According to u: "in law when a crime is committed there must be a harm caused to another party as a result of the crime".

That is very untrue. A crime is an act that goes against d laws of d land whether harm is caused to another party or not. D arguments u put forth are watery and have always been d stale defense put up by gay apologists. In many countries of d world, polygamy is a criminal offence. What harm does polygamy cause to anyone if those involved are consenting adults? So ur assertion that because homosexuality is consensual, it exempts it from being a crime is wrong.

What constitutes crime is relative as every society has it's criteria for deciding what is and what isn't a crime. If d govt of nigeria under d then president Jonathan used religion, then so be it. In d words of Uhuru Kenyatta, such laws are a reflection of d prevailing culture of d people of that society. So as far religious tenets and natural laws are concerned, homosexuality is an aberration irrespective of consent. Even if u remove religion from d mix, u still can't justify homosexuality.

Still talking about what constitutes crime or not, like I said it's all a function of how society views such acts& if there are laws criminalising them. If u look at d drug trade, in d real sense, is it a crime or just a business transaction with suppliers supplying products to willing (consensual) buyers? But yet d trade is deemed illegal.

So my dear, what constitutes law and crime goes beyond your sentiments about what u refer to as acts performed by 2 consenting adults. Don't try to hide under endsars campaign to give credibility to homosexuality. E no work

Bro I'm not gay, I'm highly straight, I'm just trying to let people know that there are factors that make or can make people become gay, Nobody is actually born gay, there is usually a trigger in the process to become gay, the funny part here is, there are gays who don't even know what triggered theirs and it's not that the gay stuff has been in them from birth, from my findings I have found out that every human has a feminine and a masculine side of personality, and once certain conditions pattern the mind of that person to trigger one these personalities to get way above or below normal then homosexuality comes in, that's one aspect, the second aspect is the issue of sexual satisfaction, some gays don't go through the first stage, they derive a higher sexual satisfaction through homosexuality and this is where addiction comes in, at this stage it is higher than drug, that if they do not have sex with same sex they cannot feel sexual satisfaction....

maisams01:
oga stop defending the undefendable
laws are made for people and not the other way round
Buhari cannot impose wearing of hijab because he knows Nigeria is a multi religious country so your example doesn't make sense
The people who made law are Representatives of the people so they carry the interest of the people
whenever they try to make any law that doesn't please the people, we protest
But was there any resistance when LGBT was criminalized? no
why? because Nigerians love it that way
so causing harm or not LGBT is a crime period.
I know you will go any length to defend your unwholesome act but unfortunately for you LGBT will forever be a crime in Nigeria

maisams01:
you can only wish but no one will ever legalize the stupidity in this country and every LGBT member should keep it to himself
there is no difference bet them and the sars we are protesting against, they are both anti Human so anybody that wants to be unfortunate by being gay or lesbian should leave the country or we hand them over to authorities at sight to be prosecuted

maisams01:
wail all you want but LGBT's are criminals in Nigeria and will continue to be
if you want to practice LGBT leave my country or risk prosecution

lexy2014:


U say u agree that it is a crime in Nigeria yet u are asking "what crime have they committed".

maisams01:
jaga jaga or not the crime they did was breaking the law of the land
LGBT community are criminals and will be treated as such and there is nothing you can do about it

Ahumanbeing:

People who sound like you usually have a strong attraction to your fellow sex, but pretend in a very awful way, it's so obvious you're gay but because of "god" (@ bolded) you pretend you're not.

maisams01:
leave religion aside
LGBT is a crime in Nigeria and anybody caught should be tried and if found guilty, should be prosecuted
And if they want to join the protest, they should join as Nigerians not as any LGBT nonsense

nigeriansamurai:
is the almighty proud of you??

Brendaniel:


That's because they researched wrongly and the truth is there is nothing like gay gene, the whole thing about gay and lesbianism lies in the control on the mind, desire, satisfaction and sexual satisfaction, why did I separate satisfaction from sexual satisfaction, because they are 2 different things.

1. There are forced gays by mind control
2. There are forced gays by environment
3. There are forced gays by rape
4. There are forced gays by porn
5. There are gays by choice( who just wanted to be gay not that they even liked it but for reasons that could be as little as "oh it looks cool"
6. There are gays by poor family conditioning and upbringing( when I say poor, it's not about finance)
7. There are gays who just love the act of being gay( to be on the abnormal side of things, in this aspect "sex", that's where the group "queer" falls into)
8. There are gays who are bisexuals( this group are probably the highest in number( they have tasted gay sex and liked it and can't leave it and still enjoy straight sex and can't also leave it for various reasons which i might explain later)


Note I used the word "forced" in some points, there is a reason, I will explain later though, In all these, gay sex is mainly about addiction, once you start and you get addicted, it is very hard to leave, there are so many studies I have done concerning this topic, I have found out that it is even stronger than cocaine and it can be transmitted more like an initiation, personally I have had to question my sexual orientation at some point in my life based on personal experiences and have also seen others too who faced same experiences about their sexual orientation but I found out the problem and I was able to correct such thinking, some people never get to correct it and keep going in that direction and get fully into gay( though I have never had gay sex before but there were things I experienced in Life at various stages that brought me close thinking or trying to make me become gay or maybe bisexual) some people cross that line and never return.

You can keep asking your question, I will keep responding, I prefer answering like this...

maisams01:
well you should try practicing it or tell anyone practicing it to do it let's see nah
I won't move to another country and we will continue to execute anybody that decides to be unfortunate in the name of LGBT nonsense

hakeem4:


You’re a dunce! Animals don’t hunt the same species, same way human don’t kill themselves

maisams01:
well then they should move to a country where they can be tolerated
here in Nigeria they are criminals and will be treated as such

osazuwa23:
it a way to lower are population it called population control just like they brought in aids

Maskedme1:



It's funny how you try to shut opposing opinion off by trying to ignorant-shame ahead.

you claim they are not fighting for it to be legalized. And also, that they are trying to involve everyone in the protests.

If this is true, is there even need to mention LGBT in the protest?? The protest is for everybody; every Nigerian; why now trying to profile people??
If there is no ulterior agenda, if this is about everybody, then there is no need mentioning LGBT in this protest. There is no need for profiling, since it's for everybody.

OfoIgbo:


You should also be condemning police brutality against armed robbers and yahoo boys.

Let us not let the west cunningly introduce the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Nigeria

Abibabiba:
This is the beginning of the end of unity within our protest simply because of feelings pride, achievements and leadership by this Feminist Coalition.

The inclusion of this LGBGTQ shows great insensitivity & they feel they can steer the ongoing movement in any direction they like.
Some days ago, the feminist group publicized their names on twitter that they are the ones behind the group. For what purpose? We haven't achieved our purpose, ego is already setting in.

Division and disunity within us is all that is needed for us to lose this endsars battle against the present government.

Just curious, how would a march in BC affect policies or politics in Nigeria?

I guess the right place to hold this type of event would be Nigeria. A place like UN Plaza in NYC can also serve the purpose of sending a message to the world.

BC seems too remote and probably no one among the policy makers in Nigeria will even be aware that such event took place.

That was just my 2 cents

NeromAk:
Hello please I am a Nigerian in Toronto and I need assistance on what to do at the moment. Currently I misplaced my International passport and the embassy isn’t responding to my calls for an appointment . What should I do next?

hinograce:
@einsteino Does this info go into your profile? Can a potential employer who does a background check see this traffic offence?


Just curious.

Hi MoneySmart,

Glad you took out time to express your opinion. As humans, we are social animals. We are influenced by the actions, ideas and experiences of others. If you understand how the Media and Hollywood works, you would also understand how views are framed. It is opined that experience is the best teacher. However, wise people learn from the experiences of others to avoid mistakes.

I passionately expressed myself because the comment was dangerous. I strongly insulted the individual because he is ignorant and decided to stand by his ignorance. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with being ignorant, it is stupid to stand by an ignorant viewpoint. There are certain situations or topics I am ignorant on or half knowledgeable. However, I do not express an opinion or stick by an ignorant opinion. The category of people I know that take such action are MAD MEN.

In life, it is so easy to give advice especially when you are remote from the situation, unaware of the full information, detached or have no interest in the individuals involved. For example, everybody is a great marriage counselor on other people's marriage other than theirs. It is also funny that people are quick to give advices themselves will NEVER implement. Some people have suggested that abuse victims do not need therapy. How would a victim heal? Often abuse victims tend to become the abusers later on in life. Another example are molested children who become pedophiles. Also, a chronic abuser might be unaware of why he/she is abusive or that they are abusive. Oh yes, you would be shocked.

In other not to beat around the bush or to seem repetitive, I have presented an alternative approach based on the lives of people who initially felt their actions were right, only to discover they made a mistake. Their discovery is as a result of their OWN experience and now they wish they had adopted a different approach. Fiction is different from reality. I can confirm to you that these individuals, the alleged victims who escalated as well as the alleged accused, are experiencing a difficult time.

To conclude, I wasn't interested in the response of the individual and still not interested. This is not a debate. My focus was to clarify how dangerous, ignorant and stupid his comments were and to provide alternative suggestions that works. For victims in abusive marriages - YES, you need therapy whether you want to continue in the marriage/relationship or not and if you think your marriage is important, both you and your partner need therapy and counseling. Also, remember, you chose your partner. Hence, leaving or staying in your relationship/marriage is also a CHOICE. Choices comes with circumstances, either good or bad. So the choice is yours to make and don't blame anyone, other than yourself, for the choices you make in life. This is my last take on this. I believe I have expressed myself enough.

listowell:
@einsteino, it is always men. Women are never wrong, remember that. They come with you, don't wanna work, have been hiding under we are raising your children while in Nigeria. Now they still wanna Gucci and stuff. If you no agree, police shows..you get kicked out. She brings in her bf and you still contribute to the rent or mortgage. Nobody Sabi abuse system reach women! I heard one even ran off with pr bf abandoning her hubby and three children because their app failed, you know they came via US. How can you forsake your family or hubby because of failed asylum app?

Some men get their own Shaa.

You heard! lol! Unconfirned information. Are you sure you are not spreading rumours or gossip

Carchoice:
what is your contribution to this world and Nigeria especially? List your achievements and I’ll list mine let’s see what you have done to make the world a good place.

Afrocentric:
I repeat, you are a COWARD

Carchoice:
my dad has lots of lands and houses in the village but none of his children cares about them. Whoever wants them can take it when he’s gone. That’s how we were brought up. And that’s the same way I’ll bring up my children.

Nor put eye for anybody property when you still have two hands, two legs and a life ahead of you, not even my dads property. That’s how I was brought up. My children will be far ahead of any uncle/aunty even if they are just a year old. That’s the plan my friend. I’m no pvssy nigha. I know more than you. If you leave the city and go to the village to claim inheritance, lol. You are the pvssy nigha my friend.

Aizen123:
Please I need advice. I lost my Dad over 2 months now and he hasn't been buried due to the pandemic. My Uncle's are all in Lagos and can't come back.
