NIGERIA and the United States (U.S.) may be heading for a significant diplomatic confrontation regarding the issue of homosegxwality and Lesbianism, which the Nigerian Senate recently criminalised in line with the country’s primordial values, beliefs and Nigerians’ deep-rooted resentment of unorthodox segxwal practices.

Both President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, have taken critical steps to serve notice to countries like Nigeria where homosegxwality is a crime, indicating the readiness of the U.S. government to diplomatically fight such countries on the matter, as a human rights issue.

One immediate area that this fight may emerge is in a new U.S. global funding from which Nigerian civil society groups could benefit. U.S. government sources said yesterday that in countries like Nigeria where homosegxwality has become a crime eventually, the U.S. would fund civil society groups to defend the “rights” of the homosegxwals.

Meanwhile, the Catholic Bishop Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has lauded the Nigerian Senate on its decision to criminalise same sex marriage in the country.

Nigeria has everything to be among the best in the whole world but corruption and selfishness has made us perpetual beggers just look at GLOBAL FUNDING from which benefits. no western country interfers in the affairs of others, except in the 3rd world. These people should leave us alone in God's name. Are we perpetual slaves to the westerners?

Honestly, one thing I really hate about the United States is that they are too fond of poking their noses into the affairs of other countries. When countries really need their help to stop crises such as hunger, poverty, genocide, all of a sudden they are nowhere to be found. They really cannot even, and they better not even try to run another country other than their own. And by all indications, they have enough problems of their own to be even worried about what is happening in Nigeria.
