Criminalise same sex marriage —Nigerian Catholic

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has urged the federal government and members of the National Assembly  to make it a criminal offence for any individual, involved in same-sex marriage, describing the act as     ‘against natural law’.

Making the call, recently, in Lagos at the 38th Annual Convention of     the Order of the Knights of St. Mulumba Nigeria, the Acting Supreme     Knight, Bro. Diamond Ovueraye, argued that it had become imperative for the  two arms of government  to expedite action on the Same-Sex     Bill, currently on the floor of the National Assembly, to enable the     country to effectively stem the ugly tide,     Attributing the increasing popularity of same-sex to falling   family values in the country, Ovueraye explained that one of the aims    of the  convention, tagged  Family Values, Human Rights and the   challenges of Modernisation in Nigeria,  was to sensitise the society  to some of those issues  presently confronting the average Nigerian family, with the aim of proffering solutions.
