Omololu-Olunloyo also wants the government to know that President Buhari's visit to the United States should have addressed this law and not brushed it aside with American President Obama. "America is not telling us to legalize gay marriage, they are only telling us that when you have law abiding citizens going about their own business not bothering anyone, they should not be scrutinized and stripped of their rights of being themselves." Omololu-Olunloyo also spoke about last week's denouncing of homophobia by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who lashed out at the stabbing attack at an Israeli Gay Pride rally injuring teens. Netanyahu stated that he will continue to lead his cuntry against hatred and homophobia. Israel ironically is a country Nigerians flock to for their annual Christian pilgrimages. "Contrary to popular belief, God does not hate gays" she said and "does not call anyone with a generic name" as she cited a pro gay tweet by Pope Francis. She advices Nigerian lawmakers to listen to the tough messages President Barack Obama delivered at the African Union Summit about African leaders with anti-gay laws during his trip to Kenya and Ethiopia in July 2015. "Hate should never reign in Nigeria. This is why we have such groups like Boko Haram killing many in Northern Nigeria. We must stop fostering hate and stop human rights abuses. Hate is un-African" she stated. Omololu-Olunloyo is not a lesbian as some have contemplated. End
