Religion did this.
Worse: religion on the other side of the world did this. It was US Evangelicals who spent decades and tons of money to make this happen.
Religion: condemning love between adults and approving of marriage between adults and minors.
Straight up. A while back Nazi incel Nick Fuentes defended child marriage and grooming, and most people in the replies agreed with him.
The relationship between pedophilia and religiosity/conservatism is as clear as day. Pedocon is as much of a theory as the theory of gravity.
I see a lot of comments that seem not to have read this relevant part of the article:
Gombe State, where the arrests took place on Saturday, is also one of the northern states with a Muslim majority where Islamic Sharia law is applied alongside the federal and state judicial systems.
Under Sharia law, homosexual relations are punishable by death. However, this sentence has never been applied in northern Nigeria. The NSCDC spokesman refused to say whether the suspects arrested on Saturday would be charged under Sharia law or ordinary law.

The area they’re in is primarily Muslim…
Islam is also Abrahamic.
Edit: the op comment is edited, so it might have used another word. Sorry if that’s the case

Yeah dude didn’t like being completely wrong, so he edited out Evangelical with Abrahamic to be just kind of wrong in detail if not spirit.
Calling Islam the tool of oppressors is a bit… Suspect, given the guy clearly wanted an anti-colonialist talking point, but it’s not like any given Abrahamic religion isn’t practically tailor made for oppressive governments in general.
They edited their comment 4 hours before you replied…

I don’t think you know the region. The Sahel is primarily Muslim, the coastal regions were infiltrated by European Bible thumpers in the 19th century. These missionaries pushed their religious delusions onto the populace while capitalists (cut deals that they often reneged on) to rob the environment dry.
Does it bother anyone else that the camera isn’t centered between the yellow and green or is it just me?

So, is Nigeria just that fucked up, or is it a specific city/region/administration?
Little of column A, little of column B.
I’d suggest reading the article.

It makes people who love oppressing others happy. It also makes people who love licking boots happy.
Truly a useful tool of society.
