Spleanicus Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 A Nigerian man has been committed to a mental institute in Kano state despite being given a clean bill of health because he declared he did not believe in God, a humanist charity has said.http://richarddawkins.net/2014/07/nigerian-put-in-mental-hospital-for-atheism/
jacbot Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 He has already been released...the doctors went on strike! LOL http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-28158813 >>Mr Bala said he now wanted to reconcile with his family who committed him to the hospital in Kano where he says he was held against his will for 18 days. >>But he said he wanted to leave the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria after receiving death threats. The guy needs to listen to Stef M about DEFOO! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion_in_Nigeria >>>A 2010 poll by Pew Research Center showed that 51% of Nigerian Muslims agree with death penalty for leaving Islam.[5] In some parts of Nigeria, there are even apostasy laws.[6 Think will be the same mentality under Christains in Nig. (maybe not the death penalty as punishement but still.). This part I dont fully understand in the link: >>>When this doctor found him to be fit and well, the family are then believed to have taken him to a doctor and asked if he was mentally ill. So...he went along freely to this doctors visit or was this all at gunpoint?
