Homosexuality Rises In Nigeria Few Days Into Biden’s Presidency by Doraty1(f): 6:22am On Jan 30, 2021
The new Democratic government in the United States led by President Joe Biden may have started to influence Nigeria and its citizens in some ways.

Nigeria may not be feeling the economic impacts of the new US government but obviously, the liberalism, which Democratic governments’ philosophy brings with it has began to manifest in the country in what many Africans may term negative.

The current development may be likened to the government of Barrack Obama when he (Obama) threatened to cut off foreign aids to Nigeria if the most populous black nation passed its anti-gay bill then.

That was when the then Senate grabbed the bull by the horn and passed a bill that strictly prohibits same-sex romantic liaisons in the country.

The bill raised furor among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender groups (LGBT), human rights organizations and western governments. Consequently, Obama issued a memo ordering American diplomats abroad to advance the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Persons.

He further announced that the fight against gay and lesbian discrimination would be a central point of his foreign policy.

But the Nigerian government was unwavering and the then President, Goodluck Jonathan, on January 7, 2014, signed the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Bill (SSMPA) into law.

The notional purpose of this law is to prohibit marriage between persons of the same sex. In reality, its scope is much wider.

The SSMPA forbids any cohabitation between same-sex sexual partners and bans any “public show of same sex amorous relationship.”

The SSMPA imposes a 10-year prison sentence on anyone who “registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organization” or “supports” the activities of such organizations. Punishments are severe, ranging from 10 to 14 years in prison.

The law effectively criminalizes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

However, many Nigerians, especially those from the entertainment industry are coming out boldly as gay in recent days. This means that the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari may not be interested in adding the fight against LGBT to that of corruption, insecurity and drowning economy.

Many Nigerians are now bold enough to come out as gay.

For instance, a few days ago, a video went viral where an up and coming Nigerian movie star and model, Godwin Maduagu was seen having an explicit gay sex with another Nigerian who did nothing to veil his face.

And barely 24 hours after Maduagu’s sex video went viral, another Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu came out publicly as gay.


Maduagwu made the declaration via his Instagram page on Thursday, asking his followers to learn to accept and respect other people’s choices.

Uche, known for attacking and making vile slurs about other actors and important personalities, shared a photo of himself with a caption, ”Proudly Gay.”

But before then, Bolu Okupe, son of former presidential spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, had also announced his sexuality, declaring himself a homosexual.

But while he may be somewhere in the US, the likes of Uche Maduagwu and Godwin are here in Nigeria despite the country’s laws against the act.

Many more will come out in the near future while many others like the popular cross-dresser, Bobrisky, have directly or indirectly made their homosexual status known.

Many Nigerians are now of the view that the current Nigerian leadership may not be exactly interested in the existing legislation against LGBT practices considering the ideology of the current US government. Even though this may not exactly be the reason, government’s helplessness and inaction despite the current declaration by some Nigerians that they are gay has put many people in doubt as to the effective execution of the said legislation.

I won't be surprised if Nigeria turns out having one of the highest number of gay people in the world.
Something that has been happening in the North long before other countries even started accepting it.They have probably the highest number of gay people in Nigeria,but they hypocritically pretend to be regulating others with normal sexual orientations,no wonder the law is toothless.

Wow I'm speechless! Though I hate discrimination and injustice but this thing has come to stay and the media is doing everything to put into the mind teenagers .
How can a suppose public figure come out to say he's gay undecided what then happens to those young lad who sees him as a role model, they too would want to see how it feels like I think it high time the government started holding people responsible for what they put up on social media.
If you say you do not support same sex relationship why allow crossdressers put up whatever they want on social media, kids are watching for goodness sake.

If you know you are against something please be against it and stop the hypocrisy.
Nigeria should either accept this people or social media should be regulated.

Does having sex with one's nuclear family member affect anyone?

Why is it still illegal world over?

A man not having sexual feelings for his sister is not a biological thing but a mental thing.That is the reason why siblings who don't know they are siblings will develop sexual desire for one another. There is nothing in the human blood that stops you or me from desiring our siblings sexually. What is stopping us is in our head. Why is it in our head? Because we were groomed from birth to know that one can't have sex with his sister/brother, mother/father, because it is against natural law.

As we speak, there are people who indulge in such world over but the numbers are few. The moment society begins to accept incest as a way of life, that mental barricade begins to diminish, and the number of those indulging in it starts to increase.

That is exactly the same thing happening with homosexuality. It has been with the world right from the onset but very limited. The recent increase in cases of homosexuality and lesbianism is simply because it is being accepted in different parts of the world. People are being raised to believe there is nothing wrong with it, as such, the numbers of those identifying as gay is on the increase. That is a very serious problem that would affect humanity in centuries to come.

Beautiful.

Do you know the effect of rising cases of homosexuality?

Just think a bit about it.

PoliteActivist:


Lower birthrate and tolerance? What do you think?

Spot-on bro.

Which will lead to under population, and goes directly against God's first command to man in Gen 1:28 "Be fruitful and multiply".

Under-population would lead to a serious humanitarian crises. Anyone who is interested can just start reading up the dangers of under population.

kelvindj98:

So you don't know the biological implication of f**king one's brother or sister and the defects it leads to. You be illiterate?

What effect does my neighbor sleeping with his daughter or sister have on me oga?

If you say it will lead to birth defects, how e take concern me wey dey okay for my house? Even at that medical science has reached a level where anomalies can be discovered in fetuses. So if a growing fetus is defective, it can be aborted. And abortion doesn't affect me too, just the same way homosexuality doesn't affect me. Nothing another person does affects me. Abi no be so dem talk?

That is how men without wisdom talk forgetting that even Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe...

What ever you do good or bad has an effect on other people.

This people are gradually infiltrating Nigeria, compromising individuals, so-called celebrities and ordinary people alike. They are also behind the same-sex love movie, ife.

They are busy promoting their agenda and the govt seems unable, or unwilling to enforce the law.

I might be thinking differently... But I think this whole drama is a ploy for better life in America or Canada...

After Voting in Buhari for the second time, You guys now devised a means to travel out by playing different sexual orientation card/ discrimination card... It will not workoooo...

If u are gay, no wahala... just remain gay in Nigeria... You have to reap the wonderful political dispensation you people have planted.. sad

This is why many people in Nigeria need psychiatric evaluation, including the news media.

Of what relevance is Biden and what people do behind closed doors to me and my day to day realities.?

That is Very big problematic effect befalling on Nigeria.
The federal government should step up to the duty, take the bull by the horn and effectively tackle this menace.
I also think the other media agencies should emulate this and reemphasize on this ugly trend, so that all these culprits will be arrested and made to face the law.
I keep reechoing and laying more emphatically on need to make gayism a death penalty offense.
Nigeria is big disasterous country where an act will be enacted into law but implementation is zero.
Police should step up and arrest these criminals and prosecute them.

There is US President influence.

Biden's party supports open display of Gay, Lesbianism LGBTQ.

So in an event where these people they are coming out as gay are being harassed and prosecuted, the United States will want to take them in and offer them asylum to defy the Nigerian government.

It's like you guys have forgotten so easily the days of Obama, how he threatened nations with sanctions including Nigeria for same sex marriage, you think Biden won the presidency because he was better candidate than trump, NO, Nigerian gay community is bolder now because of his victory, and I tell you they will keep pushing their agenda knowing that he will come to their aid if the government starts taking action on them, It's like a trap they are setting for the Nigerian Government, you think all this gay this and that coming up is coincidental, NO it's not they know what they are doing...
