Nigeria: 76 people arrested for organising a "gay wedding
More than 70 young people were arrested on Saturday by security forces on charges of organising a gay wedding in north-east Nigeria, where such unions are criminalised and violence against the LGBT+ community is widespread.
Religion did this.
Nigeria has been screwed over by unstable religious zealots inculcating their heads with pernicious misinformed bullcrap for decades. This is the primary example I use when explaining why I equate missionary work with slavery and abuse in every possible way. It's far more corrupt and perverse to brainwash ignorant people into sick and unjustifiable bigotry against other better human beings than it is to perform any other act of malicious intent possible. Nigeria has been lead into the deepest darkness of all - ignorance and hate and the pernicious filth of bigotry. And that's why they totally fail as a nation.
They fail as a nation because it was pieced together by British crooks for the benefit of theft, which required ethnic/political instability for it to work. The most popular religion in the south of the country was also introduced by Brits (alongside other European capitalists) for the benefit of the European capitalists. Nigeria is a completely artificial nation, nothing about it makes sense or was done for the benefit of its inhabitants.
Religion: condemning love between adults and approving of marriage between adults and minors.
Straight up. A while back Nazi incel Nick Fuentes defended child marriage and grooming, and most people in the replies agreed with him.
The relationship between pedophilia and religiosity/conservatism is as clear as day. Pedocon is as much of a theoey as the theory of gravity.
I see a lot of comments that seem not to have read this relevant part of the article:
Gombe State, where the arrests took place on Saturday, is also one of the northern states with a Muslim majority where Islamic Sharia law is applied alongside the federal and state judicial systems.
Under Sharia law, homosexual relations are punishable by death. However, this sentence has never been applied in northern Nigeria. The NSCDC spokesman refused to say whether the suspects arrested on Saturday would be charged under Sharia law or ordinary law.

The area they're in is primarily Muslim...
I don't think you know the region. The Sahel is primarily Muslim, the coastal regions were infiltrated by European Bible thumpers in the 19th century. These missionaries pushed their religious delusions onto the populace while capitalists (cut deals that they often reneged on) to rob the environment dry.
Does it bother anyone else that the camera isn't centered between the yellow and green or is it just me?

So, is Nigeria just that fucked up, or is it a specific city/region/administration?
it's everywhere american conservatives have a relationship and right now it's strongest in africa
Asshole conservatives export their bigoted assholery to what they see as the weakest, most impressionable people they can corrupt. It's why so many otherwise once good and proud Tongans, for example, now subscribe to the idiotic inhumanity that is Mormonism and all the horror that it has created and continues to create in the world, and all the misery it continues to spread. That's what they've done to Nigeria. Africa is no longer a proud continent - and no longer can we look at is as the "cradle" of any civilized nation.
Bigots loooooove Apartheid
Gombe State has Sharia Law
Little of column A, little of column B.
I'd suggest reading the article.

It makes people who love oppressing others happy. It also makes people who love licking boots happy.
Truly a useful tool of society.
