Nigeria finally bans same-sex marriage

The Nigerian upper house, the senate has yesterday unanimously agreed on the passage of a billed banning same-sex marriage in Nigeria.

The senate's harmonized report banning same sex goes against opposition from western nations.

In the conference committee meeting, the senate president, David Mark called on President Goodluck Jonathan to quickly sign the Bill into law.

According to Leadership report, David Mark was quoted as saying: "We have been under series of attack from different quarters. I think we believe in this Bill. The earlier we sign it into law, the better. We (Nigeria) have many shortcomings, we don't one to add this one (same-sex marriage) to it."
