No. Attempting to enter into a same-sex marriage or civil union is now a criminal act under Nigerian law, punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment. Public displays of same-sex affection (such as holding hands) can bring up to 10 years imprisonment. Same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Nigeria and there is no legal recognition of same-sex relationships of any kind.
