In religiously conservative Nigeria, being gay could land you in jail. That's what some 30 men are facing in Lagos when they appear in court at the end of November for committing homosexual acts. The sentence? Up to 14 years in prison. That and harassment by "Yahoo Boys" -- internet fraudsters who have taken to posting fake profiles on gay dating and meet-up sites -- has Nigerian gays living in fear.
