Nigeria is one of the few counties that has the death penalty for gay men & some of the harshest anti-LGBTI+ laws.
I’m no tourism expert, but that’s a strong reason why me & my #LGBTI friends can’t/won’t visit Nigeria.

Beaches, beer and a rare suspended lake … why can’t Nigeria attract more tourists?
Visitor numbers to the African country lag far behind its neighbours due to lack of infrastructure and national planning. Now some are starting to demand changes

The Anti-LGBTQ law of Ghana can proceed through parliament. The proposed law is insidious & one of the harshest of any country.
It criminalise *identifying* as #LGBTI+, for expressing that, for advocating for rights, and denies gender affirming care.
