It’s not our culture in Africa, simple, Europe and America needs to get this their heads, just like they oppose polygamy
Africa is our business,human rights chief keep off
Congratulations Ghana for standing up to America and these western corrupted world
As an American I actually completely agree with you.
God bless the Ghanian President, may our Heavenly Father protect, shield continue to guide and blanket you and your family with HIS everlasting FIRE. Amen!!!
It's very funny how the video started with people protesting in the west but not a video of lgbtq activists from Ghana 😂.
Exactly! 😂
I thank God the bill is passed. Ghana for GOD.
Same here. Amen from Buffalo NY. ❄️❄️❄️
Stupid Caption, read the bill first. This is not new, it's already an illegal act in Ghana. Ghanaians are happy and that's all that matters.
I'm proud of Ghana and Ghanaians especially Sam George
This is already imbued in our norms. We don't do that here. Ministers representing their constituencies all over Ghana made this decision in parliament because that's what the people are saying. We don't want this here. This bill wasn't passed just because one person autocratically decided . It was a consensual agreement. Ministers of various constituencies voted and I think the world should respect it. The citizens have spoken.
Amen
Well said
Congratulations to Ghana 🇬🇭! Independence!
F Europe and their nasty ways
Except when Africans want to migrate to Europe in mass, then it's ok .
Europe and the West is what modernized Ghana. Get real!
@@paranoidhumanoid wait you think LGBT is modernization?
lol 😂
The attempt to gaslight is very weak! I’m much too strong for that nonsense; but you are welcome to try again! Next time come with a valid argument… lol clown 🤡

Secondly Russia is offer Rocker technology ( for both defence and space research)
Nuclear technology for both defence and domestic power use
Russia is also offering fertilizer for local foods etc.
And doing all that without interfering with domestic politics..
Also add China to that list!
Ghana needs to make decisions that are best for the future of Ghana!
Russia provided China with the same and now China is a Superpower
Russia provided India with the same and India is a Superpower
Than add Iran and North Korea both nations are slowly raising
So you are afraid Ghana will be the next Superpower.. lol
Dear Ghanaians so let these demons scare you from raising!
Well done Ghana!
The president is well aware of the overwhelming endorsement of the Ghanaian citizens for this bill to become law and it phenomenal catastrophic effect on any leader or political party that stand oppose to this bill, especially when elections are at the corner. The president has only consenting view remaining for him at this critical moment.
My respect for the people of Ghana is absolutely skyrocketing 📈📈📈🚀🚀🚀
What a historic law....
😢 ungodly.
I AGREE 💯
Point of fact, this, as well as the similar law passed in Uganda, is very Godly.
These people should stop focusing on Ghanaian laws. This is going to make it worse for the people they claim to care about. Western governments cannot dictate to other countries in the world.
For example am Nigerian, I have never heard of anyone being imprisoned for homosexuality. Am not saying it can never happen. These people putting a focus on it by trying to force their own norms can only make the situation worse.
who is so call UN and tell Ghanians what to do boshit
1:17 the maps shows that the African nations that are the most modern and most economically viable are those without penalties and restrictions against LGBT. Y'all are chasing the wrong issues.
I'm not sure what ghana priorities are? Are Ghanaian really happy the anti bill pass vs the economy? Crisis? Job? Inflation? Cost? Roads? Flood? And so on. All the things that need change and they pass a bill like that.
What do you really mean? In actual fact what does men having sex through their anuses and women having sex with dogs have to do with economy? Tell me. Africans are busy working to undo the harm caused unjust world order. No one should bother them to accept deviant habits of a few odd people. Democracy doesn't mean ANYTHING GOES.
How is that your business? What have your criminal Western countries done for Ghana if not stealing natural resources? Thieves
It is a country of a big joke.
As if people can not deal with multiple problems. Wtf are you talking about. The bill passes happy days now we move on to the next thing. Lol your acting like the bill is a distraction. We pass it and move on end of.
Morals and cultural preservation over everything is the way to go.
Same-sex marriages have no place in Ghanaian culture. It might take a very long time before Ghanaians can come to terms with same-sex marriages.
There is no such thing as a same sex marriage.
It's time to go spread some freedom to Africa I want to spread some freedom we're going to spread some freedom
The headline is freakingly misleading. The sanctions for any person who goes contrary to this bill soon to be passed into law is 3 years or less. Where from decades
Dont mind them. Wick*d people allways deceivin
I'm a LGtb.
So = 👎
Don’t be showing this your depravity in public
This bill is going to impact negatively on the Ghanaian economy as it may attract sanctions. I think people should be allowed to live no matter their sexual orientation
Slapping sanctions for someone’s choice is devilish, and I can see you love it
we have soft power , they force Ghana , they will have a tougher stay in West Africa. Ghana has a lot of friends including China, Iran , Cuba , Russia, Brazil n lots of Caribbean counties
What sanctions. Africa is bigger than the whole of america, china, India, and Europe put together.
The west need Africa and Africans do not need the west.
Where are all the arable lands in the world, where are most minerals in the world, all in Africa.
But we have been blinded, deceive and trick, oppress and enslaved for far too long and we don't know what we have anymore.
Times are changing.
We are powerful and super power countries but do not know as Africans
So money before moral values??
You are very stoopid@@theworld7094
Ghana is so backwards.
It is backward indeed. See what they are wasting their time on. What appended to rights of the citizenry. Shaking my head.
Instead of empowering citizens to build the country up, they waste time and resources on things that don't have a direct impact on economy and commerce. This is how you know their current priorities are going to pull them backwards another 10-20 years. They were doing so well up this point.@@lovebee146
Go away take those people to your countries. Or go to the arabs and tell them to change their laws too. See how that turns out for you.
Morality over progress is good
Africa is only homophobic because of Europe's religious colonization. They should worry less about the freedom of others, backward country.
That is a big mistake.
Yes! That it took this long!
I AGREE 💯
@balsarmy
you should have been there when praying to God was a death penalty in Babylon . You would understand your opinion is only as powerful to your jurisdiction . keep quiet
Is never a big mistake our believe and culture frowns on it
So maintaining our culture is a big mistake? Just because you westerners have destroyed your culture doesn't mean we should too.
Good law…
