Hmm! E be Like Sey Okonji Iweala Dey Support Gay...See Wetin She Talk

Minister for Finance and Coordinator of the Economy Ngozi Okonjo Iweala appear ontop  CNN Fareed Zakaria GPS programme on Sunday to speak on corruption for we country.

But Zakaria towards the end come ask her, about the criminalisation of gay. see her reply...

ZAKARIA:  I have to ask you a question that is not part of directly your portfolio, but it is your government.

Nigeria has always had laws banning homosexuality.  But you advanced a further law which criminalized it so that somebody who is gay would have to spend 14 years in prison.
You also have passed – the law says that people who are in some way promoting gay clubs or gay discussion would be imprisoned for 10 years.  This seems an assault on a minority’s rights.  It also seems an assault on free speech.
Why is Nigeria doing this?

OKOJO-IWEALA:  Well, let me say this, Fareed, that, you know, we’re here in the U.S.  And it took 40 to 50 years or more under conversation of, you know, the gay community to get where the U.S. is.
I think that, you know, we need a conversation in the country.  We need evolution.  Ninety-six percent of people support these laws, but I think we need to unpack the laws, for them to see, you know, between being a gay person and between same-sex marriage because the two are compounded in people’s minds and there’s a strong sentiment against same-sex marriage, just as you had here before.
And it’s still evolving.  I think it’s a question of conversation, discussion, evolution, education and engagement over time, just as happened in this country and in Europe.  It’s not something that happened overnight.  So I would say withhold judgment and let us work on this.

So wetin una think, she support gay ba?
