MASSACRE:-. ABOUT 200 GAY TO BE IMPRISONED FOR LIFE IN UGANDA. READ MORE

Ugandan newspaper has published a list of what it called the country's 200 top homosexuals, outing some who previously had not identified themselves as gay, a day after the president enacted a harsh anti-gay law.

 The Red Pepper tabloid published the names
and some pictures in a front-page story under the headline: "EXPOSED!"

The list included prominent Ugandan gay activists such as Pepe Julian Onziema, who has repeatedly warned that the new law could spark violence. There was also a popular Ugandan hip-hop star as well as a Catholic priest.

Few Ugandans identify themselves as gay, and the tabloid's publication of alleged homosexuals recalled a similar list published in 2011 by a now defunct tabloid that called for the execution of gay people.

The new law punishes gay sex with up to life in jail, a measure criticised as draconian in a country where homosexuality had already been criminalised.

What do you think? Should Nigeria do the same?
