| PRESIDENTS JONATHAN AND OBAMA |
While Nigerians are still
fuming over the recent snub of the country by American president, Barrack Obama,
during his recent three-nation-tour of Africa, the second time in a couple of
years, it has emerged that the real reason the president of the most powerful
country in the world snubbed Nigeria was not unconnected with the country’s
stand on homosexuality and same sex marriage.
According to a reliable
source who spoke to Superbass on
grounds of anonymity: “Forget the bullshit about corruption! Don’t we have
corrupt politicians in South Africa or Tanzania or where ever he has visited? The
real reason why Obama chose to snub Nigeria is because of Nigeria’s stand on
homosexuality. Remember, Secretary Clinton had threatened sanctions against
Nigeria during Obama’s first term after the homosexual community in Nigeria
protested in Nigeria with a call for equal rights with straight couples.
“Remember, the country had
reacted by prescribing 14 year jail term for offenders. Do you think it’s a
coincidence that it was years later, when Obama was on his tour that the
National Assembly chose to ratify the 14 years jail term into Law. The move was
simply calculated by the National Assembly to let the Americans know that
Nigeria cannot be intimidated; we will stand by our religious beliefs no matter
what America does. It was in direct response to the American snub,” the source
alleged.
“The Americans are playing
a game. How can the president of the most powerful country in the world visit
Africa and not acknowledge the most populous black nation in the world. 200
million people is not a joke; we remain America’s biggest market in Africa and
the second largest economy after South Africa,” another source added.
Once considered a taboo,
homosexuality has steadily been gaining popularity in the last 20 years. In
recent times they have begun to emerge from behind the curtains. CNN’s Anderson
Cooper, Richard Quest and tennis star, Martina Navratilova are popular homosexuals
who have come out of the closet. Only recently, France’s approval of gay
marriages drew widespread protests in France as the first gay couple tied the
knot in that country.

Will you force people to live by what you believe. Its neo colonialism. No be by force. But still the jail term too harsh o.
