The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, has commended Nigeria’s Federal Government for its uncompromising stand on the anti-gay law in spite of criticisms from a section of the international community.

Onaiyekan, briefing newsmen on activities to mark his 70th birthday in Abuja on Friday, said Nigeria, being an independent country, should stand firm on its culture, tradition and morals.

“The church accepts people as they are, we condemn homosexuality, Nigeria is an independent country and we do not beg for food.

1. what a surprise

the Catholic Church is in collusion with the Nigerian government

if the country didn't have oil, I'm sure their government would be begging for the same handouts as other 3rd world countries

2. OK Pope Francis

So either your remarks on gays are heartfelt, and you will remove this bigot from his post, OR YOU ARE A FUCKING LIAR.


Can't have it both ways.
