance he gets, or that I might be in a flight having such a fellow as my seat mate for hours is sheer horror.

The simple thought that an ugly supposedly heterosexual man like you finds a very beautiful lady attractive and might want to get down with her any chance you get is sheer horror.

What happens in the military when soldiers see themselves as John and Jane even in the heat of battle? What happens when you share a ship cabin with a Demented homo in the middle of the ocean or in a jail cell? Everyday male thing like stripping to boxers or sharing the public shower becomes a risk. The anus was never created for constant sexual pummelling. And that's why they'll always need artificial lubricant and still have an erupted rectum. Imagine men walking about with loosed anus and rectum. Or hitting the shit passage whenever they're having sex. It's sickening !

From your logic,gay men are predators out for every available penis they see.Last I checked Heterosexual men will continue to have the highest records of sexually harassing and molesting the opposite sex.

Also by your demented logic,anal sex is exclusive to homosexuals only.Last I checked,every single sexual act performed by homosexuals are widely practiced by their heterosexual counterparts.The fact that heterosexuals will always outnumber homosexuals by a 90 to 10 ratio further shows anal sex definitely has more practitioners in the heterosexual world.

Now, there's a difference making love with the knowledge that it'll lead to childbirth than going to "buy" one. A child raise by both men or both women will grow up with serious mental and emotional imbalances (do your research).

At times I wonder what brain some africans(Nigerians) have.If every heterosexual who have sex make love with the knowledge of childbirth don't you think they'd be responsible to plan for the future of that child,why then does the world have hundreds of millions of homeless kids.The world was not created to be perfect,if it was,we wouldn't need other people to adopt the supposed property of some heterosexuals who should give the child a supposedly serious and mental emotional balance.

The emboldened usually give way to abuse. Your right to love an individual might involve loving a child.

Same way there is absolutely no justifiable reason to criminalize polygamy in the West.



Apples and oranges are fruits aren't they?

That's why there is the law, which enforces fundamental human rights. I'm sure you know churches are being closed same as mosques. Have you heard about the bill El-Rufai plan on implementing? Ostracizing public preaching and noise making.

My dear, what is obtainable in U.S.A is not obtainable in Nigeria. The West have their ways of doing things, we have ours. Its that simple. If homosexuals here don't like it, they can move abroad. Simple.

You guys like to manipulate the truth?First I would ask you this,what does your Marital Law in Nigeria say?Am not talking about your Religious islamic marital system,the legally recognized marriage by the Nigerian State,the court system type of marriage.

Yep, its the same thing I'm talking about, when you abuse a minor, you have the court to answer to, when you have sexual relations with your fellow man or woman, you'll still answer to the courts.

Freedom of association as meant by me, means freedom to associate with who, or whatever you like, you can choose to associate sexually with whoever you like. But when you associate with whom the courts tell you not to, you'll have to answer to the court.

And I already explained to you, why you can't marry more than one partner, such marriages can prove difficult for the law to handle, should the need arise, therefore it is safer for everyone to meet at a common ground, which is considered fair.

Its the same reason here, marrying your fellow man will prove difficult to handle as people can't assimilate why and how on earth a man will choose to marry his fellow man. So, should the need arise where a man can marry his fellow man over here, I'm sure everybody involves will meet at a common ground, which might be considered 'fair'.

I don't know what videos you are referring to, but I do know that it is a crime to beat people up.

Yes it is a crime to beat people up, that doesn't stop people being beat up does it?

I believe you've heard of polyandry
? There are some cultures which promote and encourage polyandry, now of what business is it of yours to come and tell them that their culture which have existed for years, is flawed, without giving then viable scientific reason to back up your claim.

It is not in the least bit skewed because the law on bigamy doesn't discriminate against anyone, gay people can also commit bigamy and the face the law if they do.

The law of bigamy discriminates against a man who wants to marry more than one wife, same way it discriminates against a woman who wants to marry more than one man.

What makes it okay for a man to marry more than one woman is that three or more people are involved, with consent. The law here recognizes a marriage between a man and more than one woman, this doesn't pose any problem for the law here, hence it is not criminalized.

Your ways are your ways like I said, what gives you the right to point fingers at another man's way and say it is flawed?

Whatever happened to your right as a human to choose whom to love?

Whatever happened to my right as a human to choose how many women I want to marry?

There is every reason to criminalise polygamy because such marriages occur mostly when the woman is young and it might be reasonably determined that exploitation and coercion are involved in polygamy, more often than free choice [s](btw, it is mostly men who marry more than one partner, so the system isn't balanced).[/s]

Most polygamous marriages occur when the woman is young? Really?
What has a woman being young got to do with it?

And then you go on to claim that exploitation and coercion is involved...so I ask you Freecocoa, who is being coerced or exploited?

Before answering that, take into account the question in my quote above, don't I have the right to marry as many women as I want?
And to do you one question better, a woman who doesn't want her husband to marry a second wife has the right to walk away or accept it, does she not?

As per the striked out bit - nobody is stopping women from marrying more than one man.

When your laws trample on people's rights, then it should be complained about.

This is absolutely true.

I guess you would then agree that the law against polygamy tramples on the rights of a man to marry more than one woman...and if a woman doesn't want her husband to marry another, she also has the right to divorce him and walk way.

Everybody wins and no one is trampling on anyone's rights, do you agree?

Na wa o, I'm supposed to compare using of drugs to hömosexuality now? Wow! Just wow!

No need to be wowed, it's actually a logical comparison.

A homosexual has a right to love and marry anyone as long as he/she isn't hurting anyone else.
By comparison, a cocaine addict also must have a right to use cocaine as long as he/she isn't harming anyone... Don't you agree?

It's not the same thing and quite frankly, I'm tired of going in circles trying to explain simple logic to you. How does abusing a minor and two consenting adults having sex compare? I know both are a crimes in Nigeria, I am only telling you that one shouldn't be.

Having freedom of association doesn't mean abusing a child, abusing a child, qualifies as a crime, because there is a "child" involved, a child cannot make decisions for himself, that is a sensible and just reason to criminalise child abuse. Or you going to ask me why a child shouldn't have the right to make decisions for himself too?


What is people's business with what two adults decide to do with their lives? If everybody over here will agree on the law being fair, why are we having this argument? Why are so many Nigerians gay?

People beat people up, of course, but it is nonetheless a crime , yet can be excused depending on circumstances.

Ain't no government going to India to tell them to quit polyandry anyways, neither do I see the US coming here to tell you not to marry more than one woman, and yes, they gave you good reason why you should let people be gay, you just don't want to see reason because you are blinded by so called religion/culture.

The law of bigamy discriminates against more than two people being in a marriage.

Oh! But that's the problem, there is no way it can be proven beyond every reasonable doubt, that consent wasn't influenced by religion/morality and I can't believe I have to reiterate this, some policies are beyond simple morality, this is one of such policies. The only way to be safe, is make a union between two people, so it is fair.

Hömosexuality is not about people's ways of lives or culture, if is about our humanity as a race.

There is a good reason, why it's not best for three people to be in a marriage.

Over time, it has been proven that monogamy is better and yes, polygamy has done a whole lot of damage, it will just be a waste of time, we arguing about it.

No need to be wowed, it's actually a logical comparison.

A homosexual has a right to love and marry anyone as long as he/she isn't hurting anyone else.
By comparison, a cocaine addict also must have a right to use cocaine as long as he/she isn't harming anyone... Don't you agree?



Pray tell, what harm does polygamy cause to a society?

In polygamy, there is cheating and cheating anyone should be a criminal offence.

Whatever makes you think it is your right to choose how many women to marry? Duh!


Being young can influence a person's decision on the grounds of naivety. The man can coerce the woman, her society/culture etc.

Of course she has the right to walk away, this is why measures should be put to ensure that everyone is treated fairly, however it goes down.

Maybe if men hadn't wanted the society be so cruel to women, it wouldn't be such a big deal to have more than one husband, then again, when you love someone, you wouldn't want to share.

You don't have the right to keep two women at once, you can divorce one and move on with the other, it is just left for the woman you leave, to understand she's better off without you, if you think you need another woman.

Cocaine is a harmful substance, an addict shouldn't be allowed to endanger his life and that of others.


Polygamy has caused a lot of bitterness for lots of people, children/women have been forced into marriages.
