Gobe!!! Olamide may Spend 10 years in jail for alleged Homosexuality

Since President Goodluck Jonathan signed the new anti-gay act into law, there have been reactions from both within and outside Nigeria.
While some have thrown their weights behind it, others have continued to criticise it, claiming the President should be more interested in other pressing issues than homosexuality, which the Western world has already embraced.
According to the act, anyone involved in homosexual risks 10 to 14 years jail term.
“The public show of same sex amorous relationship directly or indirectly is prohibited,” the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act, 2013 stated in Section 4, subsection 2.
Also, the same act stated in Section 5, subsection 2 that, "A person who registers, operates or participate in gay clubs, societies and organisation, or directly or indirectly makes public show of same sex amorous relationship in Nigeria commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a term of 10 years imprisonment.”
With the above, top Nigerian rapper, Olamide, may be in trouble
