Nigeria: Ruled by fear, not rights

Africa and the Middle East

The World Wide Wave team takes a look at gay life in the African country of Nigeria.

To understand gay life and music in Nigeria, we spoke with Maheeda – Nigerian born pop singer and self-proclaimed Goddess of X and Monica Tabengua – from Human Rights Watch in Africa.
