I just wish America will stop doing business with us. But the fact is that, it can’t..
If I can’t live in peace and freedom in my supposed country, then I don’t want that country to be in existence.

July 23, 07:35standard reply & unsurprisingly, what we expect. America can’t stop doing business with Nigeria on account of the same-sex law when one of its biggest trading partner is Saudi Arabia with its myriad of human rights abuses. only thing it can do is support the LGBT causes. people resent imperialism & it’ll play into the hands of those who claims that it’s foreign & doesn’t exist in our culture

Issues of don’t accept gay rights trailed d visit! And to d average, foolish nd low minded Nigerians, being gay is like EBOLA! !

July 23, 08:05Ah! The tweet making all the headlines this morning. I swear these ppl will say anything to distract the nigerian ppl from issues that are of serious import, and the sad thing, is they fall for the same trick everytime. Gay topic equals HOT topic so I don’t blame them. Anything to boost approval ratings.

July 23, 08:08And you know what? I don’t even believe the Adesina character. Call me naive, but I suspect the discourse between Buhari n Obama is a little less point-blank as he made it out to be in his tweet.

July 23, 08:18his followup tweet says the gay issue never came up between Buhari & Obama. said it was between him & the joint house

July 23, 08:35Isnt it ideal that Presidents, democratically elected Presidents, voted by gay ppl that are constant targets of injustice, be diplomatic? You’ll think that a on time failed Head of State, would know a thing or two abt diplomacy as opposed to addressing gay issues so curtly. I hope the US withholds what ever help, they intend giving us. Let PMB go to Uganda for assistance, seeing as both our countries share the same stance on gay rights.

July 23, 09:28I pray o, this is business my sweet (PP), world bank loaned us $2.1 billion, and i wish they didn’t. They should have suggested “rights to LGBT community or No Money” but they didn’t. Hmmmmm.

July 23, 09:28Really? So the senile old man who doesn’t know the difference between Germany of the 80s and Germany on 2015, who doesn’t know the difference between Angela Merkel and Michelle Obama, who doesn’t know the correct name of the party that provided the platform upon which he won the election, who doesn’t even know the name of the agency in charge of elections in his country has siddenly turned lucid and sharp as a tack because the word “gay” was mentioned. Arrant nonsense!

July 23, 09:52Smh … more evidence of the deeply, genetically etched homophobia of Nigerians. To those who were clamoring that PMB might initiate the process of repealing the anti gay law, here’s your answer!
I was surprised at how many people posted this on Facebook especially given the fact that so many of them actually live, work and benefit from the liberal US society, i was like ‘if you’re so homophobic, why do you live in a land that embraces gay rights? Why notove back to Nigeria where homophobia is the culture? ‘

July 23, 16:14The earlier you accept and embrace the reality – that Nigerians will NEVER accept gays, the happier and better for you! Weigh your options if you must stay here and decide how best to deal with it … but the indelible fact remaina that Nigerians have a deeply embedded hatred of anything remotely connected to gays and it aint changing anytime soon…

July 23, 16:09Frankly, that anyone hoped the outcome would be different was just building castles in the air. Someone said here, when things are better and the bulk of Nigerians are gainfully employed, being anti-gay would be a no-issue. As it is, Nigerians av way too much time on their hands to be poke-nosing in bedroom affairs of their neighbours.
