    Lesbians, homosexuals are all members of the Body of Christ – Archbishop Welby

    Archbishop Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury has said lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, queers and other people of similar orientation are all members of the Body of Christ.

    Archbishop Welby, who is the principal leader of the Church of England made this known in a statement on Tuesday in reaction to the draft anti-LGBTQ+ Bill due to be debated by the Ghanaian parliament.

    Welby expressed grave concerns and said he would be speaking with the Archbishop of Ghana in the coming days to discuss the Anglican Church of Ghana’s response to the Bill

    “I am gravely concerned by the draft anti-LGBTQ+ Bill due to be debated by the Ghanaian parliament. I will be speaking with the Archbishop of Ghana in the coming days to discuss the Anglican Church of Ghana’s response to the Bill.

    “The majority of Anglicans within the global Anglican Communion are committed to upholding both the traditional teaching on marriage as laid out in the 1998 Lambeth Conference Resolution I:10, and the rights of every person, regardless of sexual orientation, before the law.

    “In Resolution I:10, the Anglican Communion also made a commitment “to assure [LGBTQ+ people] that they are loved by God and that all baptised, believing and faithful persons, regardless of sexual orientation, are full members of the Body of Christ.

    “I remind our brothers and sisters in the Anglican Church of Ghana of these commitments. We are a global family of churches, but the mission of the church is the same in every culture and country: to demonstrate, through its actions and words, God’s offer of unconditional love to every human being through Jesus Christ,” the Archbishop stated.

  • Some people who signed Nigeria’s anti-gay law are homosexuals

    Some people who signed Nigeria’s anti-gay law are homosexuals

    Bolu Okupe, son of Doyin Okupe, former aide to Goodluck Jonathan, ex-president, has averred that some of the people who signed the Nigerian anti-gay law are homosexuals.

    In an Instagram live session on Monday, the 27-year-old faulted attempts by the country’s leadership to discourage homosexuality, adding that such energy should rather be dissipated into other pressing issues.

    “With the whole 14-year law, I bet you for a fact, some people who signed that law are gay themselves. It’s ridiculous,” he said.

    “I really do feel sorry for the women. You women should be fighting more for acceptance because a lot of you guys are married to gay men. I am sorry but your whole lives are fake. Your husbands are living in secrecy and leading double lives.

    “I feel like some of you know and some of you don’t mind because your husband is rich but some of you didn’t know but discovered later, and it’s heartbreaking.

    “There is a lot that we need to do. At this point, I really see no reason for a 14-year prison for homosexuality. I feel that is not the first thing that we need to tackle. There is really no need for that law and that should be abolished as soon as possible. That is just my opinion.”

    Speaking further, Bolu said he is happy that his recent disclosure has again sparked discussions about the acceptability of homosexuality in Nigeria.

    “I believe that whether people like it or not. What happened has started or sparked a kind of conversation in the Nigerian atmosphere that needed to be heard. It started the whole conversation about gay and LGBT which at some points need to happen more and more,” he added.

    Homosexuals are after me –Paul Scata

    Ekejiuba Paul aka Paul Scata, whose comedy skits mainly focus on women related issues, has lamented over the challenges of constantly playing female characters.The versatile skit maker has averred that he gets advances from men.

    “When shooting with my (fake) big boobs, men often mistake me for a woman. Also, homosexuals always harass me thinking I am one of them. I also get advances from females. It has not been easy living in both worlds. Even when shooting my skits with female costumes, I struggle to stay in character. In fact, most times, my breasts burst and I have to start all over,” he told The Sun.

    On his parents’ reactions seeing their son decked in female costumes and acting with full breasts like a woman, Paul Scata said: “My father died a month ago, but when he saw me wearing wig for the first time, he was shocked and confused. He summoned me and asked if I wanted to become Bobrisky. I had to take my time to explain to him that it was just for comedy skits, and that I am straight. After the shoot, I took the clips to him to see and vet. He liked it and started supporting me. And for my mother, she has always been my backbone.”

    [See photos] Police discover house with over 300 chained children in Kaduna

    We are molested by homosexual adults says the underaged victims

    The police in Kaduna in central Nigeria have uncovered a house in Rigasa harbouring no fewer than 300 children, chained on the legs and starving.

    Some of the children are between the age of five and ten – Some of them according to the force are said to be from Burkina Faso, Mali and other African countries.

    Among the inhabitants were children who confess to be abused homosexually, while elderly say they subjected to daily recitation of the Holy Quran and prayers with torture.

    With chains on their legs and scars of injuries from torture, they disclose that Thursday evening’s unbundling of the place is liberation from slavery.

    Bello Hamza 42 years old another inmate said, he was tricked to the centre by his family who are interested in taking over my shared of our inheritance.

    In his words: “I have spent three months here with chains on my legs. Am supposed to be pursuing my Masters in University Pretoria South Africa. I got admission to study Applied Mathematics, but here I am chained.

    “They claim to be teaching us Quran and Islam, but they do a lot of things here. They subject the younger ones to homosexuality.

    “This is supposed to be an Islamic centre, but trying to run away from here attracts severe punishment; they tie people and hang them to the ceiling for that, but engaging in homosexuality attracts no punishment.

    “Within my short stay here, somebody had died as a result of torture. Others have died before my coming due to poor health and torture. They give us very poor food and we only eat twice a day; 11:00am and 10:00pm.

    “They have denied me alot of things here. I am a family man, I have responsibilities, but I am chained here not knowing what is happening to my family members.

    CP Ali Aji Janga while briefing newsmen at the site said, “we received an information that something is going on in this rehabilitation centre or Islamic center. So, I sent my DPO here to check what was going on. On getting here, we discovered that, this is neither a rehabilitation centre or Islamic school.

    “You can see it yourself that, small children, some of whom are brought from neighbouring African countrieslike Burkina Faso, Mali and others and from across Nigeria. Most of them are even chained.

    “These people are being used, dehumanized. You can see it yourself.

    “The man who is operating this home claimed that, parents brought their children here for rehabilitation. But, from the look on things this is not a rehabilitation centre. No reasonable parent will bring his children to this place.

    “So, we are going to investigate them and get to the root of the matter. We will find out the real motive behind this centre, and if they are found wanting they will be charged to court.

    “But first, we are evacuating all the people from this place to our station and we will make announcement for parents to come and recover their children.” He said.

    Meanwhile, the Proprietor of the centre simply identified as Malam said, all they do in the centre is teach people Islam.

    According to him, “All those allegations of torture, degumanization and homosexuality are false and mere allegations. We do nothing here other than teaching people Islam.

    “They don’t do anything other than, recitation of Qur’an, pray and worship God. Those chained are the stubborn ones who attempt running away. Those who don’t attempt running away are not chained. Some were chained before and after settling down, they were freed.

    “Most of them were brought by their parents from across the country and others from outside the country.” He said.

    Meanwhile, at the end of the raid, the inmates were evacuated from the premises in about 15 Danfo buses to the Police headquarters.
