Some group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons have expressed their wishes on what they want to see, how they want to be treated, and what they want as fellow citizens of Nigeria.
NoStrings recently conducted a ‘wish hunt’ and was able to successfully extract 12 interesting wishes from LGBT Nigerians who in the process used the opportunity to express their hopes, frustrations, and desires.
Below are the 12 entries that were extracted:
Anonymous; I wish for a Nigeria were I can get married to the woman of my dreams without fear of being lynched at the wedding venue. I wish for a Nigeria where I can hold my girls hand in public and not get killed or raped for doing so”
