Lesbianism is a crime in Nigeria, which attracts up to 10 to 14 years jail term for defaulters. The law prohibiting it was enacted and subsequently signed in 2014 by Former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Despite the existence of the law, Nigeria still has a thriving lesbianism community.
Some of these lesbians still practice and advocate a free society for their relationship, especially on social media.
This report looks at three top lesbians in Nigeria, who have taken their lesbianism practice to the next level, in total defiance to the law and public disgust.
