...have their opinions, to actually use another human being for the duration of the remaining part of their life as a whipping post for what they think should have happened is a cruelty that really has no excuse. If I look at a review that's less in favor of something, it's funny - a good review goes over the head, and a bad review goes through my heart.

Fabeni also asserts that on February 14, during a discussion of the issue, the Christian Association of Nigeria, to which Akinkola's church belongs, argued in favor of letting the penalties remain. In any case the old version, with penalties, has already passed two readings in both houses of the National Assembly, and will become law if it passes a third reading in the Senate. The deciding vote could take place at any time within the next...
