**we will continue to pressure the Nigerian government, to change these laws against Gay people.

The United States government has vowed to continue to press the Nigerian government to reverse its anti-gay law.
The US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said this during a live-web chat with journalists in Washington.
Thomas-Greenfield also said that America was not bothered that Chinese companies were fast taking over the African market from their US counterparts.

President Goodluck Jonathan had on January 7, 2014 assented to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Bill 2013 which criminalises homosexuality in the country.
On January 14 when it became public that the President had signed the bill into law, the US, Canada and the European Union openly expressed reservations over the law and this one of the reason Western Countries worked together to kick him out of office.


Thomas-Greenfield, who said the US had adopted the protection of the rights of same-sex people as part of its foreign policies, vowed that Washington would continue to mount and sustain pressure on Nigeria and other countries to reverse their laws against the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community.
She said, “As a government, it is one of the highest priorities and strongest values that discrimination against anyone based on their sexual orientation and gender identity is wrong. We believe human rights should be available to everybody.

“As a policy, we will continue to press the government of Nigeria as well as other governments who have provided legislation that discriminate against the LGBT community.”
Thomas-Greenfiled, who did not agree that pressuring Nigeria to reverse the anti-gay law amounted to interference, said the country and Uganda had the hardest legislation on the gay community.
She said, “This is very much a work in progress, but I think you will agree with me that the law in Nigeria really went far in discriminating against this community but also people who associate with them.

“So we will continue to press the government, to press the legislature to change these laws and provide human rights for all Nigerian people regardless of their sexual orientation.”
She, however, did not disclose if the US would impose sanctions on the countries with anti-gay laws to achieve its objectives.
Thomas-Greenfield was optimistic that the U.S would win the fight to protect the LGBT community.

President Muhammadu Buhari is scheduled to travel to the US later this month and the issue of Gay and lesbians right and the reversal of the Obnoxious anti-gay right law.

Can we vote about this? If you dont support gays click like. If you support gays click share.

Don't worry... GMB won't reverse it else it's his nortgern brothers that will kill him first.

Nonsense....some things shouldn't be brought up as far as Nija is concerned. GLHT....will never get their hold in Nija..make dem relocate go USA.

Why is it hard for some people to mind their unprofitable business. Look, Thomas-greenfield or what do you chose to call yourself, its obvious that you make more sense in silent. And as for any Nigerian that is so interested in your LGBT movement should go ahead and change citizenship before the end of the year, but as for me and my true patriots we will serve the LORD.







GOD LOVES GUYS AND HATE GAYS.

Pls let them not impose that their insanity on us. And Buhari should better be careful with the way and manner he is romancing Obama. Let them direct their help to Greece, they need it urgently.

Jesus Christ! what am I doing here?

America has began the process of destroying the word.
I do not under stand the issue of sexual orientation.

Very soon American will pass a law protecting the right of pedophiles there are people with that sexual orientation. ( those are are attracted sexually by little children)

Nigeria will comply only when Obama marries Mugabe.

Arrant nonsense! USA should get over this annoying attitude of interfering in internal matters of other countries.

No going back on that law. They should not insult our intelligence.
We strongly condemn their misguided attempt in strong terms. It's irking!!!

->Buhari should know that this will be the topic of discussion in his meeting with Obama.
->I hope he is prepared for that.
