Acceptance of homosexuality in Nigeria is very low. In 2019, only seven percent of respondents in the country declared that homosexuality should be accepted by the society. Nevertheless, this was an increase by six percentage points compared to 2013. Homosexuality in Nigeria is criminalized - the death penalty is imposed or at least a possibility for same-sex sexual activity.
