Pew Research: Nigeria Is The Most Homophobic Country In The World. by AlfaSeltzer(m): 8:02pm On Jun 14, 2013
According to a new research, less than 1% of Nigerians said that homosexuals should be accepted, making them the most gay-hating country in the world.

There is broad acceptance of homosexuality in North America, the European Union, and much of Latin America. However, rejection of homosexuality is equally widespread in predominantly Muslim nations and in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as in parts of Asia and in Russia.

Views of homosexuality are particularly positive in Spain (88% say it should be accepted by society), Germany (87%), Czech Republic (80%), Canada (80%), Australia (79%), France (77%), Britain (76%), Argentina (74%), Italy (74%) and Philippines (73%).

Conversely, fewer than one-in-ten in Nigeria (1%), Tunisia (2%), Ghana (3%), Senegal (3%), Egypt (3%), Jordan (3%), Indonesia (3%), Uganda (4%), Palestinian territories (4%) and Kenya (8%) say homosexuality should be accepted by society.

Have to agree, Jamaicans are noticeably homophobic! A lot of dancehall artists record anti gay songs which is uncommon amongst Nigerians.

jamaicans ain't as homophobic compared to nigeria's status.there are many open LGBT jamaicans,I can only say a few about nigeria and the few are either in a self-imposed exile or in political assylum.u have the likes of bisi alimi,a gay icon to many including me as he has an inspiring story,he went through hell,where his he today,assylum,rowland macauley,the gay reverend,assylum,open gay rights activist ifeanyi kelly orazuilike,exile.the list goes on,what william rashidi.don't know if he's still here or as followed suit.
Nigeria is homophobic.I remember watching the senate hearing on the anti-gay bill.I cried at how our legislators heckled the hell out of the 5 brave gay nigerians who had the balls to stand up.u can see clearly the expression on most people in that hall was like put abullet in their heads.
But I believe there's a change in public opinion on gays,cause most people have started seeing LGBT's as who they have been and not what they are.

Nigeria winning award for shameful, disgusting, prejudicial, ignorant, homophobic barbaric and backward ways is really a reflection of the worthless clowns ruling the country with nothing better to do or any meaningful idea to the lives of Nigerians. Of what concern is the lifestyle of one man to the next or to the day to day worries these jackassess can not and wont fix?


After collecting trillions in paychecks since 1999, these useless clowns are yet to pass a single law designed to better the life of any average Nigerian, but they not only unanimously passed a barbaric bill to condemn their own citizens in record time and send them to jail, but also busy bothering us with what really should not be our business.

That is not true....even though many people in Nigeria and wider Africa do not accept homosexuality. Nobody will be harmed for being gay or lesbian. The worst they will do is pray for you.

The worst country in Africa for homophobia is Uganda. People are killed and physically attacked there for being homosexual, not to mention raping of women because they are lesbian. The average person there, including school aged kids believes that homosexuals should be killed.

This report is a flat out lie.

Sorry, Jamaicans are (generally) way more openly homophobic than Nigerians.

Look at the songs.....there are many songs that are anti gay. Dont you remember the Buju Banton song "boom bye bye"? About killing gay men? What about the slangs, batty boy and chichi boy.....all derogatory terms for gay people.

There are people who have been granted asylum in the UK from Jamaica because of the abuse they have received in Jamaica for being openly gay.

We are not talking heckling, we are talking physical violence.

Homophobia is justifiable and should even be encouraged, Homosexuality is cancerous to any society. Nigeria has a lot on its plate already, and can do without having to deal with such moral aberration.

Abu Mikey: Your Life is in TROUBLE!!!
guy don't start with me.
I seem to respect u.be careful.
Your assumptions are gays are immoral and God detest homosexuality and automatically turns his back on them.
There's different aspect to religion and homosexuality.
I'm not going to lecture you on whether the bible condemns it,accept it or is indifferent.that's up for u to research.
What makes a bible holy is not the holy written in it or the words in it.its an ordinary book.its ur faith in it that makes it holy and a source of reference for solutions to ur problems.
Only God's grace and mercy is what we all have.
On my own part.my faith is still intact.I haven't allowed my sexuality dictate to me on religion.
Till date there's no prayer request I ask God for in prayers that aren't answered.
I still do simple things like short prayer b4 any meal,pray b4 bed,fast every wednesday,every first week,3 days of fasting and prayer.its just what I believe that God Is there for me and would readily hear my cries and pains anytime.I owe him everything for saving me from suicide twice.
What causes homosexuality I got no idea?
Many say its a demon,its devilish.all sorts.
If its a demon,till date no pastor of any of the mega spiritual churches have captures it even upon my desperation for a change.I've done some deliverance,do I name churches,mfm,deeper life,my chuurch living faith,rccg,and some petty pentecostal churches.


Everything I typed may seem as trash to you.yes,that's okay.just try not to think you know the dynamics behind homosexuality or have a lasting cure to it.

you know its not a matter of being gay or straight for the nigerian society.the nigerian society are just too morally upright in hypocrisy.
I really don't give a f.uuuck how anyone perceives me,u know I'm gay,cool,u don't cool.at least I've learnt my lesson to reconsider before telling anyone about my sexual orientation.
Being gay is not a pricetag that u collect an award for or money.publication of ur homosexuality what do u stand to gain.
Imagine a supposedly straight like you announcing in Yaba,"I'm Straight,I love girls".don't u think the same type of mobs won't gather around u to shut ur mouth.why the announcement.I feel no urge and wouldn't feel the urge to announce in the public my sexuality.what does it changed,nothing.it only makes you a fool cause u don't become a catalyst of change through lousy announcement.

Mind u I wasn't emphasising on physical violence on gay people.I only took the social and discriminatory aspect.sure on attacks and violence on LGBT's jamaican's take an upper hand.
