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?
