For the first time in Nigeria, men who openly declared themselves as homosegxwals gathered penultimate weekend at a church in Ojudu, a Lagos suburb. Under the auspices of a yet-to-be registered church - House of Rainbow Metropolitan Community Church - the men held a seminar and night vigil. The heavily guarded event paraded men who wore necklaces, rings, conducted themselves and spoke softly like women. Ironically, the homosegxwals held the fiesta in the hall of United Bible University, Yakoyo Road, Ojudu, Lagos. The venue also serves as a place of worship for Christian Pentecostal Mission (CPM). The event, Sunday Sun learnt, was championed by a lawyer and Theologian, Rev. Roland Babajide Macaulay. On the days of the event, a retinue of mean – looking, ill-tempered security men barred our reporter from entering the venue and meeting the men.

That's good for them, atleast they're fighting for their rights and getting what they want when everyone else seems to be disgusted and dislike them. Gay or not; they're still humans and must be respected regardless of their lifestyles. I am happy for them and hopefully, people will start getting used to the fact that they exist and should accept it.

The last time I checked Homosegxwality is illegal in Nigeria but thats not to say that adult shouldn't have the right to chose how they live their lives. I'm for pro-choice.

Well i think this is a test on Nigeria law because i can remember that before Baba Iyabo left office as Mr. President a law was passed to deal with whom ever that may attempt to pratice as congregation, I will only call on National Assembly to check if the bill is still in force and apply it the venue is now established, but it will be difficult as many Nigeria will surprised that members are more than what dailies published and even the names that not yet open will shake the ground when more fact comes up. Finally is one of the sign ahead of is arrive but i pray that it will not better for the cities of Soddom and Gomorrah. if you are a member turn back before the Bridegroom arrive"JESUS".
