President Jonathan yesterday Monday Jan.
13th reportedly signed a bill that
criminalizes same-sex relationships and gay
rights groups in Nigeria. The bill contains
penalties of up to 14 years in prison.
Some people feel making this into law can
get people unjustly killed or jailed and
there are those who feel that Nigerians
should be worried now because this is a
homophobic country. And in all sincerity I
am also worried. I hope incidences like
Aluu4 doesn't become rampant. People who
are mistaken to be gay can get lynched
by a mob because our government has
officially made it a crime. You know how
we like to take laws in our own hands
and enforce jungle justice. Hopefully this
doesn't happen.
What's your take on the new anti-gay
law?
is a thin of joy, our presidency, recognized such
