I guess they don't have enough slave labor in Nigeria's prisons. What a disgustingly vile government. I hope their people can destroy it before it takes more innocent lives.

The reason Nigeria is so anti lgbtq+ is because evangelicals from the US have been pushing anti lgbtq+ policies there for years.

This is what the US evangelicals want the US to be like.
