‘We’ll force Nigeria to legalize same-sex unions - U.S

The United States of America has said that it would continue to mount pressure on Nigeria until the country legalizes same-sex unions. The US is expected to begin making its case against Nigeria’s anti-homosexuality law during President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Washington on July 20. This was revealed on Monday, July 13, 2015, by the US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield during a live-web chat with journalists.
Nigeria’s anti-homosexuality law was passed in January 2014 and carries a maximum sentence of 14 years. Thomas-Greenfield also said that pressuring Nigeria to reverse the anti-gay law did not amount to interference with the country’s sovereignty.
