JONATHAN TELLS NIGERIA TO RE-VISIT GAY RIGHTS LAW.

Speaking at the bloomberg studio in London, former
president Goodluck Jonathan has advised that Nigeria could only
progress if she embraces peace,freedom and unity as its core values.
According to him it was necessary for the senate to pass a 'Bill of
Rights' to ensure these values are entrenched into the society.
According to him, such a law would end tribalism and
discrimination. He suggested that Nigeria should adapt the bill of
rights introduced by America's founding fathers to ensure the freedom
of every individual and the press. Protecting the rights of every
tom,dick and harry regardless of the status or class.
Throwing a reminder to a time in his tenure when the
international community disagreed with Nigeria over a bill passed
against the freedom of a part of the population. Referring to the bill
against guy rights. He said that not only was 98 percent of the
population against the idea of gay rights, majority of the house
members were just against some sexual relations some termed against
human existence. He added that he was under pressure to obey the rule
of law and public opinion.
He ended the speech by strongly emphasising his 'Nigerianess' by
saying- "I am Nigerian".
