The US Supreme Court has struck down a law denying federal benefits to gay couples and cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California.The justices said that the Defense of Marriage Act, known as Doma, discriminated against same-sex couples.

Opinion polls indicate that most Americans support same-sex marriage.
Recently, the Nigerian National Assembly passed a law stipulating 14 year jail term for same-sex marriage. If Nigerian gays approach the supreme court of Nigeria to void the law against gays, do you think the supreme court will bulge to their demand and legalize gay marriage in Nigeria-may be in terms of fundamental human rights?

My dear friend, the picture is simply posing a question. Thanks anyway for your response.
In between, what are reasons for your answer?

On what ground? Religion, Fundamental human rights, culture etc. I really wonder what the supreme court justices of Nigeria would dish out as judgement should some stubborn Nigerian gays go to them for 'justice' as it happened this week in the USA.

the US statute is in favour of gayism, the Nigerian's is not.

The supreme court rules on statutes. When a lower court passes a judgement according to by laws of a state, institution or organisation, or passes a judgment on an administrative law of an institution, the only way a person will be advised to file an appeal and hope for an overturn is IF the laws of the country can be quoted and proven to support so!

Statutes prevail over by laws.

I hope u are clear?

I'm aware that the supreme court of Nigeria has in few cases, abrogated controversial sections of our statutes. What if Nigerian gays seek 'justice' in the law court in terms of fundamental human rights enshrined in our statutes?
