Nigeria's foremost gay activist, Bisi Alimi 2 days ago delivered a lecture titled   “Post-colonial sexual identity and orientation in Nigeria” at Free University in Berlin, Germany where he said homosexuality is very African as much as it is Nigerian. Below is an extract from his paper: Even though Nigeria has recently seen a more active conversation around the issue of sexuality and gender, these conversations are played out on the premise of sentiments, morality, religion and assumptions rather than on facts. But it is facts and not assumption that can put things into perspective. The argument against homosexuality in Nigeria has been on the premise that it is “un-African” and hence not part of our culture. The other premise used is that since it is not part of our culture, therefore it is “un-biblical”.

Woolwich killers, Michael Adebolajo (left) and his friend, Michael Adebowale (right) have been found guilty of the murder of British soldier, Lee Rigby.   The two self-confessed killers of Lee Rigby were today convicted of his murder as the family demanded that the “brainwashed” pair should never again be free after a three-week trial that publicly aired their violent Islamist philosophy. The security services and government faced difficult questions over the radicalisation of Michael Adebowale, 22, and Michael Adebolajo, 29, and the older man's dealings with the security services in the months before the murder. A jury took just 90 minutes to find the pair guilty of murdering the unsuspecting soldier, the father of a two-year-old boy Jack, on May 22 as he walked back to his barracks. As the two defendants were led down to the cells, Adebolajo looked towards the press gallery and kissed his copy of the Koran.

For all the attention they direct below the belt, most men actually know very little about their penises. Here's the knowledge you need to keep yours healthy, strong, and ready for action, for life. Fact #1:  Smoking can shorten your penis by as much as a centimeter. Erections are all about good bloodflow, and lighting up calcifies blood vessels, stifling erectile circulation. So even if you don't care all that much about your lungs or dying young, spare the little guy. Fact #2:  Doctors can now grow skin for burn victims using the foreskins of circumcised infants. One foreskin can produce 23,000 square meters, which would be enough to tarp every Major League infield with human flesh. Fact #3:  An enlarged prostate gland can cause both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. If you have an unexplained case of either, your doctor's looking forward to checking your prostate. Even if you're not.

Dr Daniel Olukoya-led Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries church, MFM, will today Dec. 19th begin a crusade to close down all beer parlor outlets in Lagos and turn them into their praying centres.  The church says it took the decision to close down beer parlors because alcohol consumption & crime go hand in hand.
