civil union entered between persons of
same Gender shall not be solemnized
in any place of worship either Church
or Mosque in Nigeria”.

recognition only for “marriage contract
between a man and woman either
under Islamic Law, Customary Law and
Marriage Act”, which are the laws
recognised in Nigeria”.
The proposed law also seeks to bar
registration of gay clubs, societies and
organisations, their sustenance,
processions and meetings”, and also
“the public show of same sex amorous
relationship directly or indirectly”.
Section 5 of the Bill proposes that
“Persons entered into a same gender
marriage or civil union contract
commit an offence and are jointly liable
on conviction to a term of 14 years
imprisonment each”.
The report of the Bill also prescribes 10
year jail term for whoever registers or
joins such in marriage.
“Any person who registers, operates or

organisations, or directly or indirectly
make a public show of same sex
amorous relationship commits an
offence and shall each be liable on
conviction to a term of 10 years
imprisonment”.

person or group of persons that
witnesses, abet, screens and aids the
solemnization of a same sex marriage
contract or civil union or supports the
registration of gay clubs, societies and
organisations, processions or meetings
in Nigeria commits an offence and
liable on conviction on conviction to a
term of 10 years imprisonment”.
The Bill is expected to be read the 3rd
time by the Clerk of the House, before
it will be harmonized with the Senate’s
version before forwarded to the
President for assent.
The House through its spokesman,
Hon. Zakari Mohammed (PDP-Kwara)
said the House or the National
Assembly could not cowed by other
countries on their stance on the issue
of same sex.
He said the House has decided on the
side of God and the people, and is not
ready to rescind on that.
“Even a whole generation was
destroyed because of this. The
developed economies can do whatever
they want to do, but it is better to err
on the side of God”, he said.
He added that “we have culture and
traditions, and we cannot ignore that.
As far as we are concerned we have
done what the people want by passing
the Bill”.
