LOVE LIFE AND WORK

The love for my work, friends and family keep me going. I should say am blessed.

These people and others make life interesting.

HOMOSEXUALITY

HOMOSEXUALITY

The African traditional way of life shuns homosexuality; my question is why we are letting it get to us so freely? Why are we embracing it?

As an African I know that all children are brought up morally upright without discrimination of gender, tribe or color. We all have cultures and I don’t think there is a culture that embraces homosexuality. To me it’s a taboo and I will never accept it.

I have heard people say, “We shall accept these people because they are human and we should accept their feelings and try to support them” To me this is total bullshit because am sure no one is born a homosexual, I have heard of people being born as bi- sexual, hermaphrodites or other stuff but I believe that no one is born a homosexual. Our children are learning these things from boarding schools, from foreign visitors and some from televisions.

Parents take their children to single schools thinking that they will be safe from impregnating young girls or even young girls getting pregnant but what do we get at the end of achieving what took us to school? We end up scared of people from the opposite sex and we also end up as homosexuals, it is so sad for a parent knowing that his / her beloved daughter or son performed so well in school but will never have a girlfriend or boyfriend for they believe that they only have feelings for the same sexes.

Teachers I would say have failed in monitoring what students do while in dormitories. They assume that children can only get spoiled when in mixed schools but I think it’s the other way round. I believe that in high school this is when children get to puberty and they get so excited on trying what they feel in their bodies, they become sexually active and at that time in my opinion is when teachers should come in and talk to these student’s. I believe that teachers are not doing enough in counseling and guidance, they have not pinned out the dangers of homosexuality and if they have, they have not done enough in convincing these pupils.

A friend of mine once told me never to be so judgmental when it comes to these people, he also said that I may give birth to a child and they turn out to be homosexuals may God forbid but in my opinion I believe that for a child to be that It means that we don’t know much about what’s happening in our children’s lives, it means we don’t care about what they do behind their bedroom doors and that we don’t pay much attention to the people they hang out with or we don’t really care about the people they interact with on social networks or even the programs they watch.

I also think that today’s child is so much more in danger than the 18^th century or before child. We are faced with so many challenges. We learn things from all over both good and bad and I should also come to terms with what I call good and what I call bad because what I may call bad someone else will not call bad. 

I just can’t understand how or why people would sit down and say it’s ok for a man to fall in love with a fellow man, I mean how? How would I just sit there and watch my brother bring his “girlfriend” (boy) home and say “Hey guys meet my sweetheart” for me this is so insane.

I know many people who will read this will agree with me and some will think am absurd but truth be told no holly book say’s that homosexuality should be embraced. What are our leaders doing to stop this insanity? In one way or another we are going to stand on our feet and say this is good and this is not good. As Africans we have our own morals, morals that we ourselves are letting some group destroy, let’s be people who copy, but not copy everything, I would say take the good and leave the bad, take what will help you and let go of what will not help you. How will you sleep with a fellow girl or boy and benefit? It just doesn’t add up.

I would advise people to search their souls and be the good people they were otherwise the world is rotting and in one way or another we shall all face the consequences if we don’t stop this madness.

I will stop for now leaving you my readers with something to think about. Where are we heading?
