The practice of homosexuality in Nigeria is embattled by a plethora of obstacles, chief among which are; the social stigma and the 2014 law which banned sexual relationships between persons of the same sex.

In spite of these obstacles, homosexuality continues to thrive in the country, albeit, with caution. In December 2020, Nigeria emerged one of the highest users on popular gay dating platform Grindr, the world’s largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people.

According to statistics provided by Google Trends for 2020, Nigeria witnessed surges in the search for gay porn in March and another in April. It is noteworthy that those increased interests in gay pornographic contents happened around the period the country embarked on a nationwide lockdown in March.
