Thanks to limited resources, and the fact that Nigerians are still quite sensitive to gender issues, we can't usually provide as much support as is needed for our LGBTQ+ members. One of us has set up a WhatsApp group that will be primarily focused on queer humanists.

Send me a private message if you fit the category and would like to join, so I can pass on your contact details. Also inform your LGBTQ+ contacts who share our humanist values. NB: This includes Nigerians and other nationals. Thank you and have a nice day!

State Security Agents invite AfAW for a meeting over event in Benue..... The state security service has invited our contact person in Makurdi for a meeting to discuss our seminar next week. It seems that lessons have not been learnt..

INVITATION BY DSS: Instead of tackling witchcraft accusation and witch persecution, state security agents are more interested in undermining advocacy against witchcraft allegations. What a shame!

On this date, last year, the Humanists Association of Nigeria, with the support of @HumanistsInt, facilitated the first interfaith/belief dialogue in Abuja. It was a great success. Thanks to all who made it happen.
