Show Homosexuals Love, Says UNILAG Prof

A Professor of Sociology, from the University of Lagos, on Monday, urged Nigerians not to stigmatize or reject homosexuals but rather show them love.

The sociologist, identified as Ndukaeze Nwabueze, said this as he called on parents to take seriously the monitoring of their children in order to trace and address psychosexual disorder.

Psychosexual dysfunction is the inability to become sexually aroused or achieve sexual satisfaction in the appropriate situations because of mental or emotional reasons.

He further advised people with a sexual abnormality to seek help on how to overcome this problem, as research revealed that victims in Nigeria are usually rejected and stigmatised.

Applauding the Federal Government on the same sex prohibition in Nigeria, Nwabueze stressed the need to show out a helping hand to the victims of this act so as to help them come out of it.

“Homosexuals need healing so as to make them useful to the society.

“Nature has decreed that sexual relationships should be between male and female,’’ he said.

“Sexual practice between the same sex is declared illegal in Nigeria, and people frown at it.

“The illegality attached has made people who practice the illegal sexual orientation to perpetuate it in hidden ways, thereby transferring different kinds of disease to themselves.

“Research made us understand that this group of people contract diseases because most of their acts are unprotected,” he said.

“I think they should not be rejected but be shown love and enlightened on the implications of their abnormality,” the don said.

Meanwhile, the don requested for more research on the causes of sexual abnormality, including homosexuality, in an effort to properly address the issue.
