A commentary on Covid-19 and the LGBT community in Nigeria
Since the onset of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there has been substantial research and information in media about the mechanisms, and health and economic impacts of COVID-19.

In t…

There is a dearth of research on homophobic bullying in Nigerian schools. Using data from 14 in-depth interviews and public media sources that were analyzed thematically, this formative research examined homophobic bullying using Nigerian universities as a case study to bring attention to the need for policies and interventions to make schools safe for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students despite the criminalization of homosexual acts…
Sexual hazards, life experiences and social circumstances among male sex workers in Nigeria

In-depth interviews were used to explore the experiences of six male sex workers …
