Yeah, the guy saying gay stuff under my username is a white guy impersonating me. If any of these low IQ racists bothered talking to black people in real life, they’d realize a lot of black people who vote democrat every single time are as homophobic as Russians.

Not me though, I can’t be homophobic, I’ve been to Europe.

Nigeria has about 100 million Muslims and 100 million Christians and very few atheists. So it is a diverse country and there are still people who practice traditional African religions there like Yoruba religion. But even though Nigeria is diverse it is a religious country.

It's not very ideologically diverse if pnly 1% view homosexuality as morally acceptable.
In a truly diverse country you would see people on both sides of the issue.

6 parties, but no one believes it's morally acceptable to love who you want.

The homophobia definitely isn’t great, but Nigeria is very diverse. They’re pretty much all the same race and pretty much all of them are religious, but there are a lot of different languages and ethnicities and cultures there. It was more than one country before the British colonized it and then the British drew borders that don’t have anything to do with the ethnic / religious boundaries which led to a civil war after their independence.

Some of the different ethnicities in Nigeria still have their pre colonial monarchies. For example, Edo state in Nigeria which is populated by the Edo people still have an Oba of Benin which was basically the king of the Benin Empire which was its own country. Which is kind of interesting actually.

I guess with Islam it’s sort of a mixed bag because there’s terrorism in the north now and religion certainly influences homophobic views. Although 96% of Nigerians aren’t Islamic so you can’t blame it on only Islam. But if you look into pre colonial Nigerian history, they used to write Yoruba using Arabic script. And people in the west tend to think sub Saharan Africans didn’t have a written history, which isn’t really true. So Islam, even though it has its problems it is something that’s significant to the history of Nigeria.

Although it wasn’t the only writing system, there are others like Nsibidi that are just native to sub Saharan Africa. So they had writing before Muslims or Christians colonized them.

I guess the fact that it’s diverse makes it hard to say blanket statements. They’re mostly homophobic and mostly religious, but they don’t all practice the same religion, and they don’t all speak the same language, and they’re not all the same ethnicity. So it’s hard to say why they’re homophobic more than something "religion." Idk.

If 99% of them would never call homosexuality morally acceptable then that's a shallow meaningless diversity.
In a truly diverse group you would never see such uniformity.
