Ndi Igbo Salutes Jonathan for Signing Anti-gay Bill into Law


The Ndi-Igbo Cultural Society of Nigeria (NCSN) on Tuesday hailed President Goodluck Jonathan for taking a strong moral stand by signing the anti-gay bill into law.

In a statement issued in Lagos by the society’s President, Mr Udo Udeogaranya, the group said that the act showed that Jonathan was committed to promoting and sustaining African culture, heritage and values.


"We believe in the doctrine that every sovereign nation must rise to determine its destiny, and it is its choice, not chance, that determines its destiny.

"In the issue of marriage, relationship and social behaviour, our country, members of National Assembly and President Goodluck Jonathan made the best choice," the group stated.

It, however, urged the National Assembly and Jonathan to consider censoring foreign programmes being disseminated into Nigeria to protect young Nigerians against negative western influence.

Elder statesman and veteran politician, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, in an interview with newsmen also commended Jonathan for signing the bill into law.

“None of the three religions; Islam, Christianity and traditional religion allows same-sex marriage. It is not even practised among animals,” he said.

He also urged the Federal Government to disregard comments from the international community on the law.

He said that the law was meant for Nigerians, who had expressed their support for it.
