Jail For Gays: An Insane Legislation That Murders Right To Privacy, Freedom Of Association

 
In a strong word, I condemn the Nigerian government, The National Assembly and President for the inhumane and insane legislation criminalizing the right of people to choose the sexual orientation they prefer to pursue.
 
In my disapproval to this devilish Act, I submit that as a Nation, Nigeria must separate religion from state, and allow human right to take its course of full application.
 
That President Goodluck Jonathan, a man so learned up to doctoral level would give his presidential assent to an evil Act seeking to criminalise people not because they have committed a crime against anyone, but freely choosing who they want as partner is a very stupid move in 2014.
 
The Nigerian nation is presently submerged in different rivers of corruption, threatening to overflow the very essence of our national bank, yet the Government did not deem it fit to enforce, strengthen or pass legislation that will clamp the overgrown wings of this monster, instead they seek a more politically correct diversion, a route some of them walk in their nights.
 
Nigeria is a signatory to the United Nations Convention and Africa Charter on Human Rights which includes universally agreed right to private life and freedom of association. These rights are currently under threat in Nigeria today. We cannot allow this madness to stand.
 
Let me send a notice to the Nigerian Government that I will challenge this Human Right infringement in court of law. It certainly will not stand. This is not a case for LGBT community alone, its a case that borders on peoples right to live freely and peacefully in a country they call theirs.
 
Let the government do the right thing by making amends before its too late.
