Nigerian Senate Passes Anti-Gay Bill
Have you all heard about this?!?!
In ABUJA, The Senate, passed the Same Sex Marriage bill prohibiting all marriages between man & man and between woman & woman. The bill sponsored by Senator Magnus Abe, PDP, Rivers, prescribes 14 years jail term for anybody convicted of contracting marriage between same sex.
It also prescribed 10 years for anybody convicted of aiding and abetting the contraction of same sex marriage in Nigeria and also nullifies certificate of same sex marriage contracted outside the shores of Nigeria. The new law also kicked against the operation of gay clubs in Nigeria as it provides for 10 years jail term without option of fine for anybody guilty of operating gay club within the country. #Wow! If they could only enforce the same law in various, major crimes…#Wow!
Foolish people!!! Despite all the injustice, lack of security, corruption, poor infrastructure; such as healthcare system, roads, schools, electricity, water supply, etc. This is what they are quick to exert their energy on? Passing a bill on same sex marriage? *smh* That’s why we’ll continue to be stagnant with no progress whatsoever! #Nonsense!!

We seriously need to #rethiNk the decisions we’re making & realize that we CAN do better.
