The Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, has rejected the United Nations Human Rights Council's recommendation on same-sex marriage, and the abolition of death penalty in Nigeria. He said same-sex marriage is alien to our culture, and can therefore not be imposed on Nigeria by external forces, and that we must defend our Constitution and not shy away from what we know is right for us as a nation. As for the death penalty, he claimed that our present Criminal Code was handed over to us by the colonial masters, and thus they should take responsibility if anything is wrong with same.
