Before you feel sorry for Africa...

Yes, I want to help countries like Nigeria....but, this certainly doesn't make me feel like I want to fork out any money to help them.
A 50 year old man has been sentenced by a Nigerian court to death by stoning after he admitted in court he has had sex with men.

The man, whose name has not been made public, had been charged with sodomy and brought before a Sharia or Islamic court in northern Nigeria. Following a brief trial he was acquitted.

But, according to a UN report, the judge then asked the man if he had ever had sex with another man. When the man answered yes the judge convicted him of sodomy and sentenced him to death.
