i am very glad- _ justice across nigeria. i am very glad- we _ justice across nigeria. we are - justice across nigeria. i am very glad. we are africa. i justice across nigeria. i am | very glad. we are africa. we don't want such things in our country. i am so happy that they signed against it. the law banned gay — they signed against it. the law banned gay clubs _ they signed against it. the law banned gay clubs and - they signed against it. the law. banned gay clubs and same-sex banned gay clubs and same—sex affection in public, with penalties of up to 14 years in prison. forsome, this penalties of up to 14 years in prison. for some, this wasn't enough. some nigerians simply to the law into their own hands. activists claim nigeria's anti—gay laws have empowered blackmailers and led to an explosion in kito. to understand what it is like to be gay in nigeria, i am meeting a queerfilmmaker. herfirst a queer filmmaker. her first film a queerfilmmaker. herfirst film was banned in cinemas across the country. —— queer film. but she's invited me to the premiere of herfilm film

it doesn't beat the number of cases in nigeria.is so rampant, that they have a name for it, kito. i've had a website where some of the blackmailers have released the data to the community. i wanted to know why it is such a big problem here and so i began digging into it. nigeria is known for its conservative and religious values where 87% of people oppose gay rights. in 2014, a law was passed which criminalised same—sex marriage. at a time when most countries in the world take the route of recognising homosexuals, leaders like the nigerian president have chosen to stick to roots and tradition, by going ahead to sign an anti—gay bill into law. nigeria isn't the only country in which there are homosexuality laws. in the african continent alone, 37 countries have homosexuality laws in place. the passing of it saw widespread support and led to a rise in homophobic attacks and even mobjustice across nigeria. i am very glad. we are africa. we don't want such things in our country. i am so happy that they signed against it. the law banned

nigeria has this press freedom issue appeared nigeria remains one of the most dangerous places in westica to be a journalist. sometimes those numbers and words feel so distant until you find yourself very much in the crosshairs. i think that is what it was. a natural defense mechanism but also understanding this press freedom issue is more than just two words. it is definitely a lifetime struggle. >> that is such an important point. an attack on an individual journalist is often more than just an attack on an individual journalist. you were in myanmar. you were covering and investigating the military government. you received an 11 year prison sentence. you spent 176 days in prison. what message do you think they were trying to send by giving you that sentence and imprisoning you? >> i think because the media internationally was covering the case, they had i think found they could send a statement to international journalists, don't come here. don't pay attention to this. they had been sending that message domestically much more forcefully. the local journalists that message quickly and

can nigeria really expect any big changes as well? the fact of the much i use that line jury and i'm not asking for much, they just want to see even if it's just the 2 bits of change. and to be honest, then lots of expectations when it comes to pricing that now type of environment to boot up because he's bought the language the way he's speaking to nigeria. and the way he's in tune with what is going on, for example, he is that way and he has looked at the menu if you speak to that he knows many named jerry as they've not worked for him. this is very different for president, for hiring, for body language just seems to be very disconnected from the people i know now. well, what is going on? so i think back to this, 8080 to sign of full to nigeria, and even this is about the blood food for him. he may be from the same party as president who highly, but lots of people i expect seem to see a lot of different things, you know, coming from price of in to pull. i meant to write well, the opposition, including the 3rd party candidates. peter

certainly it happens a lot in nigeria.— it happens a lot in nigeria.in _ it happens a lot in nigeria. it very common in these _ it happens a lot in nigeria. it very common in these parts. - it happens a lot in nigeria. it very common in these parts. numberl it happens a lot in nigeria. it very - common in these parts. number one, the one issue is we don't really have, but national health actjust focus about... it says that no one should pay for in order to an tissue donation anyone found culpable is liable to one year in prison or a fine of about $2000, there about. you have this organ trafficking going on in nigeria. authorities focus more on child trafficking rather than organ trafficking. you see a lot of arrest and prosecution for that when it comes to organ trafficking it's nojohnny on the spot. the world health organization says covid— 19 is no longer a global health emergency, after three years of lives and economies turned upside down , and millions of deaths. and economies turned upside down, and millions of deaths. the who's head, tedros adha

um where does nigeria stand regionally? a country that size and wells fargo police should be wielding farm or cloud, but it does with its its regional neighbors. what part will foreign policy look like on the, the new president? yeah. that very clear for him. publish the objective day. yeah. suppose you are on one of them. exactly. security, but you, you know, we have about 2500000 people display as an image chat because of that. well, i looked at the building countries because of the, of the war against the book wire on, on, on, i swap. so of course, there is a more not not doing task force between including and, and do a child or come at room working, working together collaboratively to ensure that the reading in when, when the war on terror. and he has to continue on the done on. that's that is because it's a very clear, a clear one. also in the west african region, we've seen cruisers and times in my lead. booking on fossil and various and clean and jet was on board. is that in addition rather than it doesn't involve an

., nigeria, are they? some of them are, but it _ nigeria, are they?ome of them are, but it was decided _ nigeria, are they? some of them are, but it was decided by - nigeria, are they? some of them are, but it was decided by the i are, but it was decided by the nigerian partners, some are here on long—term loan alternate loan, some in nigeria, some are in galleries, some in storage for research. so it is much more complex than sometimes we can imagine, because it is a decision made ljy because it is a decision made by the nigerians, who are now the owners of the objects. m012? the owners of the ob'ects. now that's interesting. i the owners of the objects. now that's interesting. so _ the owners of the objects. now that's interesting. so what do you think your decisions here in germany, about your benin bronzes, what do they seems much more likely to agree that they should be returned to nigeria, what is the message? t nigeria, what is the message? i cannot talk about a british or french or whatever colleagues, but i know that there are many dialogues

nigeria cannot even leave their city when the historical monuments of our country are destroyed. saw that i was excited and i was saying to myself why that even one percent of these works should not be in our own country. in recent years, some countries demanded the return of valuable objects and their history from london , but england rejected it, and the only blow was to rent these objects to these countries. the legacy is bigger than the brands that have been collected in this issue, the cyrus charter of aboriginal australians, the diamond of africa, which was used in the coronation ceremony of the 14th of the third, and caused african citizens and officials to protest, then the lawyer and activist jahanpour kamkar you are on your way to return this gem for many years, the countries that england has stolen from have been demanding the return of their history, the british government will return it from forughi kept here. atefeh godini of sed and samia news agency . there was a fight between the police and the french protesters in northern france. with the visit of the french pr

between and the current country of nigeria in this regard, nigeria says that they took the burden of the history of benin, the identity of this country, and among the people of nigeria , i had the chance to see this museum. more than 90% of the people of nigeria cannot even leave their city. i was shocked and i was saying to myself why even 1% of these works should be in our own country. in recent years, some countries demanded to return their precious objects and their history from london, but england rejected it and the only blow was to rent these objects. to these countries , this legacy is bigger than the brands based on that in this matter, the charter of human rights of cyrus has been collected, the work of the australian aborigines, the diamond of the star of africa, which was used in the coronation ceremony of the 14th of the third , and caused african citizens and officials to protest. for years, the countries that england has stolen from have been demanding the return of their history . will the british government return the stolen property kept here? sacrifice is there on

but to be clear, the bronzes are not yet back in nigeria.ut it was decided by the nigerian partner. some are here on permanent loan or a long—term loan, some are in nigeria, some are in the galleries, some are in storage for research, so it's much more complex than sometimes we can imagine because it is a decision made by the nigerians who are now the owners of the objects. now that's interesting. so what do you think your decisions here in germany about your benin bronzes, what do they imply, for example, for the british museum, which actually has perhaps the world's leading collection of benin bronzes and which seems much more reluctant than you to agree that they must ultimately be returned to nigeria? what's the message? i cannot talk on behalf of my british or french or whatever colleagues, but i know that there are many, many dialogues needed for common solutions, and we are still in contact not only with partners in nigeria. i'm looking forward to what happens in britain, what happens in france and in many other collections, and perha
