The Shoremi family in Nigeria have taken a newspaper advertorial to announce they have severed all ties with one of their daughters, Shalom, who recently tried to wed her lesbian partner here in Nigeria.
Shalom had applied for marriage license from the Federal Marriage Registry but was denied as same sex marriage is prohibited in Nigeria. Former president Goodluck Jonathan had signed the Anti-gay bill into law in 2007.
The family disowned her on the grounds that what she planned to do is against the law in Nigeria, adding that she will not be entitled to anything from the family inheritance
See the advertorial published by the Family below;
The Advertorial reads in text:
"The attention of Shoremi Family of Ogun State has been drawn to an application for a speical marriage License sought by Shalom T. Shoremi."
"She had requested for a special marriage license at the Federal Marriage License at the Federal Marriage Registry on the 22nd of March, 2018 to allow her consummate a same sex marriage, which was rejected as it is in variance with the Marriage Act of The Federal Republic of Nigeria."
"This Family is diassociating itself from this move and has severed ties with her. We also disown her on the grounds that what she planned to do is against the law in Nigeria. She will also not be entitled to anything from the family inheritance. The public should please take note."
