Outrage As BBC Journalist, Kiki Mordi Advocates For Same Sex Marriage In Nigeria

BBC Africa Journalist, Kiki Mordi has come under heavy fire on social media for advocating same sex marriage in Nigeria.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that in 2014, ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, signed the anti-same sex bill into law, banning all forms of gay associations or marriage and placing a 14-year jail term for any offender.

Taking to her Twitter page, Kiki Mordi said it is a shame that same sex marriage is still illegal in Nigeria, adding that the country is on the wrong side of history.

“It’s almost 2020 & same sex marriage is still illegal in Nigeria. Like two people (of the same sex) can love themselves and want to build a family for themselves just like you & I but can’t because it’s illegal for them,” she said.

“A damn shame! We’re already on the wrong side of history,” she wrote.

Kiki Mordi came to limelight following her Sex for Grades documentary released a few months ago, when she uncovered sexual harassment in West African universities particularly Ghana and Nigeria.

Her stance on same sex marriage has caused a lot of outrageous reactions among Nigerians.

Kiki is advocating for same sex marriage in Nigeria?

I think this whole woke nonsense is a form of mental disorder and we are neglecting it.

Next agenda will be to advocate for the right of siblings who feel like marrying themselves.

People who followed Kiki Mordi after she released the sex for grades videos think she didn't have hot & controversial takes like this before the video.

You people built a Kiki Mordi in your heads and expected the real life Kiki to change her ways and follow suit.

Sorry dears

Kiki Mordi becoming unpopular so quickly. Her views are just against the moral and religious convictions of this path of the world. Perhaps she needs to move to a place which is a perfect suit for her ideology.

Anytime I see this Kiki trending I know it’s for a wrong reason. @kikimordi is obviously sponsored by her paymaster.

I am not against same sex but if you want it , do it in peace and stop choking it on our throat

If you truly wanna know the opinions of Many Nigerians on lgbt community, there you have it at kiki mordi's tweet comment section. A friend once said Nigerians are becoming less homophobic. I simply told her she hasn't met Nigerians then. You're just surrounded with like minds.

Well, you just came out straight on what you actually want to do.

It's obvious you are tired of the hide and seek game.

Dear Kiki, you can leave Nigeria and relocate to the right side of history and enjoy what you love to do.

If you try it here, it's 14 years in jail.

Kiki has been misfiring lately and one thing I'd never support is same sex marriage even if I'm standing alone.

Homosexuals are the most dangerous set of people you'd ever come across, they can do anything to have their way… Block me and move on if it irks you.
