Charles Oputa, also known as Charlyboy, on Tuesday raised
concern over the practice of same-sex marriage and advised that it should not
be allowed in Nigeria.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the current
trend in which many countries legalised same-sex marriages was worrisome.
The AreaFada was reacting to the recent decision of the
U.S. Supreme Court that legalised same-sex marriage in the country.
He also said that same–sex marriage was un-African and
should not be tolerated under the guise of civilization and right.
“I understand people talk about right and civilisation
but same-sex marriage is un-African, and we should not encourage it here.
“It is deeply disappointing and worrisome that the U.S.
Supreme Court could uphold same-sex marriage.
“I have never been the one to beef about people’s sexual
preferences but this is taking it too far.
“What is marriage equality? You can’t redefine marriage
by judicial fiat.
“In all cultures, secular or religious, marriage is
between a man and a woman.
“It is said that every child has a right to be raised by
two parents; a father and a mother, both are important and are not
interchangeable.
“The sad reality that so many children are deprived of
this right because of the crisis in traditional marriages does not make it any
less important,” he said.
