Ezea Chukwudi wrote an open letter to popular writer Chimamanda Adichie. In this letter the author reasons about anti-gay law and Chimamanda's judgments. Read the full text below:
Before
I start I would like to ask you to ignore my grammatical errors. I’m
not a writer so I have no reputation to protect in terms of grammatical
errors. I write principally in response to your article on anti-gay law.
I would really plead for your patience to calmly read my own view.
I
have never read your article before now. I have heard of your
reputation in writing and I had already rated you even when I had never
read your articles. Unfortunately your sense of judgment is being
questioned when I gave you the chance to create an impression because
I’m not a type that takes a second chance to make a good impression.
I
want you to understand that the Story of Sochukwuma is what you created
just to spice up your writing and you didn’t tell us that Sochukwuma
wanted to be gay. Nevertheless, I would like to share
a similar story.
When I was younger, there was a man called Amechi. He had the same
nature with Sochukwuma but he has five children now. A friend of mine
called Dera has the same nature and he is called ladies man because he
has girlfriends and he intends to settle down soon. Obinna has two
girlfriends and he’s also currently dating one of the Nollywood
actresses.
You
are an enlightened woman and you should not use your education to
spread ignorance, you don’t really have to deceive people into accepting
evil in the name of human right. As a woman, I expect you to write what
you can defend before God.
You spoke
like you are a puppet in the hands of western people, because they
support gay, you have to do so but that doesn’t make it right. What is
really democracy? Is it really all about protecting the minority as you
said even when minority are hell bent in turning Nigeria into Sodom and
Gomorah. Is that really democracy? Human right is a Greek gift from
satan. What is human right when it is against the Creator? We abuse
nature in the name of human right and even legalizing gay is abuse of
human right. Should everybody do what they wish to do because human
right backs them up? Is there any religion that support it or do your
culture support it? Even nature abhors it.
Do
you believe in morality? Should human right violate morality? You
talked of gay people being different, normal and you still support what
is not normal to be legalised. You write to fight against nature and
God’s plan for creation.
When you said
that passing anti-gay law was an indication of a failed democracy in
Nigeria, I laughed because was it not a failed democracy when the
western world threatened to withdraw their financial aid to any African
country that signs anti-gay law. Does that mean Africa must accept what
they impose on us, does that mean we don’t have the right to choose the
way we wish to live. You should have supported the African minority
rather than Western majority. I think you should show balance in your
judgment.
It was laughable when you
said homosexual is not a crime because it has no victim. You equally did
not answer why prostitution, gambling, illicit use of drugs, suicide
are crimes when they have no victim. You equally failed to answer why
abortion is legalized even when it has a victim. Amanda, are you a
virtuous woman? Would you want your daughter to marry another woman and
your son to marry another man? Did you really write with conscience?
If
gay is legalised then bestiality should also because there is no crime,
because there is no victim. It will be also be undemocratic if
bestiality don’t have their own right and if bestiality have their
right, what do you want this world to turn into? And I don’t think you
would wish your children to marry dogs.
This
is anti-humanity. You said there were gay people in Nigeria before you
were born, that’s because your existence was possible because your
parents were not and same sex marriage was not legal. Just imagine a
sharp rise in population of same sex marriage if it is legalised.
Supporting same sex marriage is denying unborn ones the right to exist
or don’t they deserve the privileged like you?
It
could have been awesome if you had suggested how to heal them and make
them normal rather than legalizing it as you claim they were not normal.
If you really have good conscience you should have suggested how we can
make them normal not encouraging them to remain abnormal.
If
I ask your opinion on murder, you will say it is evil but which evil is
more than murdering the souls of men. I would like to ask you, are you
working for the devil? Are you bringing souls to God or to the devil?
Are you working for a devilish innovation of the new world order?
Many
ignorant people are giving you great ovation after reading your article
but God will ask you the blood of the souls that will end up in hell
because of what you sent to the public. You compare homosexual with
fornication. Between two evils, one is better. Fornication is evil but
it is not against nature because it involves two opposite sex, it can
have good end product like marriage and child birth but what is the good
end product in homosexuality? Anti-nature, anti-humanity, extinction of
man kind? Is that your wish for the world? Why are we fighting for
natural conservation if not for continuity?
You
don’t have to write because you have the right and knowledge to do so
but there should be sanctity in what you write. I know you know how to
write but your pride should not make you think you know better than your
Creator, Leviticus 18:22. If really your opinion about same sex
marriage is from your honest heart then the similarity between you and
human being is just coincidental. Someone needs morality, see the person
in the mirror.
