Senate bans same sex marriage in Nigeria - 10 years imprisonment for offenders



Public announcement oh! Hitting my góngó. Let those who have ears, hear o!

The Nigerian Senate today passed a law banning same sex marriage in Naija. Any man and man or woman and woman that attempt to marry each other...will be arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to a maximum of ten years in prison. There's no fine oh!

Nigeria Senate Bans Gay Marriage


Nigeria's Senate voted Tuesday to criminalize gay marriage, instituting prison terms of more than a decade for violations in a nation where gays and lesbians already face discrimination and abuse.
The bill heads to Nigeria's House of Representatives, who have to approve the bill and send it to President Goodluck Jonathan for his signature before it becomes a law. However, public opinion - and lawmakers' calls for even harsher penalties for being gay - shows wide support for the measure in the deeply religious nation.
"Such elements in society should be killed," Sen. Baba Dati said during the debate.
Under the measure, couples who marry could face up to 14 years in jail, and witnesses or anyone who helps couples marry could be sentenced to 10 years behind bars. That's an increase over the bill's initial penalties.
Homosexuality is already technically illegal in Nigeria, a country evenly divided between Christians and Muslims that is nearly universally opposed to homosexuality. In the areas in Nigeria's north where Islamic Shariah law has been enforced for about a decade, gays and lesbians can face death by stoning.
Across the African continent, many countries have made homosexuality punishable by jail sentences. Ugandan legislators introduced a bill that would impose the death penalty for some gays and lesbians, though it has not been passed into law two years later. Even in South Africa, the one country where gays can marry, lesbians have been brutally attacked and murdered.
The proposed law also has drawn the interest of European Union countries, some of which already offer Nigeria's sexual minorities asylum based on gender identity. The British government also recently threatened to cut aid to African countries that violate the rights of gay and lesbian citizens. However, British aid remains quite small in oil-rich Nigeria, one of the top crude suppliers to the U.S.
International opinion also didn't seem to trouble lawmakers. During the debate, televised live from National Assembly in Nigeria's capital Abuja, Senate President David Mark said Nigeria would not bow to international pressure on any legislation.
"Anybody can write to us, but our values are our values," Mark said. "No country has a right to interfere in the way we make our laws."

Clem Ohameze: My cousin was killed, my driver escaped with a bullet!

                                                           


Well, well, well, in the year 2007…it was actually 2006…I felt that I have fulfilled my desire in the movie industry. After all the movies and the awards, I just felt I needed to move on and do something else, so I set out for politics.
In 2006, I registered with the presently ruling party PDP and contested for house of reps in Imo state. I won the primaries and immediately after that, I was faced with all sorts of threats.
Some people felt I should not be a star in a movie industry and a star in the politics as well. So they said, “no, Clems, you are not supposed to be here, go and face your movie and leave us here.”
I felt that was what led them to do what they did. My car was attacked. I escaped their attacks severally. My cousin was killed, my driver escaped with a bullet. It was that serious. They thought I was inside the car and they wanted to eliminate me.

Found Dead: Wales Football Manager "Gary Speed" Commits Suicide At Age 42



The world of football was in shock today after Wales manager Gary Speed has been found hanged at his home in Cheshire.

The former Leeds United, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton star, who appeared on BBC's Football Focus show yesterday, was aged 42.

Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, which is thought to be suicide. He leaves his wife Louise and two sons.

As news of the tragedy struck, tribute flooded in for the Wales boss who only retired from playing last year after winning 85 caps for his country and scoring seven goals.

A hastily-arranged minute's silence was then held at Swansea City's match against Aston Villa at the Liberty Stadium after the news broke today.

The Football Association of Wales today confirmed that their manager had died.

Madam Lucy Dankwa, a mother of seven, told our correspondent that a policeman at a checkpoint in Anambra State killed her husband, Chief Dankwa Ndule, 57, over a paltry sum of N20.

How it happened
I was heading for October morning mass on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 when an unknown woman called me about 6am. She said she was calling from Nnewi Teaching Hospital, in Anambra State. She informed me that my husband was about being taken into the theatre for surgery as a result of injuries he sustained from gunshots.

I was shocked. The woman repeated that he was shot and they were trying to get all necessary documents to enable them push him into the theatre.

                                                                  Ini Edo responds to allegations of cheating in AFRIFF voting poll
Lovely actress, Ini Edo is in the news again! Recently social media has been abuzz with allegations of vote rigging of the African International Film Festival (AFRIFF) by several actresses but most notably Ini.
In a hotly contested voting spree, which had Genevieve Nnaji leading initially, then finally being overtaken by Uche Jombo, Ini is said to have suddenly overtaken her with several thousand votes, leaving many very upset and angry. Allegations of vote rigging, and use of rigging software being employed, etc have been leveled against her.
There are many holes being punched in the whole AFRIFF polls. There have also been wide spread complaints in the categories such as in the Best Actor category where a London-based PR consultant said Desmond Elliot was intially said to have over 3,000 votes only for her to discover 45 minutes later that his votes had been decreased to 1,400 while another contestant Ali Nuhu's votes were inched up to 700!

Why President Goodluck Jonathan fired Farida Waziri

                                                      


President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday unceremoniously relieved the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC], Mrs Farida Waziri, of her appointment, amid allegations of unethical conduct and procedural blunders in her prosecution of the anti-corruption war. 

But beyond her alleged sundry ‘sins’, intense pressure from formidable political interests cutting across party lines especially at the National Assembly and the Governors’ Forum, were said to have influenced the decision of President Jonathan, who announced the development as he jetted out of the country on a three-day official visit to France.
