Homosexuality and Nigeria



Today, I was doing what I do when I'm bored and can't sleep. No, not watching pr0n. Perv! I was going through our sitemeter stats and I found this blog. I was talking about how hard it is to find openly gay Nigerians on twitter the other day. The girl* that runs the blog is gay or queer, I don't know the appropriate term so excuse my ignorance.

I admire her.

I wish I was that brave. Knowing how homophobic most Nigerians are, coming out publicly is a very ballsy move. I have my own history of homophobia so I'm not going to claim I was always down with the cause. I used to think gay people were less than human until I actually met a gay person in the flesh. He was human like me, he went through the same shit I went I did. He hated homework too. Who wudda thunk it?

A friend showed me this video of a gay pastor in Nigeria. I would embed it but "Embedding disabled by request". The same friend also told me the church was burnt down by Nigerians. I am not going to sit here and claim I know what is wrong or right but I think people should be judged based on their character and not who or what they are attracted to.

The video comments are in typical outraged Nigerian style: poorly punctuated and vicious.

How come u call urself a pastor wen u r leading many souls to hell.repent, preach d truth,win souls for Christ n stop these ur nti-christ preaching.i hope u remember vividly well in d Bible about what happened 2 Sodom n Ghomorah.so jst dont let d anger of God be upon u n those dat follow u in misleading children of God n for turning The Bible upside down.Read this book"4 HOURS INTERVIEW IN HELL". Please repent n be saved!!!!!!!!!!

Leviticus chapter 18 vs 22, 1 corinthians chapter 6 vs 9, Romans chapter 1 vs 26, all diz verses 4rm d bible strongly criticized same sex union. Pastor Rowland Jide Macaulay, or what eva u are been called, u must be a liar & full of deciet 2 claim u love GOD & still lie abt his scriptures, just 2 mak a way 4 ur lustful emotions. If u continue in dis heinous act & fail 2 accept GOD wholeheartedly, u are gonna burn in hell!!

God Punish You, you are a false prophet.
The Bible says: LEV 18:22 "THOU SHALT NOT LIE WITH MANKIND AS WITH WOMANKIND IT IS AN ABOMINATION!
Seen as you are a theologist, explain the scripture above. PLEASE.

I wish I could explain homosexuality but I can't. However, I know this much: being gay is not a choice.

Now I'm done with the serious, we can get back to the funnay



*UPDATE: The blog is run by a girl not a dude. The picture with the beard threw me off. My apologies. Thanks Ife & Miss Fizzy

  1. I personally dont think that being gay is a choice cos i doubt anybody would wake up one morning and go:'my life is too perfect, i need to be gay and suffer a little' cos seriously they suffer a LOT!!!
    you should listen to skim:your eyes.a poem on youtube performed on def poetry.

  2. The owner of the blog is a biological female that doesn't mind being addressed as he, she, or they so I guess the writer was right to refer to her/him/them as he.

  3. Thanks Ife and Miss Fizzy.

    I've read the blog before and I was sure it was a girl. Then I read it today and I saw a picture of her as a dude and it sorta threw me off.

    THanks for clearing that up though
