Science: 1, Gays: 0

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.

gays  annihilated.

You know, imperialism wasn't so bad. 

[Diunx]

Yeah well, the verdict is still out on science...

[Himu]

he WOULD be nigerian.

[Himu]

Reminds me of the muslims I knew a few years back who joined science fields to prove God is Real (tm).

[Human Snorenado]

he WOULD be nigerian.

[Himu]

Who knew that FUCKING MAGNETS would solve the mystery to the gay agenda. ICP WAS RIGHT

[fistfulofmetal]

yeah science bitch!

"a man on top of a man will have no reaction"

I think Huff would disagree with that.

[Your Stalker]

You should post this to gaf.

"a man on top of a man will have no reaction"

I think Huff would disagree with that.

dont be mad i've gone further with dudes than you have with anything

[Great Rumbler]

Obligatory:

[Joe Molotov]

What's the science on just kicking it with a dude, but ain't trying to marry one?

[StealthFan]

Hey look a black man hating homos.

Never seen that before

I ain't mad, I'm just rustling some feathers.

I always hold the stance that it's incredibly ironic for a black person (or any other race-based minority) to discriminate against homosexuals. And this man's science is as laughable as religious conservatism.

[Your Stalker]

i really dont see whats ironic about that tbh

He's from Nigeria. This man ain't no minority.

 science ruins  Pluto,  dinosaurs,  and now the gays.

That distinguished black Liberace prolly wants to continue drilling them chocolate holes without any long-term worries.

I have a counterpoint. Take two different shapes for magnets. I think it will be obvious which each represents:



If you take two donut magnets, at first they might repel each other. But if you position them a certain way there is no prying them apart. The same goes for two rod shaped magnets. However, if you try to stick a rod magnet into the donut magnet, it will go shooting out. Those two magnets repel each other, if you want them together you have to force it. Ergo, people should be bumping donuts or bumping rods.

Your move Nigeria

It may not apply in this case, but I get what you mean and it's a shame. Poverty doesn't make people noble, either, though I like to believe that there's at least a little decrease in general human assholishness when you are or spent some time at the outer fringes of society.

[chronovore]

he WOULD be nigerian.

Man, I can just see the next round of 419 scams:

Dear, Mssr. Chronovore, I am writing to you on behalf of deceased researcher what made a NOBEL PRICE and dyed before he could collect the PRICE MONEY. As I know you are a TRUSTWORTY MAN, I have been instructed by his estate...
