Controversial academic and writer Dr Stella Nyanzi has reacted to the news of the death of Fr Simon Lokodo, the former ethics and integrity minister.
Lokodo died in Geneva, Switzerland, on January 29. (Read story here).
The cause of Lokodo’s death remains unclear, but some reports claim he succumbed to Covid19. (Read story here).
A defrocked Catholic Church priest, Lokodo was as controversial as he was interesting. (Read his profile here).
To some people like Dr Nyanzi, Lokodo was a persecutor of the LGBTQI community in Uganda, one who hated seeing women free through his anti-miniskirt push and one who sought to police the way people lived their lives.
Nyanzi has now penned a poem celebrating Lokodo’s death and wishing that he rots in hell.
Here’s the poem:
A POEM EULOGISING SIMON LOKODO
1. A Ugandan homophobe died today in Geneva.
I join Uganda’s homose*uals to celebrate his death.
Simon Lokodo, from your hatred we’re delivered.
Oh, how hard you campaigned to legalise queer death!
You joined Ssempa preaching hatred to believers.
You enforced Bahati’s homophia with such rage!
There is no sorrow for your demise.May you rot in hell for your homophobia.
2. A Ugandan misogynist died today in Switzerland.Uganda’s feminists will dance wildly in our mini-skirts.
Lokodo, you shamed women’s bodies in the motherland.
Alas, how craftily you worked to penalise our exposed bodies!
You championed the Anti-Por*ography law in Uganda.
You steered the policing of women’s sensuality and choice.
There is no sorrow for your departure.
May you rot in hell for your misogyny!
We shall dance on the graves of Museveni’s sycophants who oppressed us in the service of Musevenism! Aluta continua…
