President Bola Tinubu is being dragged by Nigerians after reportedly signing
an LGBT agreement code-named ‘Samoa Deal.’
The Samoa Deal compels developing and under-developing nations to recognise the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT), before they could get financial grants and loans from advanced countries. Samoa is a Pacific Ocean Island country where the pact was signed in November 15, 2023.
The Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, confirmed the development at a reception organised by the European Union (EU) in Abuja.
Though the Ministry of Information tried to explain that the documents signed by the federal government were strictly for economic development of Nigeria, many Nigerians from all religion have kicked against the signed $150 billion trade agreement between the FG and the EU.
Reactions on social media:
@Alameen___Abba: “Nigeria signed an LGBT agreement without the public’s knowledge. By signing this, the country legalized lesbianism, homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism, abortion, and teen sexual abuse, all to secure unwanted loans.
@Faridati001: “Nigeria officially signed LGBT agreement without Nigerians knowing. By signing that agreement, Nigeria legalized Lesbian, Gay, Bisexuality, Transgenderism, all of these because we want to unlock unwanted loans. Allah ya tsinewa loans din!”
@KawuGarba: “We will not accept the LGBT law in Nigeria, regardless of any associated economic benefits. The reps behind this move should be ashamed of themselves.”
@DrKenon2: “LGBT: Tinubu has signed the controversial Samoa Agreement.
“The agreement reportedly has some clauses that compel underdeveloped and developing nations to support the agitations by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community for recognition, as condition for getting financial and other supports from advanced societies.”
@Ukatcher: “Under a Muslim Muslim administration we read in the news that Nigeria has signed an agreement on the rights of LGBTQ in Nigeria.”
