I Will Kill My Son If He Identifies As Gay - Mayor Of Nkanu

The comment, “If pikin wey I born try this… if em dey earth pass 2 weeks, make una know say I be idiot,” reflects a harmful, violent mindset that rejects empathy in favor of brutality. Threatening one’s own child over their identity not only perpetuates fear but causes emotional and psychological harm. Such reactions deepen societal divides and prevent meaningful conversations about personal struggles and self-acceptance.

While many people hold beliefs about what is “designed by nature,” responding with violence is never the answer. Constructive dialogue, grounded in love and patience, offers a healthier way to engage with differences. Encouraging open conversations helps individuals navigate complex identities without fear, fostering understanding and compassion rather than rejection.
