A Nigerian post graduate student "used science and mathematics" to prove that homosexuality is unnatural.
"I asked myself why should a man be marrying a man and a woman marrying a woman, does it mean that there is no more female for a man to marry or there is no more male for a woman to marry? And recently, Britain told Nigeria to legalize gay marriage of forfeit international aid," Chibuihem Amalaha, the researcher from the University of Lagos, said in a This Day Live article.
"I thank God for our lawmakers who refused to sign the bill legalizing gay marriage. And so God gave me the wisdom to use science as a scientist to prove gay marriage wrong," he said.
In his first experiment, Amalaha determined homosexuality cannot be natural because same poles on a magnet do not attract.
"Even in physics when you study what is called electrostatics, you found that when you rub particles together they don't attract each other but when you rub particle in another medium they will attract each other," Amalaha said. According to the researcher, this also means that a woman could not be attracted to another woman or a man to another man.
Amalaha also attempted to prove his point with chemistry.
"If you bring a base either sodium hydroxide and you pour it on top of a sodium hydroxide you find out that there will be reaction showing that a man on top of a man will have no reaction. A woman on top of a woman will have no reaction, that is what chemistry is showing. Even in chemistry when you also use a process called electrolysis, which is if you use electrolysis of acidilated water, that is water you drop some droplets of acid on it, you found that the negative ions will be attracted to the positive ones while the positive ions will be attracted to the negative ones. So the negative ones are not attracted to their peers," he said.
Amalaha said since one never sees a lion mating with another lion instead of a lioness, biology also proves homosexuality to be unnatural. The researcher made his point with a mathematical formula as well.
MambaOnline responded negatively, calling the article "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. The uncritical and uninformed article is likely to add to the ignorance and prejudice surrounding homosexuality in Nigeria. Current legislation punishes homosexual acts with up to 14 years' imprisonment, or death by stoning in northern regions of the country," MamboOnline stated.
Dr. Henry Boyo at the Department of Physics at the University of Lagos has backed Amalaha's findings.
"You can quote me anywhere, the guy's concept is germane and it has been scientifically proven to be true," he said.
