ABSTRACT
Homosexuality is the romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between members of the same sex. The ever-increasing emergence of fundamental human rights has led to acceptance of the conceptualization of homosexuality by many countries, including African countries.In many countries, homosexual marriages and other relationships are accepted by state institutions and society. However Nigeria remains an exception and homosexuality in Nigeria is not accepted or recognized by the state.
This study focused on a Jurisprudential analysis of homosexuality and same sex marriages: supporting the Nigerian perspective. The study made use of secondary data using textbook, journals, citation, cases and internet resources to justify the phenomenon under study. Finding from the study reveals that the issue of homosexuality is one of the few areas which gained majority support of Nigerians and the House of Assembly, unlike other issues which had divided opinion; the reason behind this is that Nigeria is a country; irrespective of her bad and corrupt image to the outside world, still holds strongly to morality when making laws. The study therefore recommends that Nigerian government should not accredit diplomats of same-sex marriage sent to the country by a foreign country that has legalised same sex marriage and More so the Nigerian legislature should go ahead and criminalize homosexuality.
