Mr Adani Kenechi Maurice and the youths. The future of gay in Africa,Nigeria in particular. At the wake of 7th day of January,2014, The Dr Goodluck Jonathan led administration greeted the new year with the passage of an Act,known as SAME SEX MARRIAGE( PROHIBITION) Act 2014. the said Act made opinion provisions to wit:prohibition of registration of gay clubs,societies and organizations, public show of same sex amorous relationship, directly or indirectly,entering to a same sex marriage contract or union,and even extends to people or persons who witness the acts of same sex or gay marriage being conducted are all liable to different levels of terms of imprisonment. The outbreak of this law to the people of Nigeria went far to strengthen their already harbored or perceived prejudice for the action which they consider as taboo under their native laws and customs. The question unanswered by the law and the Nigerian people,Where lies the fundamental rights of Nigeria people guaranteed under chapter 4 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that gave credence to freedom of association, right to hold an opinion, freedom from inhuman and degrading treatment,right to life and what have you? Where lies the place of the international convention on the civil political rights and international conventions on Economic,social and cultural rights adopted and ratified by states including Nigeria? Where lies the inalienable rights of the likes of Mr Adani Kenechi Maurice whom this law and customs have impaired their inalienable rights implicit to their existence? The bone of Nigeria problem is not only limited to Boko haram, and herdsmen but have included the obnoxious law that tends to make one deny oneself( same sex marriage prohibition Act 2014)as a requirement of customs and traditions. Sequel to the above A young Nigeria with a bright future has abandoned his School in run for safety for his dear life for his inability to live in self denial in perpetuity. The story of Mr Adani Kenechi Maurice is one of those pathetic stories that has come up in recent times. the said young man up until he went into hiding was a political science student of Enugu State University of science and technology (ESUT). His troubles started when it was alleged by some of the members of his Village in Ohodo, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State in Nigeria that he is gay,which the young man did not deny. The Youth of the Village quickly notified the parents of the said victim that he be not seen any where close to the Village, state ,As that was not enough the Villagers proceeded to share the communal land in the community to the age mates of the young man and in his exclusion as the parents were duly informed that the victim is not entitled to anything within the village. Upon hearing the above development, the victim expeditiously returned to his village to know his fate but his return would have been better that he never did, as the angry mob who sought to kill him, misfired and the attack meant for him Mr. Adani Kenechi landed on the father who came out to protect the son and he gave up the ghost immediately. On seeing that the action of these mob have caused the death of the Father of the victim, they mob all took to their heals and dispensed. A report was immediately made to the police who were never willing or very reluctant to act and till date nothing has been done. As if the aforesaid is not enough,the same community are using the instrumentality of the Nigeria police to oppress he whom it ought to protect. Petition to the Nigeria police force, confirming that the said victim have been banned from his community, states in Nigeria and urging the force to either kill the victim or detain him in perpetuity for community taboo in the land. The use of the police force only confirmed the institution to be the instrument in the hand of the oppressor against the ooppresed. We are left with a way out,the way lies in the answer to the poser, do we kill to save culture in African and Nigeria in particular? Give life to Mr Mr Adani Kenechi Maurice. |
