“To each his own”! I am an African myself and I was
extremely concerned and outraged when I saw the latest news article wherein
Nigeria among many other nations in Africa, continue to terrorize and criminalize
gays and lesbians for engaging in same sex activities, even for as little as
for holding meetings. I think those laws are too barbarous, they need to be
looked into from a sociological perspective as a whole and abolished as it
violates human rights standards and causes more harm than good.
The Washington Post article I'm referring to can be found via the below link
or by Googling other similar news articles from major newspapers world-wide:
