Charles Oputa, the AreaFada1, made his stance on same sex marriage known on Tuesday, speaking with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the current trend in which many countries legalised same-sex marriages was worrisome.
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.
