BBC Africa Journalist, Kiki Mordi, has said it is a shame that same sex marriage is still illegal in Nigeria.

In 2014, ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, signed the anti-same sex bill into law, banning all forms of gay associations or marriage. The law places a 14-year jail term for any offender.

Taking to her Twitter page, Kiki who came to limelight following her Sex for Grades documentary released a few months ago stated that Nigeria is on the wrong side of history for banning same-sex marriages.

Quote
“It’s almost 2020 & same sex marriage is still illegal in Nigeria. Like two people (of the same sex) can love themselves and want to build a family for themselves just like you & I but can’t because it’s illegal for them,” she said.

“A damn shame! We’re already on the wrong side of history,” she added.

Utter rubbish Kiki. LBGT  people needs to wait  as we've more pressing  developmental priorities to grapple with.  The sad  fact is that, it took the west  over a century to  compromise  the LGBT discussions whilst struggling to find its feet in social and economic development. As recently as 1970s, the act of LBGT was not only unlawful but  was considered a psychiatric problem. Why are you copy- cat Africans  pushing western agenda of distraction this way. Give African  nations time to reflect  on the issue, not push it  down their throats, only because  the culture is now in vogue in the west. Its a salient fact that had  the LBGT culture evolved from Africa, the westerners would have banned  and call it barbaric. You go to the  western embassies for visiting visa and tell them you've  more than one wife,  your refusal  will be immediate. So no one is telling you to be someone else, but   African countries are not ready in any shape or form to expend the limited resources  and other very pressing national socioeconomic  challenges to  focus on LGBT  issue.

Slavery never ended. The white man convinced us that polygamy is bad and homosegxwality is good.
