“I don’t support gay marriage, God does not like it” – Emeka Ike

Emeka Ike has stated categorically that he does not
support any plan to legalise gay marriage in Nigeria,
as it is against God’s will.
The Nollywood actor, who is on a self-imposed
sabbatical from the movie industry, was responding to
questions at Vchannel Celebrity Night Out at Troy
Lounge in Lagos.
He said: “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.
