(Nigeria) - A Nigerian Humanist was repeatedly jeered in Abuja last week during his statement opposing the proposed new anti-gay legislation in Nigeria, the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association revealed last night. Mr Igwe said that law should not be made to oppress people. It should be made to serve the interests of all the people, he said. Reacting to the outrageous statement made by an Islamic law professor who said that sometimes the minority should be destroyed in order to protect the majority, Mr Igwe said that that was exactly what the bill was meant to achieve and that it was unhealthy for the country and its democracy.
