Many Nigerians are genuinely terrified of gay marriage.
And they are distraught over the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to
legalize gay marriage in America.
They
express sadness and pity for what is supposedly God's Own Country. They
predict America's inevitable decline.
But the emotion most potent in their words is fear. The kind you might expect from news of an impending tsunami.
Many Nigerians appear terrified that, having finally won the victory on home soil, America will now set its sights on imposing similar legislature in countries like Nigeria. "We must resist this wave," people say.

Rumors
of America's plan of action have already started making the rounds.
Over the past few days, a number of articles in local newspapers have
revealed what some Nigerians believe to be the secret agenda behind
President Obama's invitation to Nigeria's new president, Muhammadu
Buhari.
Allegedly, the meeting, scheduled to take place in the White House on July 20, is aimed at persuading President Buhari to repeal Nigeria's infamous Same Sex Prohibition Law signed by the previous Goodluck Jonathan administration. "Beware of Obama's Invitation," read a headline in one of Nigeria's dailies.
It won't be a surprise if the anti-gay bill were
the only reason why President Obama has extended this warm invitation
to Nigeria's president, what with issues like Boko Haram currently
siphoning global attention. But if indeed he has the welfare of gay
Nigerians in mind, President Obama must proceed with caution.
