A post by user @adenike_pretty on X stirred debate, stating, “Nigerians act like being a rapist is better than being gay.” The post highlights a problematic comparison between two unrelated issues—one illegal and the other morally reprehensible.
While homosexuality is criminalized in Nigeria, rape is universally condemned as an inhumane act. Rather than comparing the two, both actions should be addressed on their own merits: rape is a violation of human rights, and discrimination based on sexual orientation remains a complex legal and social issue. The conversation underscores the need for a more nuanced approach to moral and legal matters in society.
