Slavery has been abolished; independence has sacked the colonial masters from Africa, and the Apartheid system of government has collapsed in South Africa.

Therefore, Western Europe and the US government are desperate always looking for means through political strategy to come closer to Africa’s rich resources.

It is not a secret that in the past decade, the US government and Western Europe have to bribe many rich resources countries in the third-world to legalize homosexuality.

This is one of the reasons today Ghana is facing the imposition of legalization of same-sex marriage on the country. Do we have to accept this nonsense?

The question is why Ghana if many countries around the world are not interested in same-sex marriage? Below are some countries not interested in the legalization of homosexuality, therefore, Ghana must follow them to reject it.

In Africa, Algeria, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Comoros, Egypt, Eritrea, Eswatini (Swaziland), Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Libya, Malawi, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
