March 19, 2013 – Actor Emeka Ike: “I’m Against Gay Marriage, Nigerians Should Stop Copying Foreign Culture”
Emeka Ike takes a stand against gay at Vchannel’s Celebrity Night out’
Popular Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, who is on self-imposed sabbatical from the industry recently took a stand against legalizing gay marriage in the country at Vchannel Celebrity Night Out at Troy Lounge in Lagos.
Emeka, while fielding questions from April and Bridget, presenters from the cable station on state of the nation said Nigeria should not follow the footsteps of United Kingdom (UK) that legalized same-sex marriage recently. ‘Knowing our penchant for ‘copying’ others I want to plead with Nigerians not to encourage same sex marriage. I don’t hate gay but I don’t support gay marriage either. God does not want it, our culture forbids it. We should not encourage what is not right. This is about defending whatever is left of our culture. Nigeria should not go the way of UK, we are people of culture. I want our legislators to stick to their guns and not legalise what will be eroding our culture and make us godless people’.
He also spoke about family, acting and the lingering AGN crisis. Actors, Chidi Mokeme and Yomi Fash Lanso were at the event to support one of their own.
Vchannel ‘Celebrity Night Out’ holds every other Friday with a major celebrity as guest. He will be put on hot seat to answer questions from presenters of the cable channel and audience. He will then club till late night with friends and fans at the popular mainland hangout, Troy.

Mr Emeka, this actually reveals how shallow minded you are. Gay people are part of the society and are born that way. Why aren’t many Nigerians open minded? Just because you were born straight doesn’t make everyone straight. I see the reason why you dumb people set those Aluu boys on fire. Hmmm, I call this ignorance

Ola can u just listen to urself. Nobody is born gay or as a lesbian. Know that God created everythin male & female. & u dont know more than him. If u are one of them repent from it & turn to God. Failure to do that hell awaits u. That we dont want such way of life does not mean we are ignorant. I rather be ignorant & go to heaven than be so exposed, wild & experimental & go to hell. Its ur decision

Well, if i was, all good. I am straight and would not interfere with anyones social way of life. When i lived in Nigeria, i thought i was the best lol very right whenever i argued. When i left the shores of Nigeria and made new friends ( Gay and straight) then i knew i lived all my life in a zoo called Nigera. I listened, opened my heart, learnt and still learning. Good luck you all.

ola main looking at what you are saying i will asume that you are gay too cus somebody with his actually mind can not say such a shit let me ask you this if your parent were gay will you be able to come into this world and God who create man knew that man need a companion that was y he create a woman to assist him or do you think that God is foolish that he create a woman, ok cum to think of it in the bible wat sin did sodom and gomorh commit in the bible that made God to destroy them with fire. shey the where part of the society and is them same God who create them destroy them cause the refuse to repent.let me correct ola the wheren’t born that way rather the choose to live their lives that way.so mind you if your parent where gay ola you wouldn’t come to existence so stop supporting evil and if you are gay ola you repent.they sins of SODOM AND GOMORH ARE BEGGING FOR VENGANCE IN HEAVEN SO support evil.

My brother emeka Ike God has giving you wisdom to say the right words, at the right time and at the right place, u’re @ the right place to fight for the right thing. Your fight is right God almighty that call you on this mission will fight for you and support you. I though watching Nigeria movies suppose to draw us to God not to sinned against God our creator. Because of our generation we should not encourage bad culture all in the name of making money by destroying what God created. Mr emeka Ike, you will face many battle on this issue but don’t give up because God almighty is with you and your ministry. God bless you sir. I supports you sir ride on.

@ ola: afta looking at d conversation’s u made, u travelling out of nigeria made u worst. U’re 4rm yoruba rite? No wonder u r such an idiot. D gays u knw dat way r dey blacks or white? Do u knw hw d blacks suffered in d hands of whites b4 u were born? Men like martin luther king, malcom x, marcus garvey. They fought so dat u can travel out of naija without hindrances. But u decided 2 us ur freedom as a licence to f**k asses. In yoruba is it not a taboo 4u 2do dat? Just mind ur words. Nigeria’s not a gay country nd ur like’s will not spoil naija 4 us. Mtcheeeew. ASHAWO.
