The Catholic
Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari,
political leaders, legislators and judges to resist all pressures and
temptation to legalise gay marriage in Nigeria.
The Catholic
bishops who expressed fear over the legalisation of gay marriage in the United
State of America, following concerns by the current trend of
same-sex-marriage, advised President Buhari to protect Nigerians from the
growing and dangerous influence of lesbianism, gay, bisexual and transgender
propaganda.
President of
the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, Most Rev Ignatius Kaigama, who
made this known yesterday on behalf of the bishops in a statement, described
gay marriage as sad, unjust and a lamentable situation based largely upon a
distorted perception of natural law, the will of God and human nature.
According to Kaigama, Canada, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Ireland and most
recently, United States of America are some of the countries that have gone
down the path, and are nations which undeniably have cultural, social and
economic influence upon many African nations including Nigeria.
“Mozambique
has not yet accepted same-sex-marriage, instead they have struck down their
legal ban on sodomy, thereby opening the door to the festering of the
homosexual culture/sub-culture within their society. Our people daily interact
with the Western nations mentioned above at different levels.
“These countries also generate a lot of the media content consumed in our
country and continent as well as much of the educational materials used in our
schools,” Kaigama noted.
