ANTI-GAY LAW: "The Practise Of Homosexuality Should Be Condemned"

Some prominent lawyers in Lagos on Thursday urged the Federal Government not to succumb to foreign pressure to decriminalise same-sex relationships in the country.

The lawyers, in separate interviews with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), lauded President Goodluck Jonathan for signing the bill into law.

NAN reports that the law prescribes penalties of up to 14 years in prison and bans gay marriage, same-sex “amorous relationships” and membership of gay rights groups.

Mr Onyekachi Ubani, Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ikeja branch, said that majority of Nigerians were very happy with the law.

Ubani said: “Nigerians have the right to determine what we want in our country because we are a sovereign nation.

“Our culture supports sexual purity and natural means of conception.
“If you carry out a plebiscite today, you will see that majority of Nigerians are very happy with the law.”
