" Man is born free (but) and everywhere he is (the Nigeria) in chains"--Jean Jacque Rousseau.

"Man thinks himself (the Nigerian), the master of others and still remains a greater slave than they" Jean Jacque Rousseau

"I am not a liberator
liberators do not exist
the people have to liberate themselves"
--ERNESTO "CHE" GUEVARA (1928-1961)

Is the hand of the law saw short that the perpetrators of this barbarism cannot be brought to book? Who will liberate our people, if they cannot, by their concerted effort, liberate themselves?

I have said it before and I will say it again, if we cannot have a level playing field for all tribes, all religions and all nationalities in Nigeria and if we cannot all be treated as equals then let Nigeria cease to exist.

Uganda President refuses to sign anti-gay bill into law

Click banner for more info

President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has refused to sign into law an anti-gay bill passed by the country's parliament, which is aimed at imprisoning not just homosexuals, but people who talk about it without condemning the lifestyle. The President in a letter to the Country's parliament speaker said homosexuals are 'abnormal' but could be 'rescued' by improving the economy.

"Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons. You cannot call an abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people." President Museveni said

In December 2013, the Ugandan parliament passed its anti-gay bill going against  the President's advice and now seeks his assent. The President had initially advised that the homosexuality situation in the country be studied deeply and carefully before any laws against the practice be enacted.

The Ugandan anti-gay bill seeks to make all form of homosexual activities a criminal offense to be punishable under law. Homosexuals can get as much as a life term imprisonment punishment. Also anyone who knows a homosexual and doesn't report such to police authorities would also face some sanctions if found wanting.
