All these mushroom and oversabi private schools boasting of using UK curriculum should be called to order asap. They just bring all manners of colourfully useless textbooks for the children with tht intentions of milking the parents dry.

2braithe:


He is a Muslim, yes or no?

He wasn't the one who claimed you can thigh a minor, it's the Quran. He wasn't the one who said you can beat your wife as a last option, it's the Quran.
So, why single him out?

You feel you have given an uppercut for your mind abi. Just so you know, he is of the Shia sect. They are 10 - 15% of the whole Muslim population worldwide. Their interpretation of certain aspects of the Qur'an is debatable and most times seen as been self serving. They are most times not taken serious because of some of their doctrines.
An example here in Nigeria is their leader sheik El Zakzaky, left to others , the persecution he received from the Government was well deserved. You won't hear most Muslims outside his sect coming to his defence. That gives you an idea how most Muslims don't take them seriously. So if you're quoting their leader in Iran, na to just bust out laffin.

Tooreda:
I have children in primary school and the Queen primer being referred to here should be book 1 or 2.

The word GAY in the book means happy. It is never related to sexuality.

see ehn, I was waiting for only one person who was truly educated to tell all these idiots the real meaning of the old English word "gay" here without insulting them. . But you see me? I curse their fathers and their mothers for their negligence pertaining to their now seemingly idiotic children roaming around online and on the street causing mayhem and misinterpreting simple innocent words. I curse all their teachers from nursery till tertiary for being so concerned about their salary and not the academic development of students under their care. I curse them all for destroying the hope of Nigeria. Imagine the kind of children these idiots will progeniate and nurture... If it continues like this, My Country Nigeria is finished!

This one na serious matter, its called early indoctrination

Make dem make laws to alleviate poverty for the country.

Na because say everything na importation for the country, i thought that book used to be produced in Nigeria, if dem dey produce that book for our country no author go dare introduce kids to such nonsense in their books

All of these idiots are basically concerned with religion and tribalism! And they are everywhere on Nairaland! How can we develop as a country when this rot has eaten deep into our stem? Just imagine this idiotic minister abi Rep! How did he getting power if he can't understand a mundane sentence like "let us be merry, let us be gay!"

And to think that daft people like him are littered over the banking sector, energy sector, social works, leadership and security sector gives me chills down my spine and puts me at loss for words to describe how damaged my emotion is as a result!


Do we still have hope?

Timoleon:



I don’t know how old you are. I at least hope you can be honest. In the last 20year of your life, have you ever heard someone use gay in a normal conversation to mean happy? When I say normal conversation I mean conversation outside the class room. Answer honestly.

Thank God you said classroom, which is exactly where the book is being used. However I do understand that the word has been changed outside the classroom just like the word kid originally meaning offspring of a goat but now means a human child.
All I am saying is English language is diverse..

RingRoadMafia:
I fit bet my life say this idiot nor know say "gay" get other meanings. Is this what they're paying you people billions of naira to legislate?? Wtf?

I was waiting for this statement. I knew someone will come up with this excuse. Infact, people like you is exactly why the word was used that way in the book, so that it can be defended with the excuse that it means something else. If you believe that there is no other agenda behind that particular word being used, regardless of any other meaning it may have, then I am not sorry to say that some mothers really do have them.

atiku4President:
Noted. At least the concerned Rep has said something worthy of reporting. Some are there and the only time they have raised their hands is to collect bullet proof SUV.

Timoleon:
Ban it.

It did not subtly introduce gay into it, it did it viciously. After few pages, they put in the line ‘let us be gay’ for little kids to fill their heads with.

It must be banned.

gay also means happiness

jaephoenix:

Please use a dictionary. Gay has other meanings that were used. I'm sure you don't even know them

I don't need to know what it means but what it stands for. Period

Slimzjoe:


Fucking lazy Liar

Pained gay

Straight to the point. I wish someone or someone who knows someone close to the 9 reps from Osun state to mention a contribution any of them has made in this current NASS. Rubbish

This shows that a lot of us are not knowledgeable.
The phrase is Let us be gay and had been written ages ago and has no relationship with LGBTQ. Let us be gay means Let us be happy Na Wa oooo

mightyhaze:
Gay is an old English word meaning happy...before the word was now recently used as homosexual


I remember our Ghanaian teachers using those words wen we were in primary school in the 80s

Plenty people no hear English and no even fit just do small research

What the writer of Queen Primer had in mind with the word 'gay' is 'to be happy and full of life'. Please, check your dictionary. Let's now agree that the only registered meaning of the word (in some people's mind) is homosexual, is an outright ban of the book the way out? Call the attention of the publishing company to it. Let there be revision of the book and the so called 'forbidden words' taken out. It will be better and appreciated if our lawmakers (from state to federal) can also look into and scrutinize some of the programmes that glorified nonsense and promote nudity, which even have the backing of the government, watched by millions .

blueghost:
Just imagine!!! They just want to bastardaise the system by all means. Queen premier wey person use learn how to read all those 2 letters and 3 letter words. Na by force to be LGBTQ even music movies religion sports they are trying to shove it down people throats. I like how Qatar handled them at the world cup.
We must resist by all means this barbarian acts

Funny, straight people have been doing the same shit to us for centuries yet we never said you were stuffing it down our throats. If you are so dumb to believe movies,music,sports and other vices of pop culture can turn someone gay,then I should be straight since all of una rubbish was forced down my throat for decades,I never saw any queer person on TV growing up but yet I'm gay. The media gives us a little visibility then you get mad because you want everything to belong to you, newsflash buddy,the world doesn't revolve around you. If they bother you so much,watch something else, asian movies don't have queer characters,stick to that Instead of complaining as if we are pointing a gun to your head to watch. Don't worry,we are not like you monsters that pointed a gun to our head to become straight by all means,unlike you bigots,we believe in freewill and equality not hate

Apus:
Nice.

Seems someone created a thread earlier on this.
This gay evangelism is becoming annoying.

You ain't seen nothing yet,we are coming for your children then you will feel the hate we felt

grandstar:
I fully support this motion.

It's a subtle way to introduce perversion to kids and for them to normalize it.

Homosexuality by its very nature is disconcerting to a teenager.

Homophobia is bad but it does not justify terming homosexuality as normal or encouraging kids to even experiment with it.

"Woe to those calling good, bad and bad, good" as the book of Isaiah says

Edit:

I just read the "gay" part of the book and it has zero to do with homosexuality. It uses the word gay simply in the original sense of the word "happy".

It has nothing to do with homosexuality.

Nevertheless, a perverted few may start twisting the words for personal sexual gain.
.

Oh yea.....say you are an homophobe without saying you are an homophobe so heterosexuality isn't disconcerting to a teenager? Or you think queer teenagers don't exist?

Oga no sugarcoat anything, it's ok to say you are an homophobe, it's Nigeria,just say you support the ban and move on like your fellow bigots

Very useless book, I saw one with my ward. I was surprised the kind of gay words been used there

When have you ever had this energy for child marriage? Hypocrites them,na only gay people body your moral compass go turn

Emeskhalifa:
I was shocked when I saw the word gay recently in it. Deep down I was praying make My niece no ask me uncle what is gay. Glad she did not ask but I think they should stop trying to shove that agenda on us. Let the kids decide for themselves when they become adult.

If she does ask,you tell her the truth,kids have the right to know because we exist then you can sprinkle in your own agenda of hatred for gay people,you can tell her we exist but it's against your "beliefs and it's not right" because e no dey pass una work

The point flew over your head.

It is permissible by the quran whether he said it or not.

jubrilcastle:

You are just beating round the bush. All I requested for is the verse in the Qur'an where rape is permissible but here you are quoting Ayothollah Khomeini. It's like you lack understanding
That's how your daddy G.O keep feeding you guys with lies and you swallow it with great pleasure

So sleeping with a minor that has started puberty just because you married her isn't rape and paedophilia?

Thighing and having non penetrative sex with a minor wife until she attains puberty isn't sexual abuse and paedophilia?

Beating your wife as a last resort isn't assault and battery?

All these are enshrined in the quran. Deny it and I'll take time off to show it to you!

2braithe:

Whatever man, Just no need quoting any one from shia sect. Nobody will take you serious, rather you would just be used for bants and jokes. . Go to twitter & verify.
Now you know. Thank you and you are welcome.
