Unlike some parts of Europe and United States where same s*x marriage is legally permitted between homos*xuals and lesbians, the Nigerian Government has condemned it, saying that the practice is immoral and ungodly.
TODAY'S GIST gathered from the bill passed today by the Nigeria Senate (upper house of parliament), anyone who contract same marriage would be arrested and charged to court.
The punishment attracts jail term. Anyone seen to have also encouraged such marriage would also be punished jailed but with an option of N50,000 as fine.
President Goodluck Jonathan will have to sign the bill before it can finally become law. Those in the know strongly believe that Nigerian president will not think twice before signing it into law.
