Gay Pastor Dares Nigerian Government, Recruits Members

Rev Rowland Jide Macaulay, the gay minister who founded House Of Rainbow Fellowship, is leading a serious comeback into Nigeria, sources have disclosed. Reverend Roland not too long ago appeared on Cable Network News, CNN, where he proudly talked about his church of gays. [How come Nigerians supporting gay people - directly and indirectly - always get a space on CNN?]


"Religion is a backbone to life in Nigeria, so we all want to go to church. But we don’t want to lie to God about who we are. Any negative effect on the anti-gay bill will have detrimental effect on the work and mission of House Of Rainbow in Nigeria.

"The lives of LGBTI people and their friends, families and allies will be further frustrated with fear and prejudice. We need to pray and stand up against injustice.

"My Church is a voice of the younger generation of citizens, activists, and diaspora, and our collective belief in a more progressive Nigeria. They are afraid of our growing influence as we gather allies not just from the West, a people that are not afraid but powerful and resilient."

Right now, they are spreading their tentacles to every village, town and city around the world. The Church is also calling on faithful and dedicated local leaders who believe in homosexuality and lesbianism...

At the moment, Rev. Rowland is in a self-imposed exile in London where he is presently running his gay church - House Of Rainbow Fellowship - and planning a come back into the Nigerian society

Britain Threatens Nigeria To Reverse Gay Marriage Law Or Face Sanction

THE Federal Government on Thursday disagreed with the British Government over the recently passed same-sex marriage bill

as the Senate president, David Mark insisted that the law is irrevocable in spite of the threat by the foreign nations to withdraw assistance to Nigeria on account of that law.

While the British Government said that Nigerian government should rescind its decision to punish individuals who engage in same sex marriage with 14 years imprisonment, the Federal Government said that the foreign mission should hold whatever assistance or aid to Nigeria tied to such gifts with ulterior motive.

The British Prime Minister, Mr David Camevon, said that Britain would not give any assistance or aid to countries that were opposed to same sex marriage.

The British High Commissioner in Nigeria, Mr Andrew Lyod, who held a closed door meeting with the Jigawa State governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, asked the Nigerian government to rescind its decision on punishing individuals involved in same sex marriage, adding that such a law infringes on the fundamental rights of choice and association.

This is just as the Canadian government has also condemned the passage of a bill criminalising same-sex marriage and gay activities in Nigeria by the Senate, saying that the bill, if assented to by President Goodluck Jonathan, would trample upon the fundamental human rights of homosexuals and gay people.

The Canadian government, in a statement by its Foreign Affairs Minister, John Baird, on Thursday, called on Nigeria to reverse the bill so as to allow all its citizens to enjoy basic rights.

The Canadian government said: “Canada calls on Nigeria to immediately ensure that all its citizens enjoy basic rights. A bill passed by Nigeria’s Senate would, if ratified, disregard basic human rights and fundamental freedoms.”
