Draw a comparison between the political climate of the 1950s and 1960s and modern times, referencing Nigeria and its treatment of certain groups.
It's the 1950s & 1960s, ver. 2.0
Back then, all a dictator had to do was scream that people leading popular revolts were Commies, and the guns, bombs, and helicopter gunships would come streaming in.
Now, all a dictator has to do is scream that people leading popular revolts are terrorists, and the same result happens.
Nigeria does have a huge problem with the Boko Haram (sp?) group, but part of it also is Muslims and Christians don't get along and fight each other, the upper classes control everything, and the rulers have figured out that if they blame everything wrong in the country on gay people, Christians and Muslims unite just long enough to persecute the gay folks.
