it is okay to be gay

I would like to start this piece by stating emphatically that i am a christian, i believe in God and i have a girlfriend whom i love so much.

In deuteronomy chapter 22 vs 28 of the King James version of the holy bible it states that "if a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father 50 shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives". this was the phenomenom ruling the past, it was the punishment melted out when one commits such crime, in modern day society, when such occurs what this means is with the lady father's mandatory approval, the rapist should be given a chieftaincy title amidst a fun fare and carnival, applauded for his deed, asked to pay as little as N50 for her dowry and crowned with the honour of continuous raping of the lady for life. 

it used to be normal for a white man to adopt a black person as a slave many years ago, the black coloured person was seen as an inferior, they were gaged, chained by arms and legs, bonded and shipped to the west and sold for next to nothing to white families who in turn used them as slaves and in most cases some were beaten to death. but now times have changed, colour difference has been embraced by almost all with the advent of inter racial relationships while some white people look forward to having mocha babies with black people.

it also used to be a normal practice to kill twins immediately after birth, because they were strange, strange because the society refused to be open minded, since it was common for women to have a kid at once, the natural law was narrowly interpreted to mean that giving birth to more than one child at once was an abnormal occurrence hence evil in most developing nations. but now it is not just the baby twins that are seen as evil, its their murder at birth, how callous we must have thought to ourselves when people now have sextuplets in modern times. for every law of nature, there is an exception, we are black people yet we have albinos among us, they are not bad or evil, they are just different. the world was reportedly started with Adam in the garden of Eden in modern day Iraq, hence every human in the world is suppose to be from one colour and one race. however, there are whites, caucasians, blacks and asians. its not evil also, it's just that we are different and this difference must have started at some point. there are some men that have certain features that are of women and some women have certain features that traditionally belong to men, it is not bad or evil, its just nature. there are also the hermaphrodites, genetically born with both male and female characteristics, these group of people are not bad or evil, they don't choose to be born that way, they are just different, some choose to stay that way while others choose to be operated on and stick to a sex which in most cases are determined by doctors and decided upon by percentage of proximity to a particular sex.

Meditation on homosexuality and on the wonders of nature and how she breaks her own law in all of these instances and more ought to convince us that men who are naturally born to love men and women who are also naturally born to love women would exist somewhere and someday in this world, this is not bad or evil, it is just mother nature asserting her rights to break her own rules.

Homosexuality is not evil, Homosexuality is not a western experinment invented in a laboratory, it is not a cultural fad, Homosexuality is not a measure of cultural decadence nor is it a sign of the end of time, Homosexuality is simply a biological fact, in some cases a prove that God can not be predicted in his ways of creation in both humans and animals. you can not become gay unless you are born one and ofcourse i would never stand with some gays and lesbians that claim to join the club simply because their heterosexual partner cheated on them and so they needed to swing the other way to be happy.

in the 19th century, at a time when homosexuals were executed freely in western societies such as Brazil, Argentina, Mexico etc, the empire of Japan and the Ottoman empire decriminalized homosexuality because they suddenly discovered that people could actually be born gay and it is okay to be gay.

the normal healthy human body is born consisting of 46 chromosomes, amongst these are the X and Y chromosome responsible for sex dertermination, a female usual carries an X chromosome while a male carries an XY chromosome, however it has been genetically proven with several cases of people born with XXY chromosomes, they are born as females morphologically. they would not menstrate when they reach puberty, they would not grow breast, they have no ovaries and have an under developed vagina relatively small compared to the normal size. these condition medically is known as Swyer's Syndrome. these group of people are operated upon, have their undeveloped gonads surgically removed, and are placed on monthly oestrogen injection for life to help induce their female sexual characteristic while suppressing the male hormones testosterone or antimüllerian hormone. this is no different from the hermaphrodites and if these group of people choose to love a woman later in life, could you blame them for responding to the natural attraction as a result of the residual male hormones in them after surgically changing them to females due to natural consequencies? absolutely not.

most people say its is disgusting to have a man sleep with another man as true as that may sound but many married men also have unprotected sex with multiple female comcubines, this under any law is disdain, disgusting and sinful as well. let us embrace the fact that some people can actually be born gay and it is okay to be GAY.

The death of common sense

 In 2009 a Saudi Arabian liner carrying crude oil worth over $200million was hijacked by armed somalian pirates with all its crew on board. the dare devil pirates had stormed the Saudi Arabian ship along the west african coastline in a boat / ferry. They demanded a ransom half the price of the ship's worth of crude oil which was $100million from the Saudi Arabian company but after a two month ordeal of negotiations they settled for $2million which was paid and dropped off on a parachute from a helicopter into the ship's deck. upon confirmation the pirates released the crew, loaded their ferry with the loot of raw dollars and headed back into the sea but halfway the boat sank and two of the pirates died while one survived and was arrested. one would have thought with such huge success in the trade these guys would be wiser to buy a bigger boat atleast. 

common sense they say is not common in most parts of Africa or at least in Nigeria, i had read with dismay how a pension boss had appeared in court on monday and claimed guilty of stealing pension funds to the tune of $200million, one would have thought he would have be sent to a firing squad but he was granted bail and was asked to pay $1,500 by the presiding judge and was back on the street a free man. after a public outcry he is back in court and the judgement had been overturned.

Are we in an era were people don't think through or are we just the ones over thinking with our criticism? President Goodluck Johnathan had recently sent Nigerian troops to Mali to help quell the violence there. he had just announced the jamboree trip had already cost tax payers N9billion in less than two weeks. lets have a crucial look at this, Nigeria like Mali has religious violence also in some part of the north and has prompted international communities to send help to us, need i state here that Mali is of no importance to the world, except to france and as a result of this, the Malian faction of Al Qeadi dreaded terrorist group had pledge war in Nigeria. what do we gain in all of these?

following the lagos light rail projects, one would also laud Gov Fashola for at least providing trains to lagos which should commence operations in June this year however no one had questioned the quality of the trains. The trains about to be ferried to lagos are trains that had been abandoned in toronto by canada. They were used for over 30 years in toronto and upon signs of eminent danger as a result of frequent break downs and constant repairs they were recalled and replaced with brand new trains while the old ones were ferried to a dump site. these trains were given to Fashola for free and asked to be disposed as toxic and harmful, but on the contrary, they were ferried to the united states to be overhauled by a train mechanic and would be sent to lagos before march. Amist fun fare and parade they shall be commissioned and used. The big question is what does it cost to buy brand new trains using private partnership? lagos has the population of Canada as a whole of about 30 million.

its high time we noted that while we rigmarole parading ourselves as giants of africa, the world is laughing at the decisions we make which sets us back decades and increases the number of years to catch up on civilization.

leave God alone and let him rest....

Many of us are oblivious of the fact that a lot of pastors sell heaven to us as been heavenly nice but arent willing to go there now. They have body guards, SSS, they fly in private jets and when on land they are chaveur driving in the most expensive cars cemented with bullet and bomb proof just to live longer on earth. This indicates that earth is first our home and what ever happens in heaven shall be left for a later date. i have done a piece earliar about religion, the will of God and what we are expected to do as followers titiled "God can not be mocked" Nigerians are so religiously inclined that they frown at anyone who dares to be on the opposite side. i have heard of people asking for prayer for Nigeria even on facebook and i watched a video footage of a church asking its congregration to pray for Nigeria on new year's eve and i laughed. I am yet to read about any developed country that had prayed its way to greatness. the first problem of Nigeria is religion and not governance. God is not mocked, God dosen't provide jobs, constant power supply, healthcare, good roads, food, Blackberry subscription, american or uk visa, raw cash, and even a good government, all these and many more can only be provided by the person you voted in to rule you as seen in other nations and do not waste your time in sharing testimonies in churches after achieving any of these as it is supposed to be natural. The clear fact that there have been over 7 recorded cases of bombings in several catholic churches and other pentecostal churches nationwide without God stopping it prior with recorded deaths amounting to thousands is a clear indication that God is not and would never be involved in security but the police regardless of how much you pray to him.

What can God do and can't do? God is God regardless, he can not stop an accident from happening to anyone on a deplorable road without speed limits regardless of how much you pray to him, he is a just God and works by principle. if you do not study for an exam, you would face the consequence. why do we then think any different and belive so much in faith? faith truely works for those who are prepared for it, faith would work if all is put in place, if there is a good healthcare system, if there is constant power and if there is a good and accountable government and until then faith is just an illusion. faith can be when a couple have waited for a child for 10 years and finally have one so the sooner we realise that God is niether our problem nor solution, the better we move forward as a nation so lets leave God alone and let him rest while we face our problems head on.....
