Lagos– A Nigerian woman has put the recently passed anti-gay law in Nigeria to good use. The law prescribes a 14 year jail sentence for gay people and 10 year jail term for people who are not gay but who aid or abet gay people.

The 32 year old lady who hails from the Mushin area of Lagos, the first of seven girls and the only one of her siblings not yet married, is reported to have had her eyes on a particular young male hairdresser for sometime.

The hairdresser, a 27 year old aspiring musician who discovered his talent for hairdressing when his music career wasn’t taking off on time is said to have turned the lady down on several occasions, even refusing to be the one to fix her weave anytime she visited the salon where he worked.

Undaunted, the lady intensified her efforts and even bragged to anyone who would listen that Mudashiru (not real name) was hers and that there was nothing anyone could do about it, not even Mudashiru himself.

Things came to a head penultimate weekend when on learning that the senate had passed a law against gay people, Bimpe (not real name) confided in her bosom friend, Uju (not real name) that God had just buttered her bread and provided her with the ‘final joker’ to catch Muda (not her real pet name for the hairdresser).

Bimpe is said to have invited Mudashiru to a tailor’s shop on the pretence that she wanted to introduce him to a potential new client, but on arriving at Uncle Joe’s Tailoring Service off Bode Thomas in Surulelere, the young man discovered that he had been invited for the purpose of being measured for his wedding suit. He was astonished as he had not agreed to marry Bimpe.

Bimpe, in her wedding gown, being fitted and adjusted to flatter her plump outward beauty, told Muda that he should choose between marrying her and spending 14 years in prison.

The young Mudashiru is reported to have become alarmed at this point; having understood the threat that Bimpe was making and feeling convinced that his life was finished – as he reportedly cried out several times.

Luck, however, was on his side. On learning that her friend had gone ahead with her plan, Uju who Bimpe had confided in, became jealous and told other friends that the two had in common that her baby had abandoned her for one gay hairdresser boy just because of pressure from her family to get married.

Her friends, being of similar leanings and thus sympathetic of her plight, dutifully advised her to ‘shey were fhun wan!’ (Demonstrate your madness for them – i.e.: put on a display of convincing mental imbalance prone to violence and irrationality).

Uju promptly stormed Uncle Joe’s shop and caused a scene even as the young Mudashiru was busy pleading and swearing by the heads of his parents and all his ancestors that he wasn’t homosegxwal.

None of this drama would have known the light of day were it not for Uncle Joe’s fear of being sentenced to prison for aiding and abetting gay people.

In the police statement he made when he voluntarily went to report the gay and lesbian people who had come to cause trouble at his shop, he explained that the way he saw it, since he was asked to make wedding clothes for a lesbian bride and her homosegxwal groom, he ran the risk of being convicted twice - once for each of the couple, and then one more time for the lesbian Uju who came to expose everything.

He did tell people later on that he had no problem with the couple or their friend, but the fear of  spending 30 years in prison just for sewing wedding gown was too big to ignore.

IF YOU WHERE UNCLE JOE WOULD GO TO REPOT THEM AT THE POLICE STATION OR WOULD YOU TAKE THE NEXT AVAILABLE BUS TO GHANA?
