Magagiya Hajia Hawah Garba Queen of the Zango Community at Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region, has asked parents to closely momitor the activities of their children to ensure that they do not become victimes of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex plus (LGBTQI+).

According to her, it is about time all well-meaning people became inquisitive wherever there were children to save them from the claws of those who engaged in such abominable acts in this country.

Speaking in an interview with The Spectator, the Magagiya said what children watched on television or other audio visual materials, who they listened to or associated with, whether age mates or adults should not be taken for granted because one could not be sure about who had plans on passing on the practice of LGBTQ I+ activities to unsuspecting children. 

She said any changes in a child which looked suspicious as far as the subject was concerned should be attended to as swiftly as possible because it was always better to deal with negative developments at the early stages.

In her opinion, the most unfortunate thing that could happen to any child was to become LGBTQ I+ a trend she described as devilish and unacceptable because the Holy Quran abhored it outright.

She said sleeping with the same sex was something that even animals knew was wrong and, therefore, questioned why humans who were supposed to know the difference between right and wrong would stoop so low to engage in it and worse of all try to get others on board instead of being ashamed and clandestine about it.

She said it was time all persons who believed in procreation and the well being of humanity got on board to fight the emerging trend by not allowing evil to triumph over good.

magagiya Garba said the activities of LGBTQ I+ persons should be condemned but all efforts should be made to convince them based on the teachings of Islam and every good religion to do what has right because “man was made for woman woman for man and not man for man or woman for woman”. 

She said the teachings of Allah must prevail over the advocacy towards LGBTQI+ so that the world did not suffer the consequences of the irresponsibility of a few people.
