General Homophobic Nigerians don't want a modern civilization.
Ignoring the triviality of the Qing Madi situation, most Nigerians being homophobic is a sign of Nigerians pure moral decay and their aversion to modern society they so desperately want.
I grew up fully in Nigeria and even my parents born and bred from the village who have never been to the west still aren't half as homophobic as these fuckass Nigerians on my timeline like my parents are conservative as hell yet they don't have hatred nor look down that much on LGBTQ individuals the only sect they seem to dislike and abhor are trans individuals but that's probably from being propagandized by facebook or something.
Nigeria being a very homophobic country is a sign that Nigerian society fundamentally doesn't want liberal values, the values they want to japa to in the west is what they don't want in their own home. Nigerians want hierarchy, they love hierarchy, they love the rich Nigerians that do what they want without a care in the world, they love the political elite and economic elite that eat their future away cause when they dream they dream of them eventually becoming that class that would eat the next generations future away.
It's not even like the west is perfect far from it they're some of the most institutionally hypocritical people to exist but the hundreds of years of great minds debating yadda yadda has led to the idea of liberal values that shaped their society to become prosperous as is even tho they heavily disobey the values in their neo colonialism and stuff. But the idea of those values alone is what has led them to where they are now even tho they don't follow it like the bible.
They love the fact that they have more social rights than some individuals they revel in the idea of superiority, men are more superior to women, the rich are more superior to the poor, the healthy more superior to the sickly these all are ideas that in the Nigerian head are laws of the universe and if anything tries to tear down these laws then that's an attack on how the universe works and an attack on Nigerian society.
Nigeria cannot be a better society or at least become the society these people want it to become if it remains this shamelessly feudal. Nigeria doesn't even have to become a beacon of LGBTQ rights or anything like that hell gay rights don't even have to be created. Nigeria just has to stop with this useless attitude of might makes right big man superiority bullshit that many subscribe to. Nigerians would copy shamelessly in the name of money, they would follow trends like cattle all for the sake of social prestige and to become this big person in society so they can continue to do nonsense to other people.
