The World Bank Shouldn't Use Its Funds To Lure Africans To Accept Same-Sex.

The World Bank Shouldnt Use Its Funds To Lure Africans To Accept Same-Sex.

So, what is the World Bank trying to tell us? Can't the sovereignty of Uganda be respected by the World Bank simply because the people are poor and may rely on external sources for funding or what?

It's a shame that an institution like the World Bank is assisting others to force down the throats of some kind of alien and obnoxious cultural practices that are not acceptable to the people. Can the World Bank compel European countries that do not accept men marrying more than two wives to do that?

The World Bank is acting like the earlier missionaries who hid behind the Bible to mete out all manner of brutalities to Africans in the name of civilization through colonialism. It's a known fact that the earlier missionaries aided the spread of slavery by preaching what they didn't practice themselves. For it's said in the Holy Book that thy shall not kill, but they killed many innocent poor Africans who were taken slaves. Some were cruelly fed to sharks and whales on the high seas as they were being taken to Europe and other places.

The World Bank shouldn't bring back those harrowing experiences the Africans have lived with all these years. The pain and bitterness have only been suppressed but not completely forgotten and any attempt to control the way the African lives will spark a series of endless oconflictscts across the globe.

The Africans maybe weak and lacks sophisticated weapons to fight against the well-developed countries in the world but it doesn't mean Africans are stupid and can't resist absurdity when it's been forced on them. Therefore, it's about time the West and Europeans respected Africans and allow them to run their respective sovereign countries the way each deems good for themselves.

What the World Bank is telling us today is that it can control our ways of life. It can make us do what it wants at any time even if it's against our will. The practice of same-sex and its other related acts isn't only a question of religious beliefs but moral defective in the face of the African culture and it can't and shouldn't be allowed to survive.

The World Bank already has numerous unfavourable conditions attached to the funds it gives to African countries. However, if this stupid practice of same-sex is added to the conditions of the World Bank, then many morally upright Africans will prefer to go hungry and die rather than accept this act of foolishness. What is even the human right one has that should one to act contrary to the laws of one's country? And how can a few selected people in society be allowed to influence others with their wayward lifestyle that is highly destructive to the development of many others?

The governments in Africa can't allow the practice of same-sex to increase their budget expenditures. The practice of same-sex has rippling consequences on the health of those who practice it. It's said that the spread of HIV-AIDS is pervasive among gays in society. Aside from the cost of treating these people infected by HIV-AIDS, those who are affected turn to deplete the human capital ratio of their various countries. Therefore, allowing same-sex and its related acts to go on in any country means the country is prepared to take up the huge financial burden of providing health care to gay people. So, why should a country that can't shoulder such unnecessary expenditure allow the practice of same-sex?

Finally, let the World Bank be told that Uganda and other African countries reason properly and understand the purpose of God's creation. And we will never exchange what God has ordained with what man thinks is right. And even if they think it is right, they shouldn't force others to see it that way. Since our polygomous marriage is frown upon by the West and Eruope, so do we see the practice of this animalistic same-sex.

Also, since we don't compel the West or Europe to accept certain cultural practices observe here in the Africa. Continent, they shouldn't bring their madness to us and expect us to consume it without questions.

They can keep their funds as we keep our morality which grants us a healthy lifestyle, respect for God's wishes, and the protection of our human capital.

Africans are watching!!!
