An era which appears to have<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">joined us in courtship with strange and unbelievable occurrences;<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">emanating from us happenings we had earlier taken to be the exclusive<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">preserve of those of other climes. It now seems as if the upsurge in<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">unfathomable news is here with us and from us. Suddenly, we are now<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">exporting unbelievable stories from our backyards to the rest of the<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">world. I have no doubt people of those other land we thought are wont to<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">wreck strange acts that made headlines will be shell-shocked to hear the<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">news we are now feeding them.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But why wouldn\u2019t they, when, from within, a good number of us are utterly<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">dumbfounded by what we hear our \u2018compatriots\u2019 do at present. It\u2019s not by<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">mistake that I have elected to question their being compatriot.\u00a0It is<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">simply because the hobby they have adopted as pastime is not only<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">un-Nigerian and un-African, it is verily un-human!<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even those of the Western world who are known to have awkward taste when<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">it comes to sexual relationships will marvel at this new frontier that<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">some Nigerians are unfolding in that field.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I suppose that very much suggests what is bugging my intervention for<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">today. If you still don\u2019t get it; I am pained by the fact that those who<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">should be my countrymen are now settling for dogs and hen as sex mates.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They have condescended from the envious pedestal the Creator placed them<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">into robbing shoulders, nay their sex organs, with dogs and hen. That they<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">would derive sexual satisfaction from mating with these animals, to me,<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">makes them their kind! After all, the word &#8216;mate&#8217; in itself reduces them<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">to becoming the animals\u2019 mate.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">God must be grieving by this inexplicable action of theirs. Must man take<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">to this new low just to make a point of rebelling against God. In fact,<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">satan is a very wicked being! Why must he so grieve God by leading man,<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">who He created in His likeness, into foolishly allowing common animals<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">partake of that privilege. I\u2019m dragging the supernaturals into this<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">because the perpetrators of this terrible act would want us to believe<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">they knew not what led them into committing the abomination. Hence; to<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">them, it is beyond natural.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hear the confession of Jelili Ogunole, who supposedly \u2018raped\u2019 a hen just<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">to sate his sexual craving. \u201cA spirit came over me and I didn\u2019t know what<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was doing again until I finished sleeping with the bird,\u201d he said. Oh!<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He even realised it is a bird. A bird, which I\u2019m sure, the 20-year old<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">must have savoured its broth and have treated its kind, possibly the cock,<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">with disdain and contempt. But should it be a hen, he would lust after it<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and wait till the dead of the night so he can abuse it to death, as was<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">reported.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As if his case wasn\u2019t bizarre enough, still within the same week, we were<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">similarly told of one Ighodaro who was apprehended while raping a dog in<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">an uncompleted building! The 18-year old boy who told that he had done<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">same to five dogs since March this year equally explained that he doesn\u2019t<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">know what led him to do it.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to the pervert, \u201cI don\u2019t know when I slept with the dogs. I<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">slept with dogs five times&#8230; any one that is friendly with me; I take to<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">an uncompleted building and have sex.\u201d I was tempted to saying of this<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">boy, that he defiled a dog. But then I quickly realised how wrong I would<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">have been. The truth remains that the boy used dogs defile himself. A<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">situation that is tantamount to him elevating the dogs to human and then<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">demoting himself to a dog. Same can be said of Jelili.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And if you think they only did themselves in you&#8217;d be wrong.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These two and those in their club actually debauched us all, by<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">disparaging our kind before the community of birds and dogs, thereby<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">equating us with them. Don&#8217;t lose sight of the word: &#8216;mate&#8217;.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They both didn\u2019t know what lured them into it, but they did it anyway! As<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">simplistic as their reason sounds, there are issues that make their excuse<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">not to hold water. This, we shall examine as we progress. Meanwhile, that<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">we just have these two instances of men sexually abusing domestic animals<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">does not mean it is just them that abide by such orientation. I have come<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">to understand that when the media brings a crime to the spotlight, there<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">are many other related cases that must have been going on unnoticed and<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">unreported.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you consider the time and place the perpetrators were caught (late in<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the night in one case, and in an uncompleted building in the other), then<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">would you understand how difficult it will be unearthing all those with<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">this kind of disgusting preferences. Think of those who may be carrying<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">out the act within the confines of their homes and closets when no other<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">person is around them then will understand my point. Thus we shouldn\u2019t<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">play the ostrich by thinking it is just those two there are in our<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">country.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If we then suppose that there are many others involved in such act, then<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">must we ponder on wither decency, morality and sanity in our country.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Considering the speed with which\u00a0 abnormalities morphs to normality in our<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">generation, I hope we won\u2019t get to a stage where this repugnant practice<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">will gain acceptance like homosexuality is now being accepted. Should that<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">come to be, then would we be inadvertently fulfilling the biblical<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">prediction, in Isaiah 4:1, of a time when seven women will grab a man and<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">pressurise him to marry all of them.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you see my submission as inappropriate, what then would you have me<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">say? Of course when we get to the point where some men will freely marry<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">their fellow men with some others taking dogs, hen and possibly goats as<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">wives, then would I not be surprised to see even ten women rushing after<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">one of the remaining straight men to be his wives. Some people may not see<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">that happening since women would also marry their fellow women and<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">possibly make husbands of horses. This, they reckon, will make the whole<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">affair culminate in a draw game.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That leads me to the reason somebody, I discussed the topic with, gave as<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">possible justification why some men are taking to animals as sex-mates. He<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">noted that it is because the rate of lesbianism is too high these days. He<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">alleged that the number of women who would rather sleep with their kind is<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">steadily on the increase. With the attendant difficulty in securing female<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">lovers, some depraved men had to look elsewhere, he argued.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be that as it may, my concern in all of this is for all those who practice<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and experiment with these despicable and highly immoral forms of sexual<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">satisfaction to spare a thought for humanity as they seek to satisfy their<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">libido. It is probable that strange afflictions like the Ebola Virus<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Disease currently plaguing humanity was brought about as a result of such<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">perverse sexual practices.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since the two of the victims so far nabbed claimed they have no idea of<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">what led them into such acts, it then behoves our religious organisations<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">to intensify prayers that would dispatch to the pit of hell that evil<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">spirit that leads willing tools into perpetrating this evil. It calls for<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">wonderment why the number of religious houses would be on the increase<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">without a commensurate reduction in the prevalence of iniquity.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Government itself have a role to play in this. Good enough we already have<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a law we can use in dealing with this new form of crime. Section 214<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sub-Section Two of our law which focussed on Unnatural Offences dictates<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">that any person who has carnal knowledge of an animal is guilty of a<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">felony and he is liable for imprisonment for 14 years when found guilty.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Teeth should then be given to this law to deter people from getting<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">themselves into such an offence. Lastly, every well-meaning individual<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">should condemn the act in the strongest of terms. For if we just dismiss<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the matter with a wave of the hand, then will we be welcoming it into our<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">social fabric.
