Nothing else could be expected where Sharia law is emboldened, active and expanding.
Note the silence of the notorious Black Lives Matter.
A downplayed, politically correct statement below from Reuters:
A culturally conservative country, some Nigerians believe that homosexuality is a sin, with many arguing that same-sex relations are antithetical to the country’s culture and beliefs.
Believing that homosexuality is a sin cannot and should not be remotely compared to the systemic hunting down of gays and murdering them, as often happens under Sharia.
“LGBT+ Nigerians fear violence after sharia court death sentence,” by Pelumi Salako, Reuters, July 21, 2022:
A Nigerian sharia court’s decision to sentence three men to death by stoning for homosexual acts could trigger similar cases in the country’s states that apply Islamic law and unleash a wave of homophobic violence, LGBT+ rights groups said.
Male same-sex relationships are punishable by up to 14 years in prison under Nigerian national law, but 12 states in the mainly Muslim north also use parallel sharia courts to punish residents for crimes ranging from adultery to blasphemy.
Last month’s ruling in the northern state of Bauchi has raised fears of an increase in homophobia in Africa’s most populous nation, where many are already hostile towards LGBT+ people.
“This sentencing opens the door for more draconian judgments against LGBTQ persons. It’s a call for violence,” said William Rashidi, director of LGBT+ rights group Equality Triangle.
“With this judgment, the times have been rolled back. [It] affects the very essence of freedom of expression and association. People have been given some sort of rights to attack, maim and violate LGBTQ+ persons.”

Some of the states in Nigeria also have punishments for being a “vagabond.” A man who dresses like a woman or a woman who dresses like a man is a vagabond. Punishment can be up to a year in prison and caning up to thirty lashes. An “incorrigible vagabond” (repeat offender) can get up to two years in prison and a caning of up to fifty lashes. In the state of Kano a man who even acts like a woman can get up to a year in prison and a fine.

LGBTQIA and people of color – that’s a gold mine for our woke Left corporations, who can’t stop falling over themselves to hire these, since fewer slots are needed to satisfy their DEI quotas. Can’t the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, P&G, Google, SalesForce.com, Intel, Cisco, nVidia, et al all send feelers to Boko Haram to just extradite such gems in their society to the West, so that they can hire them as executive VPs and virtue signal the rest of us as to how wonderful they are?
