Africa will stay an enslaved continent as long as the Western world provide dime to the poor and hungry and propagates all their wishes.
Our beloved continent is embroiled in persistent poverty that is not about to end.
The dependency syndrome has increased to the extent that the elite who should direct the affairs of the country have betrayed the cause of our fore fathers and become spokespersons of Western ways.
October 23 was one of the worst days of my life when I woke up to read, with disbelief a one-and-a-half page press release in The New Vision titled; “Anti-homosexuality or anti-human rights Bill” by a coalition of civil society organisations on human rights and constitutional law.
What a tragedy for Africans who depend on others for a livelihood. The elite, including the women organisations, that sent this press release and paid handsomely for its publication, are slaves living under neo-colonialism. This is not their opinion or belief, it is their ‘sponsors’ who direct them what to do or say. What a disappointment we are to our society.
There is a quotation I came across that says “God made Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steven… ” This means, therefore, that any act that is done between people of the same sex is un-Godly. Let us not challenge God’s ways. If all of us were to become gay, where would the next generation come from? If spouses of these civil society activists turned gay, would they shout themselves hoarse in praise of their beloved ones’ sexual orientation? What if it were their children involved in this act, would you support and encourage them?
Beware of your actions today. Remember these homosexuals cannot reproduce. They must recruit, and they want our children. That is why they are getting public people like you civil society to present homosexuality as “normal” and acceptable.
They know that the next generation will one day be voters, and they will change the laws so that homosexuals can prey on children and not worry about breaking the law. Beware that it will be your daughter to show up with a female fiancé. It is not only from the religious point of view that Ugandans like David Bahat, MP Ndorwa West, has come up with a law against same sex union. A research I recently came across shows that the consequences of homosexual activity have significantly altered the delivery of medical care to the population in North America where homosexuality is widely practised.
With the increased incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, organisms in unexpected places, simple sore throat is no longer so simple.
Doctors must start asking their patients probing questions or they risk making a misdiagnosis. The evaluation of a sore throat must now include questions about oral and anal sex.
Doctors should also start asking about their patient’s sexual practices and consider how to treat anal cancer, rectal gonorrhea and other diseases.
In America, Human Herpes Virus 8 (called Herpes Type 8 or HHV-8) is a disease found exclusively among male homosexuals.
Researchers have long noted that men who contracted HIV through homosexual behaviour frequently developed a previously rare form of cancer called Kaposi’s sarcoma. Worse still after sometime, men who practise homosexuality get a leaking anus. This means, therefore, that they will be required to use nappies like babies to avoid soiling their clothes.
Are we ready as a country to risk these infections given our poor health services and lack of specialised treatment and human resource?
Ugandans must rise up and fight all sources of evil no matter how much money the West sends. Human dignity must be protected.
