Nigerian Student Chibuihem Amalaha 'Uses Science To Prove Gay Marriage Is Wrong'

A student in Nigeria is claiming he can prove
gay marriage is wrong through science - and
his scientific "breakthrough" is backed by his
university.
Chibuihem Amalaha, who has won awards in
his country for reporting on energy science
and featured on various national television
stations, says he used a magnet experiment to
prove homosexuality is "improper".
Amalaha says his "groundbreaking"
experiments show the north and south poles of
two magnets are attracted to each other while
same poles repel each other.
He concludes this “means that man cannot
attract another man because they are the
same, and a woman should not attract a
woman because they are the same. That is how
I used physics to prove gay marriage wrong".
Amalaha's "research" has been commended by
the University of Lagos, where he is a
postgraduate student, and has been told by
lecturers he will "win a Nobel prize one day".
The interview with the student was published
on Nigerian website This Day Live, where his
findings appear to be presented as fact.
"A University of Lagos post graduate student,
Chibuihem Amalaha, from Imo State has used
science to prove that gay marriage is improper
among other breakthroughs, writes Charles
Ajunwa," the article states. "He talked about
his researches and scientific breakthroughs
with the confidence of an achiever..
"..And now his works have earned him the
respect in the world of science."
South African gay lifestyle website
Mambaonline.com slammed the interview,
saying it was "absurd".
"It’s debatable as to whether the embarrassing
article is more damming of the standard of
education at the University of Lagos or of the
standard of journalism at This Day," criticises
writer Luiz DeBarros. "The uncritical and
uninformed article is likely to add to the
ignorance and prejudice surrounding
homosexuality in Nigeria."
Nigeria's laws on homosexual acts are
notoriously harsh; current legislation punishes
homosexual acts with up to 14 years in jail, or,
in some northern regions of the country, death
by stoning.
