its time to kick homophobia out of football

This coming weekend, top European leagues will join the LGBT community in the campaign against homophobia. I am happy for the initiative that would eventually open up the sport to everyone. As we match towards the attainment of such,  a lot needs to be done. Back in 2015, I posted the following article on my Blog. It's time to kick out homophobia Football is a game that has made people of diverse heritage converge . Things have not always worked for the 13th player for every team. Team Managers have always tried to open up the stadium for everyone.  The war against the unwanted ball rolling inside field of play has continued despite the setbacks. A lot has been said but who really needs to make this possible? Is the topic debatable ? Is it possible to win the war against homophobia in Africa? How does the domestic leagues kick the homophobia out of the stadiums and open the game to everybody? To begin with, Arsenal FC team in London UK initiated Arsenal For Everyone initiat

Hillary Clinton statement on Equality

One hundred and sixty-seven years ago today, brave women and men gathered in Seneca Falls to sign their names to what, at the time, was a radical statement: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal. Thanks to the movement that took root in Seneca Falls and continued through generations of tireless effort, women can now vote, earn and keep our wages, own property, serve in the military, and hold elected office. But our journey towards equality continues, and there's much more we can accomplish together. So today, I’m asking you to pledge your support to keep working for equality. Let's work together to build a nation where women earn equal pay, no matter the color of our skin. A country where women have the tools and support they need to participate in the economy, including paid family leave, access to child care, and the ability to make our own reproductive health decisions. Let's build a country where a woman can be president.

WHY THE HOMOSEXUALITY PRACTISE IS NOT A WIN FOR THOSE OPPOSSED.. For many years, Africa has been described as a dark continent. It has perfected the assumption by clinging onto the outdated practices that have caused intense damages to generations that come at a later stage. Despite the fact that dangers that come with FGM, many communities supported by their own leaders have continued promoting the vice that has left our girls not sure whether they deserve to be in this world.

President Museveni, A champion of Equality in Uganda

Following the rejection of the infamous bill by President Yoweri Museveni came at a time when Africans are fighting to unite under the same banner of lasting peace and unity. I don’t know where to start from but the words of the Kenyan president of the Supreme Court and the chief justice, Dr. Willy Mutunga of the need for East African legislative bodies to create laws which do not contradict with the provision of the bill of rights and liberties.  Dr. Mutunga while in Uganda shortly after he was appointed as Chief Justice in Kenya, he stressed that East Africa should give a clear blueprint in the implementation of the human rights. He argued that the controversy that does exist in the individual constitutions should not be used at the expense of human rights adding that gay rights are human rights too. While working for Ugandan Media, the subject of whether Gay Rights are human rights or not was deemed as ‘not to talk about issue’.   I remember protesting to Giles Muhame
