President Mills to David Cameron: Ghana won’t legalise homosexuality

| November 2, 2011 | 9 Comments

The President of Ghana, John Evans Atta Mills, has said the Prime Minister of UK, David Cameron, has no right to direct anti-gay and sovereign African countries to legalise homosexuality in order to continue receiving aid.

He said Britain cannot tell Ghana what to do, adding that the country would not in any way bow to such pressure because it is at variance with the country’s constitution.

“I as President of this nation would never initiate or support any attempt to legalise homosexuality in Ghana,” President Mills told the press at the Castle, Osu. “As a government we will abide by the principles enshrined in the constitution which is supreme.”

Ghana’s laws like many African countries frown on homosexuality and lesbianism, but the UK PM has threatened to cut aid to African countries whose laws are stiff on gays.

The Prime Minister’s comment has been received with strong condemnation from a lot of Ghanaians asking the UK to keep its aid if such conditionality is enforced.

President Mills said on Wednesday that Ghana would go by the constitution because legalising homosexuality has the tendency to destroy the moral fibre of society.

He said UK can keep its aid if it would attach such conditionalities.

“Let me make one thing very clear, no one can deny Prime Minister Cameron his right to make policies, take initiatives or make statements that reflect his societal norms and ideals, but he does not have the right to direct other sovereign nations as to what they should do especially when their societal norms are different,” President Mills pointed out.

“Let me also state that while we acknowledge all the financial assistance and aid by our development partners, we would not accept any aid with strings attached if that aid will not inure to our interest or the implementation of that aid with strings attached would worsen our plight as a nation or destroy the very society that we want to improve. ”

  1. Cameron is but a stupid, ignorant fool, who would love to dictate for the wise. this dirty bitch should shut up and try sort his downhill moving country.who the hell do these people think they are? talking about AID, what freaking aid have they ever given Africa? damn thieves. Ghanaians should wake up realise that these fools from europe only make these threats when they are planning evil. its about time our leaders focused on Africa, and stop bowing to these imperialist countries. How many Ghanaians have gained anything from the so-called aid? they put money into individual’s pocket to win contracts and then through the contracts they steal all of our resources thereby making back their money x 10. Cameron is a thwart and no one should listen to him. i just cant wait for that day when Africans with one voice will stop supplying our natural resource to these western thieves

    It is time African leaders should got their acts together,and remind the likes of hypocritical British that era of slave trade is over.The present globe is interwoven thus no country can live in isolation’ ,Nevertheless its an open market and  if the cammelon (cameron)  thinks African must be dictates to in order to rubbish our cherished culture and sense of morality.they should put in their proper place.How dare you to tell us to legalise gay in our continent? 
    Why is it that these fools think Africans cannot reason on their own.The more we ask them to come and monitor our elections,and intervene in our internal crises then they have the right to dictate to us.How many times has this idiots ask African to monitor their elections,because they think we have no brains,we are only useful during the war to fight their enemy.who is always our African brother nations.

    Kudos to the true son of Africa president mills,for asking the vagabond to hold unto his aid.china or japan will never give such outrageous condition before they can trade or assist   you.Hence the reason for their economy growth.
    Let look somewhere else for partner among the Asian countries and see how we shall be treated as a partner and with respect instead of being look down upon by these hypocrites,whose economy power is fast diminishing.

    I am not Ghanian but I am completely astonished to what David Cameron had said. These European countries are threatening to cut aid to Africa because of homosexuality? Well done President John Evans Atta Mills. These are the reasons why Africa should not be tolerating these European countries. Africans we shouldn’t depend on these people, by depending on them they want to dictate us.

    The lands that have embraced immorality as a way of life live to face the consequences; moral decadence, high rate of divorce, loss of family values, hatred, unforgiveness, intolerance, pride, zoophilia, bestiality, sodomy and strange acts that surpass human comprehension. “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” [Romans 6:16]. Yes, it is from the bible and the foundation of democracy, love, respect, understanding and unity. Not abnormality and foolishness, reasoning that even a child would bewail.

    Whatever you submit yourself to as servant will be your master. You may claim you were born so, created so or developed so, whatever so as reasons. There is the human standard, of which you do not need a prime minister, officer or even a parent to tell you. You already know because its in you. Its natural, which is normal. But when men twist common sense and human standard, they could turn to be anything. They would tend to degrade themselves to nothingness due to the lust that burn in them. These strange lusts are abnormal and are illnesses. They need to be treated and not to be done otherwise. Moreover, when you play against nature, you don’t miss its consequence.

    The West can boost of technology and organisation but not morality, love and happiness. Technology is incompatible with these values. Unfortunately, they’ve tried tampering morality and human standard and are today reaping the fruits. Son abandon his sweet mother at old age. Daughter lack simple respect for her dad who loved him till death. “I do”, “I do” he/she says on the alter and later on “it’s over” “because I’ve found my true love”. Then again, I’ve found my better true love and it continues. Unfortunately, lust is confused with love. Patience killed. Tolerance slained. Forgiveness murdered. Covenant broken. If life is just for selfish interest, then it would collapse. How about the poor children?

    Family values are declared death. Oh! The so great a value is now trodden under foot. The values through which we came to life is hated – how can we then increase and multiply. That that nurtures us to know whom we are and live up to what we are. That that teaches us to do good and eschew evil. That that tells us our history and to love our land. She is despised, the hedge of her home has been broken “and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” [Ecclesiastes 10:8] “Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin” [Psalms 89:40].

    Should we not rather moan and seek to repair, yet we celebrate celebrities who know not their left from their right, victims of the broken hedges? Are they not called our so-called mentors, filling the magazines with unpleasantness, feeding our minds with poisons, breaking our homes and making us to see another beyond our loved spouses? The trend continues; presidents, president’s wives, governors, teachers, great men all brought to the dust because our societies have been charged with immorality and nakedness. They are placed by the seats as we commute; beamed for us as we take our lunch, even sneaked into our computers just before our eyes. They are imported to various part of the world. Our fashion is next to nude, our notion dirty. Our future uncertain. Our technology can’t help, neither can too much learning do. Just common sense and simple sincerity.

    If our memories or technology fails us to recall how our good old parents lived in those good old days, we may turn to so called developing lands that still retain some morality and learn. Learn to teach our teen to remain virgins until its time instead of bombarding them with too much sexuality claiming to help. Learn to teach women the pride and greatness of a mother and not to propagate old women changing their bodies to sexy so called. Learn to teach spouses how to forgive and love till death do them part. And learn to teach leaders to read the book of wisdom so as to lead their people with truthfulness and faithfulness. Many rule today with wisdom that will fail such that lack the definition of human life, dignity and standard. “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.[ James 3:15].

    Civilization must not interfere (negatively) with human life, dignity and standard to thrive. If it does, then it will collapse. Imagine a world without forgiveness, love, and understanding. A world where a cat is more important than a human, a world where good is called evil and evil good. It’s going to be a new world and no righteous man can be there, world of zombies, no common sense, no sound reasoning, no virtues, no values, no joy and no peace. Laws will have completely changed, patriotism may have been extinguished, the words; family, mother, father may not even be known. Children will no more be called children but newcomers and beginners. The world would be a crazy world. But some would not be there then.
