“LGBT: Knocks As Nigeria Signs $150 Billion Samoa Deal,” reads the headline of the Daily Trust article published on July 4, 2024. The newspaper is Nigeria’s most influential daily in the Muslim-dominated conservative north. The newspaper reported that Africa’s most populous country had signed a “$150 billion” accord with the EU containing clauses that “compel underdeveloped and developing nations to support the agitations by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community for recognition, as a condition for getting financial and other support from advanced societies”. Named after the Pacific Island of Samoa where it was promulgated on November 15, 2023, the treaty is commonly known as the “Samoa Agreement”.
