Fellow Nigerians, it has become necessary to address you on recent events in some parts of the country that have threatened our collective security and shaken the foundations of our corporate existence as a nation.

Nigerian Gay Pastor Dares Senate, Recruits More Members

Rev Rowland Olajide Macaulay is a gay pastor who used to run a gay church in Nigeria called House of Rainbow, located at No 36/38 Yakoyo street, Ojodu Berger, Lagos. I say used to run, because after a newspaper exposed the activities of his church, he packed up and relocated to London where he is still running his gay church. He appeared some time ago on CNN, where he proudly talked about his church of gays.

Rev Macaulay is in the news again because he's speaking out against the anti-gay bill which was passed in the senate recently. Continue to read a Vanguard Report on it...


World’s first sex school opens in Vienna


Vienna, Austria is the new home to the World’s first international applied sex school, which claims to teach its students how to become better lovers.
The “hands on” syllabus will cost students a cool £1,400 per term and will see students living in mixed sex dormitories, where, they are expected to practice their homework. Hmmm, I wonder what type of applied sexuality homework that is!

Ylva-Maria Thompson, Swedish-born headmistress of the college says that their core education is not theoretical, but very practical.
“Sexual positions, caressing techniques, anatomical features. And we teach people hands on,” explains Thompson.

This is a serious issue! So someone will be going to school to study these things in practical? I don't buy this at all.
Dear readers, what's your take on this? Please comment.

Miss Nigeria 1958, Helen Anyamelune, needs help!




Culled from National Mirror
She was once the most beautiful girl in Nigeria but one would hardly believe this in seeing her. Age and sickness have ravaged that, leaving a shell of that stunning beauty. This is the story of Helen Anyamelune, the second Miss Nigeria. Today, Helen lives in a state of sickness and abandonment. She is equally wheel-chair struck. But it hasn't always been like this.

The bill spells out a 14-year jail term for anyone entering into same-sex marriage or civil union.
