Press Conference
Why are we Here?
Distinguished guests and members of the press,
Today, we gather with a singular urgent purpose: to confront the crisis of defilement from sexual abominations ravaging our beloved country, Nigeria. This is a moment of reckoning, testing our collective resolve and commitment to decency; a moment to defend the dignity of humanity.
Where we Stand
Sadly, through the unfortunate patronage of some western nations, an obnoxious counterculture is fast spreading in Nigeria, expressing itself as homosexuality, lesbianism, cross-dressing, and all the wired contours accommodated under the deplorable LGBTQ umbrella. In the political space, educational institutions, the banking industry, and even within sacred religious institutions, Nigerians are being gradually desensitized to the social evils of homosexuality, a so-called “lifestyle” that we wish to describe more spiritually appropriately by the distasteful name of sodomy.
We reject sodomy in Nigeria on three strong grounds:
Cultural: As Africans, sodomy is alien to our culture and offensive to our values. Traditional African societies generally recognize romance between a male and a female, not sodomy.
Religious: Every major religion in Nigeria considers sodomy as a taboo.
Legal: The laws of Nigeria forbid sodomy, with a 14-year jail term for anyone guilty of the crime.
The Dark Roots of Sodomy
Western nations sponsoring sodomy, in the unfortunate effort to launder the deviant behaviour, have gone to great lengths to persuade the world that homosexuality and lesbianism are “alternative lifestyles.” We disagree. Even nature teaches us that sodomy is not a natural ‘style’ in life, and therefore not acceptable, even among animals. Homosexuality is a deliberate debasement of humanity by Lucifer the archenemy of God and humans.
Our persuasion that sodomy is sponsored by devils is reinforced by the “10-Point Agenda” of Alice Bailey the Satanist. The sixth item on that infernal agenda commands: “Make homosexuality an alternative lifestyle.” It is surprising that a society would reject the Ten Commandments of God but hang up Satan’s alternative “10-Point Agenda” in their government offices, as in the UK House of Lords. Certainly, there are dark forces behind the promotion and practice of homosexuality.
The Homosexual Cult in Nigeria
Recently, Nigeria was assailed with the news and trial of a notorious crossdresser who also claimed, in a recorded telephone conversation, to have a very influential “godfather,” thereby implicitly indicting the upper echelons of society in the unwholesome practice. That such a character could openly be called “Mummy of Lagos” is an indictment on our collective sensibility and decency as a country.
There is an increasing proliferation of sodomy cults in the country. In some circles, participation in the related obnoxious sex rituals has become the mandatory passport to employment, promotion, political support, business connections, sponsorship in the entertainment industry, and very strangely, ‘church growth.’ The vulnerable dormitories of secondary schools have lost their innocence to this beastly invasion, to say nothing of our tertiary institutions. The social media has not had the last allegation about celebrities who are sodomites. Agege, a district in Lagos, has unfortunately had its name adopted to describe the “a-gay-gay” misbehaviour.
We acknowledge that Nigeria has many problems: corruption, nepotism, mediocrity, insecurity, hunger, and many more. While we work to improve the country, we should not open the door to additional problems. Sodomy does not promote any land; it incurs the wrath of God. The nations that promote sodomy are gradually declining.
As people of faith, we affirm that “righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Sodomy is sin against God and humanity. Today, as watchmen, we stand to publicly confess, repent of, and renounce the sin of sodomy in Nigeria. We condemn LGBTQ in all its ramifications, as well as its sponsors in the country.
What to Do
We call on governments to strengthen the legislation against sodomy. Anyone who publicly supports the practice should be arrested and prosecuted. This is imperative, as some sodomites sneakily deploy the media to distort narratives and make the crime look like “freedom of choice.” That perversion and trespass of the law can be no less ‘freedom of choice’ than drug trafficking or armed robbery. No one should undermine the law, on social media or in the mainstream media.
The law should be expanded to empower Nigerians to report, arrest and prosecute anyone who promotes homosexuality in the country. There should be greater advocacy in the media, targeted at our impressionable youths, especially in schools. Most of the promoters of this defilement come across as ‘successful celebrities,’ so it is our responsibility to protect our children.
The Japa Curse
Nigerians must be sensitised to the evil that sodomy portends. God warns in Leviticus 18 that sexual perversion pollutes the land, forcing it to “vomit” its inhabitants. Before our eyes, Nigerians are leaving the country in droves. As captured by the “japa syndrome,” multitudes are leaving through the airports and land borders; many more are trekking through the unpredictable desert, to say nothing of the uncountable numbers leaving through the mass graves that dot our landscape. Is the land already vomiting its inhabitants?
God warned that when the polluted land vomits its inhabitants, a new race will take it over. In the past few years, various land grabbing terrorist groups have begun to play that role: Boko Haram, Fulani ‘herdsmen’ militia, Al Qaeda, ISWAP, bandits, and lately, Lakurawa. Is the consequence of sodomy starring Nigeria in the face? That is an existential threat.
Conclusion
Nigerians must begin to call out those who perpetuate the pollution. They should not be given leadership positions in the land, because when leaders are involved in such grievous sins, the consequences fall upon the entire country. Politicians that engage in homosexuality should be called out as pollutants of the land.
We call on Nigeria Christians, locally and internationally, to mark Sunday 15th December 2024 as a day of “National Confession and Repentance from Sodomy”. We urge Christians to fast and pray on that day, for God’s forgiveness and deliverance from sodomy and all manner of sexual perversions in the land. We appeal to the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, and all other church leaders in the country, to call on all churches to pray during the worship service on Sunday 15th December 2024, renouncing sodomy and sexual perversion in Nigeria.
We also call on the Ministry of Education to ensure that compromising materials are removed from the curriculum of schools while there should be greater monitoring of school dormitories. There is an urgent need to protect our children from exposure to the damaging influence of LGBTQ.
The National Film and Video Censors Board should ensure greater policing of entertainment materials in the country. A common practice of LGBTQ sponsors is to use the film industry to distort the perception of people. As a country, we must stand as one to resist this abomination, offensive as it is to our cultural and moral values.
The National Assembly should strengthen legislation against sodomy and sexual perversion in the land by including cross-dressing in the 14-year jail term. In addition, the production of any material, be it film, video, or publication, that promotes LGBTQ should be included for prosecution under the same law.
The activities of NGO’s and other not-for-profit organizations should be closely monitored. It is not everything practised in USA and Europe that we should be adopted in Africa. Our cultural and religious values should be the lenses through which we view our environment and filter out what is abominable to us. Legislation should be put in place to give Nigerians the power to sue foreign NGO’s that bring deplorable projects into the country. We should not present Nigeria as a country without gates and walls. We must strengthen the moral boundaries in the country.
Finally, we appeal to parents to apply the critical education for children that we call “home training.” While schools impart knowledge and skills, parents must be diligent to instil core values. Children brought up in the fear of God are well-disposed to resist moral defilement.
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen of the press, we thank you for your attention.
God bless Nigeria.
