We are following Distinguished and have reached out to your brother. He will let us know when you are back at Egbeda so we can speak to the head of the kidnap gang. This is definitely not policing. #ReformPoliceNG @PoliceNG_PCRRU @PoliceNG
Taken the facts of the case into consideration, there was a report of a boisterous Gay Party in Egbeda Area. As you know Police are meant to uphold and enforce the law. The party was raided and the suspects undergoing processing under the directive of the CP.
Our Lawyer from @citizen_gavel is on ground. We have spoken with the Area Commander and contacted the CP. The complainant in the tweet didn’t know he attended a GayParadeEvent until moments ago. He is straight with a Girl friend to back his claim & void of suspicious mannerism.
The Law of the land is what it is & the Police have to enforce it. We won’t let anyone’s rights to be abused and at the same time won’t obstruct officers from doing what is necessary. Citizens must be wary that Nigeria is not yet U.S. where this kind of culture is allowed.
We have reports that this community are now harassing police officers, soliciting for flings and resorting to blackmail when reprimanded. In as much as we all know the law, it’ll be safe for us to abide by it. Whatever it is U believe is right for U must not be forced on others.
In as much as I believe we all have rights as humans and citizens, our preferences on other matters that conflict with the current law of the land should be treated cautiously. If you need to push for a legislation do so but don’t approach this sentimentally with law enforcers.
Those who will choose to begin an unconscionable tirade based on this clarification that is void of prejudice will be blocked instantly. We come to the aid of citizens regardless of what they ate for breakfast or what or who they choose to worship. Avoid the drama here.
There is no such thing as permitted by law as LGBT community in Nigeria. If it exists illegally, you people have a lot of work to do in getting the appropriate legislation to make it legit. Until then please be on the right side of history and obey the laws of the land.
We will be hypocrites if we fight against Police acting outside the law of the land and encourage other sects & groups operate outside the law and culture of Nigeria thus making policing difficult. Let us be sensitive and lawful. No one will violate ur civic rights under the law.
As per the Tweep, he will have to be processed by the officers, who will ensure they get the necessary representation. He was invited, he consented and was at the scene before the raid. His claim of not knowing what the gathering is about is subject to inquiry. The law is clear.
I may not know the secret of success but for certain the secret to failure is trying to please everyone. This handle wasn’t designed to tell you what you want to hear neither was it designed to please anyone. Many people has been losing their minds based on this thread.
It seemed to be a sensitive issue for most who are working on equality. The pedophiles too will soon want to be legalized and demand that we show them a part of the law that forbids sleeping with a child. The age of consent will soon be reduced to 12 if not lower at this rate.
For your information, my purpose wasn’t to champion any other cause other than the one that matters to all concerned. I however did not disclose what actually happened in the material case asides from the party as reported.
So don’t just stop there and place a judgement. It is far more complicated than that. If your Cause is in this region, my transparency/objectivity is not out to undo your work. I strive to gain nothing. I’m not appealing to anyone. I need no validation for what I do.
The police responded to a disturbing Call and acted on it. The material fact of what that is can be gleaned from their report. I won’t open that up here beyond the fact that people were picked at a party deemed to be queer based on the report. Period.
This was what influenced my admonition that we all must Thread carefully especially with issues of law. Police sometimes harass the innocent, so you can imagine the fate of one seen to have contravened the law. Which brings me to the position of the LGBT and our law.
There are 3 major laws to consider; the first is the SSMPA (Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act 2014 ) lawnigeria.com/LawsoftheFeder… which forbids marriage between folks of same sex, display of amorous affection & registration of Gay clubs & societies.
So it is correct to say from the legal purview that there is such thing as an LGBT society duly recognized and registered by law in Nigeria. If it exists it is illegal. I maintain they can push for this legislation instead of forcing it emotionally.
It is even criminal to witness same sex marriage or officiate this marriages between people of same sex. Some may argue that the law was not explicit on criminalizing being gay, lesbian etc that is left for the court’s interpretation.
Those who wants to prove that Gay Parties is Legal while Gay Clubs are not when such community and society have been criminalized from being instituted are for ever welcome to argue that case in any court to set the precedence. The event above wasn’t just about the party.
However, it is not in the place of any police officer to arbitrarily deem anyone gay by dressing, nuances or what have you. Citizens must not be harassed based on unfounded allegations except in cases where an actual crime has been committed with evidence to show.
The cases I glossed over are far deeper than they seem. Anyone who needs further clarification can DM. Those involved in illicit activities of hunting men in uniforms have admitted to the charge with evidences kept in record. Some even vowed to commit suicide if revealed.
We also have the Criminal Code and Penal Code which criminalize “Unnatural Sex” read more for interpretation. Some things are commonsensical. Laws reflect society and factor in culture in some cases. This is Nigeria. Not San Francisco.

Thanks @DemolaRewaju for your atticism & clarity on political cum historical facts. Let me clear the air on my position. First, I didn’t strategize for the PDP & have never met the leadership of the party in any regard. I strategized for the future of Nigeria with the President.
It has neither ethno religious coloration nor political partisanship. All I told him before the election came to pass and all we deliberated on happened just as forecasted. He became a winner despite the loss of the election because he meant well for all & value good counsel.
After election I did gave free advices on how the PDP could build back the party in order to avoid having a unitary party system (an advocacy that brought about the creation of the APC Merger- of which I was involved in its strategic birth, when PDP became complacent).

As wonderful as this idea is, it won’t win the election. The battle ground geopolitical zone is not SS or SE but the SW. If @Atiku can pick a formidable influential youth from the SW (Male/Female) it will make the difference. NOI can always serve in the Admin with impact.
Also, he may need to allow the record reflect that he is only running this time to deliver Nigeria from the current darkness that envelopes her by deploying his resources and political structures to that effect as a legacy and would not seek a second term.
This way, the platitude of a promise by the leadership of the APC, void of integrity, on 2023 Presidential zoning to the SW will be neutralized and reinvigorated by a promise they can take to the bank and act upon should there be a breach.

When it comes to Money, Virtue is often defenestrated (virtually thrown out the window). The forth coming election would either be Won, Bought or Stolen. With the position of @inecnigeria in collusion with those bent on rigging the election with fictitious figures, this is clear.
90% (if not all) of the elections conducted under this “Regime” has been fraught with electoral fraud thus when opposition wins election it is declared inconclusive and rigged via an unconscionable re-run designed to disenfranchise the people. So a Win is out of the question.
Better phrased, a Win may not be enough under this Regime if you are not in Tahir favored books. The Wife of the president even raised an alarm over injustices within the President’s party let alone the wrath reserved for the opposition just to retain power by force.

Vengeance is a lazy form of Grief. ⛱
The simplest of tweets can be far more complicated than threads. This one right here can be a book yet barely scratch the surface of the expression. I’m simply saying, don’t confuse Vengeance with Justice the same way Anger must not be confused with Strength. ⛱
There are many people out there broken into pieces and seeking those that are whole to break just to get even with life. We must understand that sadness sometimes carry a whole lot of weight that often times attempt to stop you from breathing.

Your attitude and character is everything. If you can’t contain your hate and prejudices simply because of a tweet you read, then nothing else matters. You will always find anything you seek. If you want to be offended even a harmless emoji will set you ablaze. Watch it.
I really don’t know the motive of deploying hate towards people who see things differently. Changing a mind is different from having an argument. Persuasion takes patience, skill and insight, not force. You can’t insult me into supporting your sentiments. 🤔
You must never forget the next line of action when people undermine you. When they think they can walk over your Heart with their dirty feet, when they take your softness for weakness.

I’m sore disappointed in the development coming from @OfficialAPCNg primaries in Bauchi. Where @alouibrahim92 was rigged out despite the people’s support in huge numbers. Thugs were deployed and voters were harassed. Result sheets falsified in collusion with party officials. 😞
This is how APC is losing their great potentials. All those I knew from back in the days of great sacrifices for fo CPC/APC have been frustrated out of the party. The few that managed to keep the faith are now being disincentivized. Where’s their automatic ticket despite loyalty?
Is this what @MBuhari will be remembered for? All your loyal men/women ruined because of self centered party politics that ostracizes and impoverishes the people. Is the APC reserved for families and friends now? 2019 will be very interesting. This is really pathetic. @abellodam
