Mais que fait Platini ?
Over the past two years, as Nigeria progressed toward the Women’s World Cup, which begins Sunday in Germany, Uche said that she has used religion in an attempt to rid her team of homosexual behavior, which she termed a “dirty issue,” and “spiritually, morally very wrong.”
“As economies have stagnated in countries like Nigeria and Uganda and many people have lost faith in progress, they have increasingly turned to conservative interpretations of Christianity and Islam, said Marc Epprecht, a historian who is the acting head of the department of global development studies at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and has researched gender and sexuality in Africa.
Homophobia is an easy way to simplify the message of these churches,” Epprecht said. “ ‘Our church is more moral than that one. Come join us. You can have a good life on earth if you follow strict, simple beliefs.’ ”
