Senator flays Europe, America over pro-gay stance

PEEVED by the threats of sanction over Nigeria’s ban on same-sex marriage, sponsor of the bill, Senator Domingo Obende, yesterday urged European and American countries to transfer technology, not “morals” on the rectitude of such cultural and religious aberration.

Speaking to journalists in Benin City, Edo State, Obende also commended the leadership of the Senate for its support throughout the period the bill was in the House. He said: “I have always said that the best thing they can give to us is technology transfer, not ‘moral’ transfer.

“We are traditional people, a people of culture. We are much civilised in the way we do our things here in Africa and Africa is naturally unique, and that is why we are totally different from the culture they keep. We are a sovereign nation and I do not think that a country will have to legislate for another sovereign nation.

“Nigeria is a sovereign nation, we have the right to legislate on the governance of this country. We need technology transfer by which Nigeria will be developed.”

Tiwa Savage thrills Abia fans

It was a day to remember in Umuahia, Abia State capital  recently when for seven hours, 2 Flame Entertainment supported by Lulu Filmz brought the best of showbiz community to De-Latinos Event Place.

The show tagged ‘Rush’ lived up to its billing as award-winning singing sensations Tiwa Savage, and D Prince gave a good account of themselves.  The show also featured fast-rising stars like Exnel ( Aba first son), Muno (the lover-boy) and Slim Joe the dancer who gave a new interpretation to the business of dancing.

Rap star, Ruggedman, Sheyman and DJ Kentucky combined well with Big Brother Africa winner, Uti Nwachukwu that hosted the show. Other artistes that added to the fun-filled night were Mora-chi of the ‘Hapu ya Like Dat fame’ and lots of upcoming comedians who cracked up the house with hilarious jokes.
