Goal celebrations and homosexuality deliberations

Posted by trae_z on January 25th, 2006

This post is meant to clear the storm about homosexuality that has been raging on TRAE days. Don’t even bother yourself with trying to keep the storm going cos I’ll delete your comment. If you want to discuss homosexuality, do it on your blog.

Jeremy and Owukori misinterpreted my statements and started this storm. When I said “lesbos probably need a dick whipping” I meant that lesbians would most likely have a change of heart on their sexual orientation if they had mind blowing sex with a guy.

If I’ve hurt anybody in the process I’m sincerely sorry. But I still don’t think homosexuality is cool. Since it matters so much to a lot of people what I think about gays, I’m ready to change my mind if the price is right. In the end it’s all about the Naira you know.

For peeps who still think I’m homophobic check this: I’ve started reading afrohomo’s blog! Dude’s writing is simply captivating! And also check this:

I flow straight and precise, like a man killing device/
Fuck with me I’ll take your life, cos my heart’s as cold as ice/
My mouth’s raw as Obie Trice, I love dykes I ain’t biased/
Wanna battle (me)? Come on be wise, I’ll fuck you (up) like a fly ass/

“Dyke” is a slang term for a lesbian.

Thanks for all the love and hate. And Yes I still think hip hop and soccer is life. If you think otherwise, keep it to yourself. It’s a free world.

Although I’m not much of a soccer player, soccer is still the love of my life. It’s the greatest sport in the world! One of the things I really like about it is the celebration that ensues when a goal is scored. It’s not a high scoring sport like basketball so goal celebrations are really wild. The crowd goes crazy and the goal scorer (along with his team mates) gets to celebrate in (almost) any way they like. I’m really really loving the goal celebrations in the on-going African Cup of Nations. Most of them involve a little dance and right now they are the coolest thing on earth!

See Nigeria’s Taye Taiwo’s celebration after scoring against Ghana.
See Côte d’Ivoire’s Drogba’s celebration after scoring against Libya.
See Senegal’s Henry Camara’s celebration after scoring against Zimbabwe.

The list goes on. For my Nigerians who want to get every detail about our ACN campaign Kickoffnigeria.com and forum.cybereagles.com are the very places to be at. Peace!

    Well at least you’ve apologised and had a rethink. I think some at least will be thankful for that. I think what will really change your mind is when you have a gay friend (from some of the comments it sounds like you already have one!) The journey towards open-mindedness involves challenging one challenging one’s own in-built prejudices (we all start out with ‘em).

    But I wonder why you deleted my last comment? Isnt the misogyny and commodification of hip-hop a worthy discussion?

    Hahahahaha, you are getting the heat from gays, ehn! :P I won’t be surprised!

    Like I said in my comment, let them be! If you don’t accept their way of life, don’t front towards them. They have a ‘right’ to live that way, but in the end, we’d all know if it’s all worth it!

    I’m impressed that you had the courage to apologise, that isn’t always easy. Especially when it is something that people feel so strongly about! Thanks for the tips on where to follow the Nigerian ACN effort. Information is practically non-existent in NYC.

    dude, we didnt say you had to fall in love with gay dudes … but about the super eagles …

  • david January 27, 2006 at 1:08 pm

    Hey, I am glad that you have started reading my blog. I think your writing rocks too!

    Gay people are not asking for love from everybody. We are just asking for respect (we are human beings too)!

    Keep up the naija blogging revolution!

    Why all the hullaballo about the young man’s opinion?

  • Naijadude February 9, 2006 at 3:26 am

    Anyways, its his opinion like they said but you dont have to make your opinions sound like “Hate”, express it in a conservative point of view, not throwing words of hate.. But its all good dude apologised!!!

    I just wanted to mention that our Sports Section is also a good place to look for discussions on African Cup of Nations.

    “Don’t even bother yourself with trying to keep the storm going cos I’ll delete your comment.
    Hey, Trae, are you into censorship now? :-)
