Bishop Milla Maza Commends Jonathan On Same-Sex Law

Bishop Milla Maza, the Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in Nasarawa State, yesterday, commended President Goodluck Jonathan for signing the same-sex marriage prohibition bill into law.
.
Maza told The InfoStride, in Lafia that signing the anti-gay law would go a long way in saving the country from the health and moral implications of same-sex marriage.
.
He said: “To us, it is devilish, there is no place in the scriptures that says man can marry a man or a lady can marry a lady.
.
Also, the National Council ofm Muslim Youth Organisation, NACOMYO, yesterday lauded President Jonathan for signing the bill into law.
.
However, the CAN Chairman, Maza said, “so, what the National Assembly did and the approval by President Jonathan are prayers answered. Same-sex marriage is devilish and such a thing should not even be mentioned in Nigeria.”
.
Corroborating Maza’s stance, a Muslim cleric in Lafia, Imam Shaibu Ismael, said “gay negates efforts for the sustenance of the human race.
.
“If a man marries another man, there will be no procreation. The same applies to a woman getting married to another woman.”
.
He added that “homosexuality is a heinous crime in Islam and we must all say no to such devilish behaviour.”
.
Chief Chukwunonso Ezedinma, the Special Adviser to Gov. Umaru Al-Makura on National Integration, said the same-sex prohibition law was in tandem with the beliefs and cultures of the people of Nigeria.
.
“For the fact that the laws or constitution that govern a country emanates from the culture and norms of such people, it is not expected that we have same sex marriage in Nigeria”.
