CHAPTER 3:
TRANSGENDERISM AND TRANSSPECIESM
Transgenderism and
Transspeciesm are direct “in-your-face” efforts of Satan to first, psycho-socially
confuse genders, and thereafter, biologically corrupt the human DNA on planet
earth. All with the ultimate intention
of stopping the announced second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and thereby
frustrate God’s eternal counsel for Man and our beautiful planet. Transgenderism promotes the idea of people
shifting from one gender to another, while Transspeciesm encourages them to
swap their humanity and change to other species. The umbrella body for people
vigorously pushing these ideas in the world today is the “Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer, Plus” (LGBTQ+) movement.
A Brief Walk
through the LGBTQ+ Labyrinth
The almighty God
warned that the genders, male and female, must be kept clearly
distinguishable. The statute against
cross-dressing in the Old Testament is primarily to keep this distinction stark
clear in every community.
“The woman shall
not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's
garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”
Deut. 22:5
This is clearly a
society-specific statute since, traditionally, garments styles are unique to
each society. In other words, it is not
likely that the almighty God intends to proscribe Zulu men in South Africa from
putting on garments associated with women in Yorubaland in Nigeria. The main point is that, in every community, a
male must be clearly and distinctly identified by his dress without any chance
of being confused for a female at all; and vice-versa.
Transvestism (cross
dressing) requires people to specifically dress up in garments associated with
the opposite gender in a given society, with clear intention of their being
confused as belonging to the wrong gender. Of course, transvestism is just the seemingly
innocuous entry point into the world of Satan’s “New Sexuality”. Challenging a cast-iron gender identity for
people, it provides direct fuel for homosexuality as it reconditions the erotic
portion of the human mind with the distorted images it repeatedly presents. Finally,
it leads to the ultimate destination of transgenderism and transspeciesm. All
these have been demonstrated before our very eyes within one generation.
Though called “new
sexuality”, there is really nothing new about these debaucheries. They have been practiced over the ages in
several societies and cultures, but it is only in this generation that they are
becoming mainstreamed, no longer ideas practiced shamefully in the
fringes. For instance, the word for one
of the male homosexual practices, sodomy, is derived from the doomed city of
Sodom, where that practice was rife in the ancient days. Likewise, some of the demons conferred with
deity status in many cultures (so called gods and goddesses), are described as
androgynous combining both male and female sex traits. An example of these being Hermes of the
Greeks, from whom the word “hermaphrodite” probably originated. Today, the new sexuality disciples would want
this to be an accepted norm among humans as a sign of our evolution into higher
beings.
The “new
sexuality” is starkly contrary to nature. The Bible makes it clear that God
created mankind in two distinct genders, from the very beginning:
“So God created
man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them”. Gen. 1:27
“But from the beginning of the creation God made them
male and female”. Mark 10:6
In today’s post-modern world, sex and gender are now
taken to convey different ideas, and are no longer considered synonymous. In fact, the world currently recognizes an
additional 72 genders, together with the two specified in the Bible.1 As we shall be discussing later in the
chapter, the evolved distinction between “gender” and “sex” is at the root of
the ongoing furore in Nigeria on the “Samoa Agreement.”
The foundation
(and bait) of the new sexuality is promotion of unrestrained, promiscuous, and
consequence-free sex, together with the elevation of sexual pleasure to the
level of a fundamental human right.
Beginning with the supposed right (indeed “need”) of children and babies
to develop their sexuality as early as possible, the doctrine cascades to
promoting consensual same-sex intercourses with different categories of humans,
and eventually with animals and spirits. At the extreme end of the spectrum, the
new sexuality makes case to justify rape, which is considered natural for
animals, and might be excusable in humans.
All these elements have the same ultimate goal -- breaking the natural
barriers in place to prevent the indiscriminate mixing of human genetic
materials, which occurs during copulation. Such infractions used to be serious
crimes against humanity, attracting capital punishment in most human societies
- until the past few decades.
Probably the
arrowhead for introducing and promoting the new sexuality into modern society
is the organization called Sex Information and Education Council of the United
States (SIECUS). In a 1980 speech to
the Association of Planned Parenthood Physicians, Mary Calderone explained the
primary purpose of the organization she had founded in 1964:
“Providing today‘s society with a very deep awareness
of the vital importance of infant and childhood sexuality is now the primary
goal of SIECUS,” she announced2.
This goal, of
course, requires that some people, invariably adults, would have to help babies
and infants discover this their sexuality.
At a discussion session later on, Dr Calderone lent her weight to
pedophilia (the occultic act of adults sexualizing infants and young children),
when she reasoned3:
“What do we know about situation in
which young children and older people, stronger people, had had a sexual
relationship of one kind or another that has been pleasant, and the child feels
good about it because it‘s warm and seductive and tender?”
Wardell Pomeroy of
Planned Parenthood stretched the logic a little further declaring that4
"... incest between adults and younger children can also prove to be a
satisfying and enriching experience. Incestuous relationships can -- and do --
work out well.” [Incest is referring to
sexual relationship among blood relatives, as within a family].
With all the
“intellectual” foundations well laid-out, it was not long that organizations
like NAMBLA – North America Man-Boy Love Association came out seeking public
acceptance. As the name indicates, the
Association seeks to promote homosexual intercourses between grown up men and
young boys. Today, pressures are on, demanding the formal recognition of
Minor-Attracted People (MAPs) as part of the now widely prevalent LGBTQ+
movement.
The ground for
promotion of sex with animals was cleared with the publication of books like
the previously cited Boys and Sex. On
pages 171 & 172 of this standard book used in the public school systems in
the United States, the author frankly defended bestiality: "I have known
cases of farm boys who have had a loving sexual relationship with an animal and
who felt good about their behavior until they got to college, where they
learned for the first time that what they had done was 'abnormal.' Then they
were upset”.
All these
developments started decades ago. Today,
people are not only having drug-laced intercourses with animals, they are now
openly marrying their dogs. The final
step is they “identifying” as animals themselves, in which case such
“marriages” (now between two of the same kind), become “no big deal”! And with “Marriage” itself in a titanic
struggle to survive all these satanist attacks, “old-fashioned” vices such as
flirting, pornography, adultery, and fornication have virtually lost their
meaning to a large segment of modern society!
All these “new
sexuality” acts are practices known as far back as from the days of Moses, and
are explicitly proscribed by God:
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman.
It is an abomination. Nor shall you mate
with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before
an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. Do
not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations
are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the
land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it,
and the land vomits out its inhabitants.” Lev. 18:22-25
As prescribed in
the 10-point agenda given by Alice Bailey (discussed in the previous Chapter),
with the liberalization of sex comes the need to make abortion widely
acceptable and the services available. The landmark Roe vs Wade judgement was
pronounced by the supreme court in the United States in 1973 liberalizing
abortion, beyond the traditionally accepted medically indicated cases – usually
to save the life of the mother. It was
in place till recently overthrown on June 24, 2022, during which period it had directly
claimed the life of some sixty-three million American children while they were still
in the womb5. Strenuous
efforts were expended to sell the same values worldwide. It is an open secret that, until very recent
times, American aids to developing countries are strongly tied to their
adopting liberal positions on LGBTQ and so-called Diversity and Equity Issues
(DEI).
In Canada and several liberal states in the United
States, abortion is legal up till full term of the pregnancy. In 2011, Church
Arise! followed the story of one doctor in the US who reasoned that the risk to
the mother, of aborting such a pregnancy is rather high. So, he arranged that
the mother exercised patience and birthed the baby who is met during the
delivery with a snap of the scissors to his nape. Then the mutilation and
disposal could be neatly (and “safely”) accomplished outside the womb, even by
non-medics. After repeating this procedure a few hundred times over the years,
Dr Gosnell got reported and eventually landed in jail. He however insisted he had done no wrong, and
that his traducers were simply being hypocritical!6.
It is important to
understand that LGBTQ+ people are not just asking for the liberty to practice
their lifestyles without harassments, they are insisting that the rest of
society must accept these lifestyles and underlying values as normal and
natural. In other words, they want our
mind transformed according to the mould they present. Anything short of unconditional acceptance is
termed homophobic, which translates to “hatred” of and “intolerance” towards
people who have simply chosen an alternative lifestyle.
Usually, the
primary condition demanded to assure that a society does not get labelled as
homophobic, is that they grant the LGBTQ+ movement unrestricted and
unsupervised access to the children and youth in that society, thus
facilitating their recruitment into these fringe lifestyles. Also, subtly demanded is that no critical
reports must be entertained against the movement – even if brought up from
former members who are trying to share verifiable unsavoury experiences in
order to caution others from falling into this satanic cauldron.
These conditions
are largely acceded to in most western countries today, and desperate efforts
are ongoing to force them down our throats in Africa. In which case Nigeria is prime target.
In 1973, the American Psychiatrist Association was
pressured to revise its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-II) which had up till that time, listed homosexuality as a mental
disorder. Though there is an abundance
of groups today comprised of people who had successfully abandoned the
homosexual lifestyle, the official position in the medical world is that
homosexuals are simply “born that way”, and that the lifestyle is permanent and
irreversible.
The reality however, is that at any given point in
time, there are by far many more ex-homosexuals than practicing homosexuals in
the world. It is only that while current LGBTQ+s are respectfully engaged in
society, the various associations of these ex-LGBTQs, are allowed to operate only
at the sidelines. For instance, while
gay representations are flaunted within all UN Agencies and several Human
Rights NGOs, it is literally a taboo for ex-LGBTQs to be so-accommodated.
Nevertheless, these ex-LGBTQs continue to struggle with their existence in the
fringes, as they try to rescue those trapped, or counsel those contemplating
participation in LGBTQ lifestyles. The Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and
Scientific Integrity formed in 1992 is one such organization. The mission is described on its website7:
“You know, there is some
pretty bad information and some fairly common misconceptions kicking around out
there in the public square. The born that way myth and the "change is
impossible" propaganda are just two common examples. Sadly, these and
other unscientific concepts discourage individuals from seeking counseling help
and fuel legislative and legal efforts that seek to limit the right of
individuals and families to work with a therapist that will honor the values
they hold dear.
“The Alliance and our
member Partners are working to get accurate information about sexual
self-determination and homosexual attractions into colleges, universities,
public discussions, online forums, and reported in the popular media. We firmly
believe that if people have access to accurate information they can make
informed decisions.
Another inspiring example is the Transgender Regret,
founded by Walt Hyer (https://waltheyer.com/). Hyer had undergone gender reassignment
surgery and lived as a woman for eight years before detransitioning. He now
advocates for the view that many transgender people experience regret
after transitioning, citing the need for psychiatric or psychological help
rather than medical interventions.
Hyer revealed that he founded Transgender Regret out
of sheer curiosity. He wanted to know if
he was alone in regretting his transitioning, and started the website
sexchangeregret.com. He was surprised to
see over 350,000 people checking the site to identify with him in 12 months!
Yet the official position in the world today is that
transgenderism is such a great development for mankind; and the thoughts of
detransitioning (transgenders changing their mind) is considered horrific. The vast majority of people undergoing gender
reassessment surgery are children, and the surgery can be done without parental
consent. Indeed, opposition of parents,
however mildly expressed, is sufficient condition for the State to take away
the child for “proper medical treatment” under the custody of “more
understanding” foster parents!
Again, the reality experienced by transgenders is
different from that portrayed in mainstream media. Dr Miroslav Djordjevic, an acclaimed gender
reassignment surgeon at the Bath Spa University, was intrigued about the steady
flow of patients to his practice seeking to detransition. He consequently decided to apply for a
research grant from his university to properly study the phenomenon. After the initial concept had been approved,
the application was eventually turned down by the Ethics council upon seeing
the alarming figure quoted by Dr Djordjevic in the research proposal of people
seeking detransitioning. The subject was
consequently deemed “potentially politically incorrect”, and likely to pitch
their university against the powerful pushers of the new sexuality. Surprisingly, the story was well covered by
mainstream media, The Telegraph8, for instance reported Dr
Djordjevic comments, that those seeking to detransition had spoken to him
“about crippling levels of depression following their transition and in some
cases even contemplated suicide”. The
story is also covered by the National Post9
On its website, The Alliance for Therapeutic Choice
and Scientific Integrity confirms that “there are significant psychological,
medical and societal risks associated with attempts to alter someone's biological
sex through hormone therapy or sexual reassignment surgery”10. It further avers that “there is substantial
scientific evidence that transition interventions place children and teens at
great risk and that there are insufficient, research based indications of
benefit to the child to justify these developmentally premature procedures.”11
The official scientific authorities in the world
however continue to play blind and deaf to all these developments. At the present time, the WHO has appointed a
20- man committee, comprised of transgenders and representatives of the
pharmaceutical companies, to develop, standardized guidelines for the gender
transitioning process. Ignacio Arsuaga of
CitizenGo, lamented the exclusion of detransitioned people or their
representatives on that WHO Panel. The
group also gave a rather disturbing report of the meeting of this Panel that
held on February 19, 202412:
“In
typical UN style, they are trying to keep this radical push deep under the
radar. …. Moreover, we know the meeting
took place because we were there. Still, there was NO public notice of it, nor
did it appear on the U.N. website listing meetings and conferences (where most
meetings are usually broadcasted).”
“I was inside the WHO
building myself and saw the agenda on screen. Yet, they refuse to share this
with the public.”
Societal Restructuring Impacts
The pressure to force society into accepting and
affirming homosexuality was markedly demonstrated in the United States,
especially during the Obama administration.
At a point in time, numerous private businesses were practically ruined
as they had crippling huge fines imposed on them for running foul of novel
legislations that would tolerate no expression of any reservations whatsoever
towards the LGBTQ lifestyle. Such businesses
included Photographers, Cake designers, Guest Houses, not to mention Churches,
who were deliberately being targeted for patronage by the LGBTQ community in
their vile celebrations. Many of these
are well documented in Chapter 13 of Behold I come Quickly, II. Several other
cases were personal animosities between private entities. Such as Social Works students being required,
as part of their regular classwork, to write letters to the state legislature
to express support for homosexual adoption; or a bank in the UK, requesting
LGBTQ-critical Organizations to move their accounts out of their bank.
The pathetic example of the gradual take-over of the
Boys Scout America (BSA) by LGBTQ+ ideologues is instructive. Up till 2013,
openly gay individuals (both youth members and adult leaders) were banned from
participating in BSA programmes at any level.
That changed in 2013 when the ban on gay youth members was removed. By 2017, transgender boys (that is girls who
have undergone surgery to acquire the physical stature of boys), could now be
boy scouts; and today all eligible youths, even those who only “identify” as
boys without necessarily undergoing any “gender re-assigning surgery” are
welcome to be Boy Scouts.13 This story parallels similar
developments within the US military itself.
These systematic
LGBTQ+ incursions are leading to fundamental restructuring of societies. Some
of them could be mildly comical, as in the situation with the occultic Masons
and Lodges whose memberships are traditionally restricted to the male
sex/gender. Not only did transgender men
start challenging their exclusion from membership of these groups, even those
who only “identify” as male also demanded the right to belong. To further complicate the situation, some of
the new 72 genders (which must be respected in a “non-homophobic” society)
allow people to switch their genders according to the environment, or their
moods, and so on. In fact, bi-genders (a
recognized category of gender), could officially claim to hold two different
genders concurrently! By 2018, just as
in the Boys Scout movement in the US, most of the various Masons in the western
world had started revising their traditions, embracing both transgender men
(originally born as female) and transgender women who had joined their
association while they were biological male.
The situation is
not as hilarious when translated to other sectors of society. Such as in healthcare where Obstetricians and
Gynaecologists are required to treat transgender women (people who obviously
have no wombs) as they would treat natural women who present with conditions
requiring their services – including womb-related issues. That could be
psychologically traumatic for the physician!
The incursion of
this principle into sports sometimes goes beyond being ridiculous to becoming
life- threatening. At the recently
concluded 2024 Olympics, Angela Carini, of Italy had to quit her fight with
Algerian Imane Khelif after only 46 seconds into the fight, claiming she was
being hit (only twice actually) by a man and not a fellow woman. Khelif who went on to win the gold medal at
the competition insisted she is female.
Her coach, Georges Cazorla, however reportedly admitted that “tests
identified 'a problem with hormones' and 'with chromosomes'”, suggesting that
she –[Khelif] may have the XY gender chromosomes typical of a man”.14 Many commentators wondered how humanity could
have descended to the barbarous level of cheering a person with XY chromosome
and masculine physique pummel a lady in the boxing ring, all in the name of
sports and political correctness.
Curiously, this incursion of trans people in sports seems to be a
one-directional phenomenon, as there does not appear to be many transgenders
desperate to participate in male sporting events.
It
is particularly tragic that several advocates of the “transhumanism” extreme
leftist cult are medical and psychological professionals. A psychologist at
Boston Children’s Hospital publicly declared that children in the womb know
they are transgender, while another psychologist at New York University Langone
Health claimed that babies can even masturbate in utero. 15
At a stage, the professional association of paediatricians
in the United States considered it necessary to weigh in with a public and
official stance, to counter the pressure increasingly being mounted on them to
agree that boys can be turned to girls and vice versa. Play around with gender as you might please,
they concede, but biological sex is sacrosanct and invariant16:
“In the midst of
society’s questioning of the gender binary, the American College of
Pediatricians (ACPeds) is concerned that the field of medicine risks denying
the reality of biological sex. Sex is a dimorphic, innate trait defined in
relation to an organism’s biological role in reproduction. In humans, primary
sex determination occurs at fertilization and is directed by a complement of
sex determining genes on the X and Y chromosomes. This genetic signature is
present in every nucleated somatic cell and is not altered by drugs or surgical
interventions. Sex differences arise from at least four different genetic
mechanisms, in addition to the actions of sex hormones and environmental
influences. Consideration of these innate differences is critical to the
practice of good medicine and to the development of sound public policy for
children and adults alike.”
The College went on to clarify that in the current
scientific use, “Sex and gender are not synonyms”, that Disorders of sex
development (DSD) are disorders, and NOT additional sexes, and finally that
“Genetics is the primary driver of sex differences”
Discerning the
Core Agenda
So why is all this
new sexuality madness being foisted on society?
The answer is not difficult to discern, if we keep in mind the agenda
for the end-times as discussed in the previous chapter. LGBTQ’s new sexuality
addresses squarely and directly the first six points in Alice Bailey’s 10-point
chart.
First, is to set
loose the sex genie in people so they could begin to crave unrestrained
sex. There are few stronger leashes that
can be used to put people under absolute control than get them addicted, and
craving for unrestrained sexual expression.
At the very least, manipulated sexuality is the major tool for
recruitment into various dangerous terrains including cultism, prostitution,
money rituals, gangsterism, terrorism.
The list is endless.
It should be
emphasized that once the restraints imposed by God’s word and societal mores
are discarded, ANYONE can descend to any level of sexual debauchery, overnight.
Once the genie is out of the bottle, everything runs downhill in an
avalanche. As many people have found out
rather too late, playing with the new sexuality, is literally playing with
fire. The new sexuality, which could now
be legitimately prescribed by “professional” counsellors and sex therapists,
goads people along this dangerous path, and today, there is little outrage
recommending oral sex, soft porn, and the likes, even within religious homes.
That is the spark needed to start the conflagration!
Another reason why satanists are desperate to foist
this unprofitable new sexuality on society is its catastrophic impact on the
marriage institution and family structure.
The family unit is the basic pillar holding any society, and since the
individuals who have been rendered captive as previously described are members
of some families, the catastrophic impact on the general society is guaranteed.
It is difficult to imagine the dazzling speed with which a society can descend
into chaos when people are caught in the web of unrestrained promiscuous sex.
Everything is simultaneously impacted – health, social harmony, and the
economy.
Jeff Jacoby, as cited in Behold I Come Quickly, Book II.
has this insightful comment:
“The crusade for same-sex
marriage has never been aimed merely at adjusting the familiar boundaries of
married life to make it more inclusive. The real target is the significance of
marriage itself — the idea, fundamental to human happiness and all successful
societies, that the purpose of marriage is to bring men and women together for
their mutual welfare and for the protection and well-being of any children they
create or adopt. It is that deeply ingrained belief that the marriage radicals
are determined to do away with. (Behold I Come Quickly, Book II, pg 353-354).
The ultimate
intention of Satan in promoting the new sexuality, however, would be to
facilitate easy and extensive demon-cohabitation with humans. There have been
instances of people hooked into the LGBTQ lifestyle reporting that they see
some apparitions literally stepping into them, whereupon they start to crave
for unnatural sexual experiences.
Deliverance in those cases, entails casting out the demons, whereafter
the victim is liberated and relieved of LGBTQ desires.
The Bible clearly teaches
that sexual intercourse leads to fundamental fusion of two entities:
“What? know ye
not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall
be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit”. 1
Cor. 6:16-17
The sexual
experiences promoted by the “new sexuality” seem directed at efforts to reenact
Genesis 6:1-4 where so-called sons of God started copulating with humans,
resulting in the birth of Nephilims.
These experiences seemingly directed at getting humans to achieve orgasm
in sexual interactions with demons, are now facilitated through various
means.
Traditionally,
sexual intercourse with demons occurs mostly through dreams and visions, where
appropriate visual images are conjured and used to provoke the desired sexual
response in the victim. Today, that
could now be facilitated by the plethora of alluring humanoid “sex and
companion” robots being dished out from the emerging AI-driven
sex-industry. A small step further away,
the soul-less erotic model is dispensed with altogether, and people are
encouraged to have their orgasm in sexual intercourses with inanimate objects
which ordinarily should not have any sexual appeal. Termed ecosexuality, the idea is that as
people erotically hug and intertwine with trees, rocks, water bodies and the
like, they could have direct sexual intercourse with “nature”, which we claim
here to be mere euphemism for demons.
Promoters of this lifestyle describe feeling “the erotic energy” moving
through them, as they engage in activities such as “bathing naked”, “having sex
with vegetables or having an orgasm in a waterfall.”
Same concept, in
less fanciful packaging, is expressed as part of initiation rites into manhood
elsewhere. In these demon-dominated
cultures, young men are required to attain orgasm and directly release their
semen into holes dug in the ground as they literally have sexual intercourse
with “mother earth”! Video recordings of
such sickening engagements with unseen demons have been posted online on the
social media.17
The Nigerian
Dimension
Church Arise! was
priviledged to be part of the vanguard used by the Holy Spirit to frustrate
this satanic agenda as it desperately sought to make inroad into Nigeria in the
last two decades. As a matter of fact, from
Volume 5 in 2002 for more than a decade, virtually every edition of our then
bi-monthly newsletter (see http://www.churcharise.org/archives/index.htm) continually
exposed and countered the various moves by agents of SIECUS to infiltrate our
country with their new sexuality.
The first
deliberate move to infest Nigeria with the new sexuality can be traced to 1989 with
the NGO Action Health Incorporated (AHI) trying to sell the SIECUS new
sexuality curriculum to naïve government agencies. That history was recounted in Church Arise!
(Vol 7 No 4) as follows:
The Dangerous March of Sexuality Education in Nigeria
It all began in
1989 with one passionate woman.
Nigeria’s Curriculum Changed was the triumphant headline from her
sponsors, Ashoka news, which went on to report that, “Recently, Ashoka Fellow
Nike Esiet and various allies persuaded Nigeria's National Council on Education
to adopt a National Sexuality Education Curriculum. The curriculum will be used
in the upper primary, junior and senior secondary schools as well as in
universities.”
“Nike Essiet,
according to her NGO, Action Health Incorporated (AHI) has “taken on the
mandate to serve as a catalyst for change”. What change? Nigerians must change
their sexuality, which by definition includes “biological, socio-cultural,
psychological, and spiritual dimensions”. Clearly, this is nothing but another
attempt to usher in the so-called New World Order which seeks to replace existing traditional
Judaeo-Christian values with those based on humanism”
The intriguing
developments over the years are catalogued in Chapter 13 (Sexuality and Drugs)
of Behold I come Quickly, Book II. It
was clear that but for the direct intervention of the Lord of Hosts, the
satanic agenda would have overrun our country, and subsequently all of
Africa. That same Lord of Hosts is alive
and well today, and we can be assured that all the (ongoing) efforts of the new
sexuality people in Nigeria will continue to end up frustrated.
A new scene in the
new sexuality drama in Nigeria unfolded in 2006, when a determined and adamant
President Olusegun Obasanjo decided to scale up existing laws against
homosexuality. An incredulous western
world went berserk and vowed that the new Bill will not see the light of
day. And indeed, the Bill failed to pass
at the National Assembly! As recorded on
Wikipedia:
“[The bill] was first placed to the National Assembly by Justice
Minister Bayo Ojo on
January 18, 2006, but it wasn't passed during the first reading. On January 18, 2007 the bill was
approved by the FEC and resent before the National Assembly.,,,,,. As a
result, the bill was not passed by either house before the general election
that year”18
However, at God’s
timing, despite what he repeatedly recalled as “almost unbearable pressure”
from the western world, President Goodluck Jonathan assented to an even more
stringent version of the Bill and signed it to law on January 13, 2014. The
reaction from the western world was swift, unequivocal, and severe. President Jonathan was called all sorts of
names, and openly threatened on his intention to seek re-election in 2015.
[That bid was actually truncated]. The
western world’s reaction is captured by this report from the Guardian19:
Nigeria's President
Goodluck Jonathan signed a bill on Monday that criminalises same-sex
relationships, defying western pressure over gay rights and provoking US
criticism.
The bill, which contains
penalties of up to 14 years in prison and bans gay marriage, same-sex
"amorous relationships" and membership of gay rights groups, was
passed by the national assembly last May but Jonathan had delayed signing it
into law.
Under existing Nigerian
federal law, sodomy is punishable by jail, but this bill legislates for a much
broader crackdown on homosexual people, who live a largely underground
existence.
The US secretary of
state, John Kerry, said Washington was deeply concerned by the new
measures.
"Beyond even
prohibiting same sex marriage, this law dangerously restricts freedom of
assembly ... and expression for all Nigerians," he said in a statement.
"It is inconsistent
with Nigeria's international legal obligations and undermines … democratic
reforms and human rights protections," he said.
While European countries,
most recently France, have moved to offer same-sex couples the legal rights
enjoyed by heterosexuals, many African countries are seeking to tighten laws
against homosexuality.
Britain and some other
western countries have threatened to cut aid to governments that pass laws
persecuting homosexuals, a threat that has helped hold back or scupper such
legislation in aid-dependent nations such as Uganda and Malawi. But they have
little leverage over Nigeria, whose budget is funded by its oil output of 2m
barrels a day.
In its own Editorial opinion, Washington Post went on
to actually offer suggestions as to how President Jonathan could be brought to
his knees on the matter. Below is an
excerpt20:
Nigeria’s anti-gay
law demands a response from the West
By the Editorial
Board February 10,
2014 at 7:56 p.m. EST
Gay sex has been banned
in Nigeria since British colonial times. It is prohibited in 38 of Africa’s 54
countries. But the new Nigerian law, which Mr. Jonathan signed Jan. 7, (sic)
goes further. It mandates a 14-year prison sentence for anyone entering a
same-sex union and a 10-year term for “a person or group of persons who
supports the registration, operation and sustenance of gay clubs, societies,
organizations, processions or meetings. Public displays of affection by gay men
and lesbians are also criminalized….”
“Nigeria, the most
populous country in Africa and a major oil producer, is harder to influence.
But Britain still delivers hundreds of millions of dollars in development aid,
while the United States buys 70 percent of Nigeria’s oil. Both should be
aggressively using their leverage to protect the vulnerable gay community.
As a starting point, they should let Mr. Jonathan know he and his government
will be unwelcome in Washington and London until the law is repealed”.
Later, in 2019, President
Jonathan had cause to reveal that his government came under “almost unbearable
pressure” from the western nations in their efforts to again block the law
against homosexuality in Nigeria. He was
responding in particular to the allegation made by former British Prime
Minister, David Cameron in his memoirs that President Jonathan rejected
Britain’s offer to assist in securing the release of the Chibok girls abducted
by Boko Haram in 2014. While President
Jonathan easily countered, with concrete evidences, that Mr Cameron was lying
through his teeth, the exchange nevertheless threw up the suggestion that the anti-gay
bill and the abduction of the 276 girls three months after its assent by
President Jonathan might not be unconnected.
Putting Cameron’s allegation and the easy refutation by Goodluck
Jonathan side-by-side, it would seem that David Cameron was going to exert some
unofficial influence on Boko Haram to get the girls released if Jonathan would
play ball. This theory is consistent
with the high drama that surrounded the abduction, especially in the first few
days of the event.(see our comments at that time: https://churcharise.blogspot.com/2015/02/chibok-gils-saga-making-political-gains.html). [Later revelations, in February 2025, have since
confirmed that the Boko Haram group was a direct product of USAID funding].
In any case, President Jonathan had no doubt as to why
Prime Minister Cameron was attacking him so relentlessly. Here is some excerpt from the statement
posted on his facebook page on October 5, 2019 21:
“I read the comments by
former British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in his new book, For the Record,
in which he accused me and the Nigerian Government, which I headed, of
corruption and rejecting the help of the British Government in rescuing the
Chibok Girls, who were kidnapped on April 14, 2014…….
“I do, however, know that
Mr. Cameron has long nursed deep grudges against me for reasons that have been
published in various media.
“On July 24, 2013, while celebrating the passage of the United Kingdom’s
Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, 2013, Mr. Cameron said “I want to export gay
marriage around the world”.
“At that occasion, he boasted that he would send the team that successfully
drafted and promoted the Bill, to nations, like Nigeria, saying inter
alia: “I’ve told the Bill team I’m now
going to reassign them because, of course, all over the world people would have been watching this
piece of legislation”.
“As President of Nigeria at that time, I came under almost unbearable pressure
from the Cameron administration to pass legislation supporting LGBTQ Same Sex
marriage in Nigeria. My conscience could not stomach that, because as President
of Nigeria, I swore on the Bible to advance Nigeria’s interests, and not the
interest of the United Kingdom or any foreign power.
“As such, on Monday,
January 13, 2014, I signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill into law
after the Bill had been passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority of
Nigeria’s parliament, in line with the wishes of the Nigerian people. This
happened shortly after a study of 39 nations around the world by the U.S. Pew
Research Center came up with a finding which indicated that 98 percent of
Nigerians were opposed to the idea of Gay Marriage.
“Immediately after I took this patriotic action, my government came under
almost unbearable pressure from Mr. Cameron, who reached me through envoys, and
made subtle and not so subtle threats against me and my government.
“In fact, meetings were held at the Obama White House and at the Portcullis
House in Parliament UK, with the then Nigerian opposition to disparage me,
after I had signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill into law.”
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, Chairman of the Goodluck Jonathan
Foundation and President of Nigeria 2010-2015.
With the official passage
of the law against homosexual advocacy and celebration in Nigeria in 2014, all
the flamboyant NGOs such as Action Health Incorporated (AHI) Lagos, and International
Centre for Sexual Reproductive Rights (INCRESE) Minna, had to go low-key,
although it is obvious that they remain active, luring young undergraduates,
and other vulnerable people into the world of their New Sexuality.
We might observe
here that the first salvos against President Obasanjo’s early effort to enact a
law against homosexuality in 2006 were fired from within Nigeria, using local
disciples of the New Sexuality movement.
A major article condemning and lambasting the effort was published22
on the front page of the national newspaper, the Vanguard (on 29th
January, 2006). The prompt response by Church Arise! to this article was
serially rejected by virtually all the major newspapers in the country, until
the influential Nigeriaworld (based outside Nigeria) agreed to publish it. In that response, after countering the points
raised against the Bill, we cautioned against premature assumption that it
would see the light of day - as it eventually did not! We had written:
“The Christian bi-monthly
newsletter Church Arise, in its current edition documents that over 5 billion
naira (tax-exempted) was sent in to Nigeria for homosexuality advocacy alone,
from just one of several foreign donors alone, in its current funding cycle. ….
That is almost half of what the Federal Ministry of Information and National
Orientation has to carry out all its activities and projects with in the coming
year! … That is why Nigerians must not consider it a fait accompli, that
the proposed bill will come out in time and/or as conceived. We must all
continue to show and express deep interest in this very important issue.”
More importantly
is our discovery in course of writing this book, that the above-referenced
article though still searchable and present on Nigeriaworld’s website (at http://nigeriaworld.com/articles/2006/feb/072.html), is no longer
accessible to the public! It had
actually turned out to be a popular article with over 19,000 reads before being
technically rendered unavailable. (Readers who wish to check the article can
access a copy of it which is posted on our blog at http://churcharise.blogspot.com/2016/01/homosexual-advocacy-in-nigeria-response.html).
The reason this is
being brought up here is to warn that this censoring on Nigeriaworld might be
indicative of what is coming. It could
be a pointer to fresh efforts to bring down the 2014 anti-gay law, as the
western world have repeatedly vowed to do.
All this is relevant in the context of the ongoing furore on the Samoa
Agreement, which is discussed in the next section.
The Samoa
Multilateral EU-OACPS Agreement
The Samoa Agreement23, named after the
South Pacific country where it was signed, is the legal framework for the
European Union’s relations with the Organisation of African, Caribbean and
Pacific States (OACPS). It was signed on
November 15, 2023, initially by 28 EU and 42 OACPS parties/countries. There are
79 OACPS countries in all, comprised of 48 African, 16 Caribbean, and 15
Pacific countries. The Agreement was produced on 19th July 2023 by the European
Union in Brussels, and was set for implementation on 1st January
2024. It is to last an initial 20 years
period.
The news that Nigeria had signed the Samoa Agreement
was first announced by the EU office, immediately it was signed on June 28,
2024 in Geneva. As the news filtered out
on X (formerly Twitter), the Nigerian government three days later also came up
to casually confirm the event24.
This was extremely interesting in the sense that Nigeria had earlier
refused to sign the Agreement, indeed boycotting the meeting where it was
presented, in November, 2023. So, why
this quiet backdoor signing of the same?
Nigeria’s unexplained initial boycott of the Agreement
was clearly due to the animated opposition by Nigerians to its content. The document had been widely reported as
containing several articles designed to subtly promote LGBTQ values in nations
that adopt it. In fact, the international NGO, FamilyValues, did a detailed
analysis of the draft agreement, showing specific adverse consequences for the
family institution, that could follow its adoption in various regions of the
OACPS nations.
A furious EU secretariat had issued an undiplomatic
threat, dated November 24, 2023, warning that every one of the 37 OACPS
countries that failed to sign the Agreement must report to EU office in Brussel
to do so by January 1, 2024 or risk severe economic and diplomatic
consequences.
Naturally therefore, Nigeria’s surreptitious falling
back to sign is largely interpreted as capitulating to the EU threat, and
acceding to the conditions previously considered offensive and unacceptable.
This suggestion was further buttressed when Sonnie
Ekwowusi, chairman of the Human and Constitutional Rights Committee of the
African Bar Association (AfBA), wrote his now famous newspaper article,
condemning the Agreement and demanding it be unsigned. Interestingly, Barrister Ekwowusi had
participated in the original drafting sessions of the document, and later on,
his Committee of the AfBA had counselled Nigeria against signing it. He mentioned “several meetings held with
Nigerian officials and several briefs and memoranda sent to them” which
apparently were eventually ignored by the Nigerian government. In his impassioned article25,
Barr Ekwowusi was clear and explicit as to why he was against the Agreement:
“Certain Articles of the
Agreement especially Articles 2.5 and 29.5 legalize LGBT, transgenderism,
abortion, teen sexual abuse, and perversity in African countries. The signing
of the Agreement by Nigeria constitutes a threat to the sovereignty of Nigeria
and Africa. It further debases our democracy”
Later, Barr Ekwowusi was reported26 to have
said in a live interview on Channels TV that the EU was requested at the
negotiation stages of the Agreement to expunge offensive LGBT stuff from the
Agreement. However, rather than do that,
EU officials went about “bribing different African government officials to sign
the Agreement.”
The reaction of the Nigerian government was
unexpectedly fierce, to put it mildly.
Surprisingly however, they were largely directed at the Daily Trust
newspaper, one of the several media houses which had carried the news. Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information,
described the newspaper’s report on the agreement as “baseless and
sensational”. He thereafter pointedly accused
the Daily Trust of “attempting to set the country on fire” 27. Dropping hints on options opened to the
government, he suggested that government was trying to be civil, and is
“restraining [itself] from taking self-help or draconian measures”. The Minister for Budget and Economic Planning,
Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, who had signed the Agreement on behalf of
Nigeria, similarly issued an official statement28 justifying
government’s position. After these direct refutations by two government
ministers, two unusual prominent spokespersons arose in further defense of the
Government.
First was the popular US-based social media
Influencer, Farooq Kperogi. In a
facebook post29, Prof Kperogi affirmed the statements of the
Ministers that there were no LGBTQ stuff in the Samoa Agreement. He then went
on to lambast the Daily Trust as not having cited any portion of the Agreement
that mentioned LGBTQ. Strangely, not
only does he ignore the problematic sections that had been extensively cited by
Barr Ekwowusi, Kperogi continually made his own references to a 12-page
document, probably a summary of the original 172-page Agreement, which he said
he accessed somewhere on the EU website.
Anyway, he thereafter tore down the reportage style of the Daily Post
which he said maliciously employed “circular reporting” with the intention to
create mischief in the public.
The major point of Prof Kperogi’s response to the
signed Agreement however, was that the IMF and World Bank are known to always
tie their financial supports to African countries with unreasonable “punishing
conditionalities”. So, what’s the big
deal then even if it is true that the EU is also imposing some conditionalities
to the access of her $150 billion economic package? It is quite surprising that this highly
respected Professor would put poverty and perversion at par! He closed with an Esau-sque “what is
birthright to a starving man?” posture.
Scoffing, he summarized what he considers the problem with Nigeria: “So
long as LGBTQ+ people have no rights, so long as our religious and cultural
values are respected, it doesn't matter if the IMF and the World Bank instruct
our leaders to murder us piecemeal.”
It is difficult to understand why
Nigerians should be asked to continue to acquiesce to further evil, just
because they had done so in the past. It is difficult not considering Kperogi’s
article as a hatchet-job done at the behest of the government.
The second prominent defense of
government’s signing of the Samoa Agreement came also surprisingly from an
unexpected highly respectable source – the Chairman of the Nigeria Bar
Association (NBA). In the article addressed to “Distinguished Colleague”, and
later posted on the NBA Blog,30 Mr Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau (OON, SAN) revealed that the NBA had participated in
helping government to assess the Agreement, and had recommended the signing. He
thereafter averred that “there is no provision in the Samoa Agreement which
requires Nigeria to accept or in anyway recognise LGBTQ or gay rights, either
as a pre-condition for a loan of $150 Billion USD or at all.” Any claim to the contrary, he said, must be
“either due to ignorance of the content of the agreement or, a deliberate
intention to mislead the public.” In
conclusion, the NBA President wrote: “the SAMOA agreement recognises, for
instance, Nigeria’s Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act, 2023 and of course,
the Supremacy of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as
amended). If this were not the case, the NBA would have since advised the
Federal Government not to enter or engage in any form of partnership or
agreement that has the ability to undermine the sovereignty of our nation in
anyway.
While this categorically clear statement from the
President of the nation’s professional body for learned people should be
re-assuring enough, it is noted that in the very same paragraph, Chief Maikyau
wrongly cited the concerned national Law as signed in 2023 instead of 2013. This strongly suggests that the statement by
the NBA President was so hurriedly prepared that it did not get the benefit of
adequate proof-reading!
In addition to the above two major voices that rose in
defense of the government on the Samoa Agreement, government threatened the
Daily Post with litigation at the courts, and as well, filed a formal complaint
against it with the NPAN Ombudsman for “irresponsible reporting”.
A thoroughly shaken Daily Post responded with a
meekly-toned conciliatory Statement27. In the statement signed by the Legal Adviser
to the Media Trust Group (Publishers of the Daily Trust), Maryam Aminu Bello,
the newspaper said it had “followed with attention what [the two] government
officials said, and left unsaid.”
It also “acknowledged lapses in our reporting on this
particular matter, pointed out to us by professional colleagues, and we will
review and take appropriate measures”. The statement concluded:
“As our editors
understood it, the Samoa Agreement signed by Nigeria has expanded the
definition of gender rights, from the traditional male-female, to a new norm,
captured by the term LGBTQ (Lesbian; Bi-sexual, Gay, Transgender and Queer).
That is the crux of the matter.
“If the agreement does
not aim at promoting such new orientation, widely accepted in Western
countries, then we are wrong in our interpretation. We will readily apologise
both to the government and to the public for crying wolf.”
We will close this review of the extensive public
commentaries on the Samoa Agreement, with reference to the very detailed and
incisive Statement issued by the Lagos Chapter of the National Association of
Catholic Lawyers.
The statement30 posted on July 11, 2024
began:
“We, National Association
of Catholic lawyers, Lagos Chapter, after meticulously and carefully going
through the Samoa Agreement signed by Nigeria of 28th June 2024 unequivocally
faults the signing and state as follows:”
What followed are 18 points x-raying the agreement and
pointing out of areas incongruous with extant laws in Nigeria, and Africa. Specifically, according to the Statement:
“ articles 2.(5), 29.(5),
36.(2), 88, 97 of Samoa Agreement are in fragrant (sic) violation
of section 14 (1) (2) (a) of the 1999
Constitution, Same-Sex Marriage
(Prohibition) Act 2014 and Articles
2, 8, 17, 18, 28, 29 of the African
Charter on Human & Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement)
Act, CAP 10 which have been become part and parcel of the Nigerian law.
It then went into the crux of the matter, use of the
word “gender” versus “sex”:
“2. That
the notion of "gender equality" contained in the Samoa Agreement is a
Trojan horse for deceptively legalizing LGBT, same-sex marriage, sexual
orientation and abortion in countries.
3.
That the word "gender" is now given social construct, not biological
construct. “Gender” connotes homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism and
abortion. "Sex" means Male and Female. Gender means Male, Female,
LGBT and transgenderism and abortion,
This is why section 42
(1) of the Nigerian Constitution talks about “sex” and not “gender”. “Sex”
means “male” or “female” whereas "gender" connotes homosexuality,
lesbianism, transgenderism and abortion.
……
4. Article 29 (5) of Samoa Agreement states:
“The Parties shall
support universal access to sexual and reproductive health commodities and
healthcare services, including for family planning, information and education,
and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and
programmes.”
"Sexual and
Reproductive health commodities, health care services and reproductive
programmes" are nothing but euphemisms for abortion, abortifacients, LGBT
services and education, teaching African kids masturbation, erection, touching
in each other's genitals etc in the name of Comprehensive Sexuality Education
(CSE).”
The statement further averred that the EU had “on June
22, 2022 defined the phrase "Sexual and reproductive health and
rights" to encompass LGBT, sexual orientation and gender identity It also points out inclusion in Article 36 (2)
of commitment to “the full and effective implementation” of three other
protocols whose context are to be used to interpret the Samoa Agreement. These were the Beijing Declaration, the
International Conference on Population and Development [ICPD], as well as the
Outcomes of the Review Conferences of the two.
Finally, the Catholic Lawyers observed that Article 97
of Samoa Agreement is the supremacy Clause, making it superior to any treaty,
convention or further agreement. The
Article states:
"No treaty,
convention, agreement or arrangement of any kind between one or more member
States of European and one or more OACPS Members shall impede the
implementation of this Agreement".
As the way forward, the Statement urged that Nigeria
should either withdraw her signature from Samoa Agreement, or alternatively
insist that a PROVISO CLAUSE should be inserted into the Agreement. Such clause would be to the effect that
"Nothing or no term in the Agreement shall be construed as promoting LGBT,
same-sex marriage, Comprehensive Sexuality Education, abortion, transgenderism,
sex education in schools in the countries that signed the Agreement"
In concluding, the statement noted: “We know Nigeria
was under pressure from the very beginning to sign the Samoa Agreement, That
pressure is from European Union. But we cannot compromise our philosophical and
cultural heritage”.
Government Pressured to Sign
It is not only the Catholic lawyers group that has
referenced pressures, especially from the EU, being placed on government in
signing the Samoa Agreement. The Premium
Times actually cited a local avenue through which such international pressures
might have been channeled. According to
the July 15 edition of the newspaper, as late as May 2024, the Federal
Government was still being pressured to sign the Agreement, suggesting it had
not made up its mind as at that time.
The pressure cited by the Premium Times came directly from the National
Assembly, as an institution. According to the Premium Times31:
“Not only did it push for
the Agreement, but the federal legislature also participated as “observers” and
nominated a candidate to take a position in the parliamentary wing of the
organisation.”
The newspaper supported its claim with a letter
written by the National Assembly to the Minister of Budget and National
Planning, urging the government to urgently sign the Samoa Agreement. Apparently, the letter was leaked to the
Premium Times as a backlash to the Assembly’s later calling for the suspension
of the implementation of the Agreement, following the public outcry against it.
The letter read in part:
“The Leader of the
Nigerian Delegation was nominated during the meetings to represent West Africa
in the Bureau of the Regional Assembly. Regrettably, her nomination was,
however, stepped down because Nigeria had not signed the Samoa Agreement and
also due to Nigeria’s indebtedness.
Accordingly, the Honourable Minister is requested to kindly consider the
above and put in place machinery for signing the agreement and payment of the
accumulated subscriptions to the Organization of African Caribbean and Pacific
States and European Union (OACPS) to avoid the Nigerian delegation to the
meetings being subjected to ridicule”
So, it turned out that the primary reason the august
National Assembly as an Institution was pressurizing the Federal Government to
sign an Agreement of monumental implications, was to facilitate the
participation of one of her members in the Joint Parliamentary Assembly of the
OACPS-EU! The bottomline of which would be estacodes and allowances! This sadly
buttresses the seemingly harsh words Barr Ekwowusi had used when opening up
this subject to the nation when he wrote25:
“I can wager that neither
Minister Atiku Bagudu nor the Nigerian officials or diplomats who signed the
Samoa Agreement on our behalf understand the import of the Agreement to
Nigeria’s sovereignty, let alone the destructive impact of the Agreement in Nigeria”.
So, What is Next?
The truth of this matter can only be confusing to
anyone who wishes it to so be. Nobody
could doubt that the EU is desperately committed to promoting LGBTQ values, and
that it would use every means available, including the OACPS-EU Samoa
Agreement, to vigorously push them. Interestingly, in the very first edition of
Church Arise! (Vol 1 No 1 of January 1998)32, we had noted and
reported the strong commitment of the EU to normalizing gay marriage, at that
time, within all EU nations:
“The European Parliament
has called for legislation, which would be binding upon member states to
legalise homosexual marriage and allow homosexual couples to foster or adopt
children”. (Prophecy Today Sept 1997, pg. 31)
The commitment to further spread this all over the
world outside Europe was clearly indicated in the speech of then PM David
Cameron, as quoted by President Goodluck Jonathan, which we cited previously21:
“On July 24, 2013, while
celebrating the passage of the United Kingdom’s Marriage (Same Sex Couples)
Act, 2013, Mr. Cameron said “I want to export gay marriage around the world”.
“At that occasion, he boasted that he would send the team that successfully
drafted and promoted the Bill, to nations, like Nigeria….”
It will be fool-hardy hoping that in the months and
years to come, the “gender” versus “sex” issue, deliberately blurred in the
Samoa Agreement, will be interpreted the traditional Nigerian way, rather than
the post-modern European way. The question then should be, what next, now that
Nigeria has signed the Agreement?
It will be nice to imagine that the government will
indeed unsign the Agreement, but that would be really some wishful thinking! We can expect the government to simply wish
to lie low, until the matter burn out of public consciousness, and is replaced
with fresh other concerns. That this will eventually happen seems almost
inevitable.
It is from the EU that we should expect the next
moves. According to Sonnie Ekwowusi,
reportedly26 during an interview on Channels TV:
“the Agreement is like
giving an open cheque to the European Union because, in the coming months and
years, the European Union will be making dangerous decisions binding on Nigeria
and other countries that signed the Agreement. He said that the European Union
does not care about the ratification and domestication of the Samoa Agreement
by Nigeria and that since Nigeria has signed the Agreement, the European Union
will be sending their envoys to Nigeria for the implementation of the
Agreement.”
This projection is realistic, and is consistent with
precedents, from other sectors of our society.
We can expect many of these forthcoming damning
policies and dangerous decisions to be creatively channeled through local NGOs.
With the right funding in a vulnerable society, these highly experienced LGBTQ
enthusiasts are virtually irresistible, particularly to youths. The New Sexuality advocates have always put
high premium on disseminating their products in society, with no costs spared.
Consider for instance the kind of funding funneled for that cause as far back
as 2006:
“From the MacAthur
foundation alone, over five billion naira has been given to various NGOs in
less than 3 years, to see to the task of ramming the odious pill of Sexuality
Education down the throats of Nigerians, by all means. ……
All these from just one
of several donors alone! For instance Action Health Incorporated, in 2004 got a
separate $1,100,000 from the Ford Foundation ― to strengthen the documentation,
training, public education and field and constituency-building programs of the
Africa Regional Sexuality Resource. 33
With the globalists desperately needing to push this
new sexuality agenda through in Nigeria, we can expect that no expense would be
spared. As already discussed, the
primary bait attached to the Samoa Agreement is money – and some $150 billion
is on the table to play with.
The NGOs know their onions, and are adept at using
money to achieve set objectives. Our comments in this regard, twenty years ago,
is even more relevant today. In a footnote to an article in 2003 we warned:
“The international
sponsors of sexuality education are really not as naïve (as the local
advocates) to expect to run over the nations with their idea. In reality, all
that these masterminds of sexuality education seek is a little inroute - an
official platform - into the nation‘s educational apparatus from where to
launch their more deadly missiles. Like Judas Iscariot, Nigerian advocates of
sexuality education – and those who silently acquiesce to the agenda - will
soon find out at the end of the day that they are mere disposable pawns in the
whole business.” 34
One hundred and fifty billion US dollars
is a lot of money! In a society where we
have people who are ready to sacrifice virtually anything (or anybody) in order
to make money, via all manners of means (including occult rituals and yahoo
plus), we can expect considerable patronage for the polished versions of the
same phenomenon that would be made available from this forthcoming European
funding. Young undergraduates, for instance, should watch out for recruitments
into amorous romps under the guise of providing ushering/escort services at
high-brow social functions. We have seen before, incredulous mouth-watering
research grants (accessible by even people without a basic University degree!)35,
seeking to sanitize LGBTQ values. We also saw before, efforts to mainstream new
medical specialties (designed to incorporate abortion and LGBTQ values into the
now well-accepted reproductive health specialty), with guarantees for quick
publication in dedicated “high impact” peer reviewed journals36. The
end goal of this being to fast-track academic promotions and ensure placements
into strategic offices in key government Institutions. We can further expect all medical
Practitioners (not just Obstetrics and Gynaecology) being required to follow
drastically-altered protocols, designed to affirm LGBTQ values, as is already
happening in several ivy-league Universities in western nations37.
Yes, we must thank God for the leveling
of the playfield with the advent of Donald J Trump in the USA; nevertheless,
the battle against 150 billion US dollar dangled before frustrated abused
youths in a depressed economy will require considerable divine supports for
successful prosecution! Judases and “Useful
idiots” will continue to be sought out and flattered, and corrupted in order
for the enemies of righteousness to gain strategic footholds into our national
life, one little step after the other. As foretold in the book of Daniel, “ ….many who
deal wickedly against the covenant”, shall be “corrupted by flattery” (Dan
11:32)!
The following 2011 report38 on the Church
Arise blog will further clarify what to expect in the very near future:

Stepping up recruitments
into lesbianism in Nigeria: it’s now “by force, by fire!”
In Vol 8 No 6 (2005),
Church Arise! reported on the activities of some major NGOs in Nigeria, such as
the Minna-based INCRESE, who boldly admit to luring girls into lesbianism with
material trappings. INCRESE in particular organizes the Igonet, a periodic
female-only sexual rumps at Abuja with the attendance of young girls from
various campuses all over the country sponsored. This is their own little way,
they claim, of facilitating “reproductive health” and sexual freedom in
Nigeria!
However, such carrot-approach to increasing the number of lesbians in the
country seems too slow in producing the critical number of homosexuals these
shameless but vocal advocates of abominable immorality desire. Armed with their
literally “sea-never-dry” fundings, these “change agents” are apparently now
seeking help from campus cultists to further help speed up recruitments into
their satan-inspired lifestyle.
Nigerians were shocked to read in national newspapers in July, of cultists who
brutally forced female students to perform lesbian acts together. Lt Col Sagir
Musa, Assistant Director, Public Relations of the 82 Division of the Nigerian
Army, Enugu described the situation: “It was such a nasty, terrible, brutal
situation where cultists captured female students and forced them to have
sexual intercourse with themselves.” The number of girls involved were not
stated but as many as 20 cult members involved in the saga were paraded before
pressmen before being handed over to the police. (see http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/07/20-cultists-arrested-for-forcing-girls-into-lesbianism/).
According to other reports, the girls were asked to pretend to be carrying out
the acts willfully and the video recordings were made to give the impression of
supposed lesbians enjoying their acts.
Unfortunately, cultists raping girls on campus is no longer news in Nigeria
(with the filmed gang-rape at Abia State University – August 2011 – apparently
the final straw provoking a national outrage). What many people could not
understand is why cultists would subject innocent girls to brutal treatment
just to get them to try out lesbianism? What exactly do the cultists stand to
gain?
The answer might lie with another curious action of the cultists – why make
potentially incriminating video recordings of the proceedings?
In trying to explain the situation, one NGO theorized: “Once the cultists
succeed in forcing the girls to perform the acts, they know they have obtained
an instrument that can be used to devastating effect. This is because Nigerian
society strongly disapproves of homosexual relations… In such a society, where
homosexuality is viewed not just as deviance but as extreme depravity, a video
tape in which a girl is shown engaging in such a taboo “voluntarily”, instantly
becomes a potent instrument for endless blackmail, emotional torment and
monetary extortion.”
http://saferafricagroup.com/2011/07/16/insight-forced-lesbian-sex-on-campuses-a-new-crime-in-schools-already-endangered/
This line of thinking is clearly warped and far-fetched. Other simpler means
would have worked even better if the end goal were just blackmail for monetary
extortion. It is more likely the cultists were trying to stimulate
homosexuality in these girls in the first instance. It is well established that
homosexual assault is one of the commonest ways of getting people to eventually
choose the gay lifestyle (see our previous article at http://nigeriaworld.com/articles/2006/feb/072.html).
The video recording would confirm that the cultists were commissioned for this
assignment, and the videos would be proof that they had delivered on the
assignment – and could collect the balance of their payment. Of course, the
videos could also find further use in the multi-billion dollar global porn
industry, especially for further recruitment purposes.
Incidentally, the line of reasoning advanced by the above-cited NGO is subtly
suggesting that if only our society were less intolerant of homosexuality,
incidents like these would be minimized. What a way of turning facts on their
heads, characteristic of people who have become carried away by the several
soap opera scripts they routinely write!
Mark our words: the shameless advocates of homosexuality in our society who
have to write reports to the likes of Mr Bill Gates to justify the millions of
dollars they routinely collect, and who are even at this present time
pressurizing the National Assembly to legalize homosexual marriages, are not
far behind this incident at Enugu.
https://churcharise.blogspot.com/2011/10/stepping-up-recruitments-into.html
In closing this subject of forthcoming massive actions
by NGOs for LGBTQ values, we note that the ultimate NGO providing official
backing for all these, is the World Health Organization (WHO). With most of the funding for the WHO coming
from the EU and individuals committed to the new sexuality, Nigerians should
watch out for new products being channeled directly through the WHO.
We have mentioned previously that the WHO is already
neck-deep involved in the new sexuality.
For instance, one of her Panels is currently on course to develop
“guidelines on the health of trans and gender diverse people.” The goal being to mainstream and standardize
gender transitioning protocols within the next two years.37 Sad to
note that in Nigeria, once the WHO makes a pronouncement, it literally becomes
the gospel truth! (We provide details on
this in Chapter 5).
A very concerning related
development to all these, is the ovary-harvesting plot which Prof Phillip Njemanze
insisted is ongoing. Naming relevant people
and citing dates, and venues where the plots were hatched, Njemanze claimed39,
that the National Health Act (2014) now empowers physicians to (if they wish) harvest
ovaries from Nigerian girls who present in hospitals for routine surgery,
without need for any informed consent.
There is also, of course, the rising cases of young girls actually
selling their ovaries for cash40, a concept actively being promoted
by European outlets such as the BBC41. It would appear that with the
general availability of robots with “artificial wombs” (essentially embedded
incubators), all that is needed to launch the industry that will guarantee
unending supplies of babies for the LGBTQ movement is an endless supply of
ovaries. Njemanze in particular links this development to the projected thirty
trillion US dollar organ cloning industry with which Europe hopes to rejuvenate
her sagging economy. The Samoa agreement will be paving the way for all these
terrible developments.
