It was brought to our notice that parts of Nikki Laoye’s statement, with regards to anti-gay law question, was culled from her recent interview in ThisDay Newspaper (22nd March, 2014).
“I believe that it’s the ideal plan by God when he created humankind. I just think the law and the 14 years imprisonment are unnecessary. Nigerians, even before the law, don’t appreciate or condone the gay mode.”
Was posted by many blogs but with report reaching us ,it was not the full statement .
The first sentence from her statement was removed, hereby communicating a different meaning from what was initially said and started off a barrage of insults and comments against her person due to the misinterpreted statement.
“Personally I am all for man and woman relationships only. I believe that it’s the ideal plan by God when he created humankind. I just think the law and the 14 years imprisonment are unnecessary. Nigerians, even before the law, don’t appreciate or condone the gay mode. So to me,it doesn’t change anything.
We have other pending law matters for more important issues we are facing as a nation that need to be addressed such as Protection of the Nigerian citizens, the senseless killings of the young unarmed students,our electricity issues.These should be looked into fully instead”– This is the full statement.
Word, I agree
Africa should be left alone with what they believe
