6 YEAR AND?
A comment on one of my posts got me thinking. The fellow said "gay rights will never find a place in Nigeria".
You see, i believe that when President Goodluck Jonathan signed the same sex Prohibition act bill into law in 2014, he gave the Nigerian citizens the authority to carry out harassment, criticizing, fighting, molesting, shooting and killing of innocent people for the sake of their sexual orientation and gender identification. it has become more obvious that the aim of this law is not to actually convict any LGBTQ Citizen but to make them scapegoats and make them live as criminals in their own country. this is because in the 6 years of this law, it is yet to convict anyone but on the contrary, hundreds of LGBTQ have been assaulted, displaced and killed, all in the name of this law. Even in their death, they do not get any fair treatment from the justice system instead, the media gather lies and further ridicule the dead.
Nigerians have isolated this law and used it as a weapon to strip people off their humanity just because of their sexual orientation and gender identification. The frequency of this occurrences and their effect has been terrible.
The Nigerian government to the best of my knowledge decided to use the media and it citizens to start a domestic terrorism on the LGBTQ Community in Nigeria.
A lot of people have been maimed and lost their lives for this reason. i was personally shot at but thank God, they missed. if you say this is what you get from being a part of or in association with the LGBTQ, what happened to the right to life? that reminds me of the late human rights activist Bamanga Rabiu popularly referred to as Rabina who was found in a shallow grave in room. it was reported that the killing was as a result of a hate crime.
