Even Virgin Atlantic boss/ Business mogul, Sir Richard Branson expressed his disgust as well by saying;
"Too sad to comprehend that Nigeria are passing a law in this day and age to put gay people in prison just for being gay.
The Prohibition of Same-Sex Marriage Bill passed through Nigeria’s Senate unopposed last week. It means gay couples entering into either marriage or cohabitation will be jailed for up to 14 years.

All of us with influence in Nigeria must do what we can to stop this cruel law. I would urge educated Nigerians all over the world to do what they can to help fight this discrimination."British Government are currently threatening to withhold their foreign aids.
