The Kaduna State government yesterday lamented the ongoing debate on same sex marriage and legalization of prostitution,? describing them as “disheartening”.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Women affairs and Youth Development, Hajia Hawa Umar said that the ongoing deliberations on the bills defied common sense, religion and true human values.
?
Hawa said that the passage of the bill would be at the detriment of the future of Nigerian children.
?
She said that the proposed bill was an act of disrespect to God in totality as it would pollute the society.
?
Hawa urged the lawmakers to shun the bill and provide youths with meaningful jobs that would give them a future.
?
“No mother can be proud of her children in the prostitution business and no couple of same sex marriage can be proud of themselves.”
?
She said that Nigeria was not America where they legalised same sex marriage and added that “we should emulate their positive impact not the destructive acts as such.”
Hawa urged that the two bills be discouraged for health consequences as well as legal and cultural reasons.
