Obasanjo’s Church Kicks Against Anti-Gay Law

Chapel of Christ The Glorious King, the church founded by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Tuesday deplored threats by some Western countries to sanction Nigeria over its anti-gay laws.

The CCGK also urged the Federal Government not to be intimidated in its determination to check such anti-social vices among Nigerians.

The chapel as part of its support for the signing of the law against same-sex, will on Thursday hold a public lecture on the theme ‘Anti-gay law and the politics of grants’, to be delivered by the former Primate, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Reverend Peter Akinola.

The Chairman, Board of Trustees of CCGK, Deacon Victor Durodola, said this during a press conference organised by the chapel in Abeokuta, Ogun State, to herald the fifth anniversary of the church.

Durodola stated that same-sex marriage was alien to the culture of the society and negated the dictates of both Christianity and Islam.

He noted that the government and the people of Nigeria should remain resolute about their opposition to gay practices and same-sex marriage.

The BoT chairman said, “We wish to lend our voice to the matter of same-sex marriage. As a church, we reject it because it is against our culture; it is anti-social; it is against our religion. Both the Christian and Muslim religions abhor gay practices. The Holy Bible specifically prohibits same-sex relationships in marriage.

“Therefore, we reject gay practices, we reject same-sex marriage and also reject the threats by some Western countries to withhold their grants to Nigeria. We support our government in its efforts along this line. We should remain resolute. Yes, gays need our empathy but they also need to accept God’s love and surrender themselves to God’s healing power.”

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises” says Dr. Fi
