The app was definitely free to use. It was easy to use and has the same swiping mechanics as the other apps. The only difference is you can tell the people who liked you and also it works like a social media app too with it facebook-like scheme. Thank you to the Taimi Team. I definitely recommend this app to other people to use. So dating as a closeted for now trans guy isn't the easiest thing, especially in a very conservative area. I downloaded Taimi to meet friends and maaaaaaybe explore the dating world in a way that I'm comfortable and my identity is respected.

I never expected to meet him, but after hours of silly conversations, late night phonecalls, and time spent with someone I think is really amazing, I've got my first serious boyfriend in a healthy and non-toxic relationship. I'm so much happier and can't stop smiling, honestly love him with all I've got and can't wait to see what life's got in store. Huge thank you to the team for making this app such a great place. When the pandemic is over, I look forward to my first real date.

Taimi made finding someone that I can trust, open up to, and fall in love with do much easier than I ever thought it would be. Hell, I'm confident enough now, after living out of the closet on Taimi, that I'm planning to come out to my family within the next month or so. There's someone for you out there. I would really enjoy seeing where we can change our location. Location is very important even knowing where people are that we are looking at. I cannot get this stupid app to update my location. They talk to you then ghost you for no reason. I was chatting with one before I left for thanksgiving and all of a sudden gone.

Someone else reached out then same.

Guys seem to be a little better on here. I guess. The SSMPA has helped create a generalized climate of fear and self-censorship for LGBT people and contributed to a culture of impunity for police and members of the general public. LGBT individuals and human rights defenders in Nigeria told Human Rights Watch that following the enactment of the SSMPA, they have been at particular risk of violence from members of the public because of their real or perceived sexual orientation.

This violence takes many forms, including public beatings, sexual violence, psychological violence, and deprivations of their liberty. Mob attacks, in which groups of people in public settings hunt down and beat individuals, have taken place in broad daylight while the police have stood by or, in some cases, actively participated in the violent attacks.

In the first reported incident of mob violence in Abuja, police officers accompanied the mob. Members of the public who participated in mob violence are believed to have been motivated by the enactment of the SSMPA. In February , in Gishiri village, Abuja, a group of about 50 people stormed the homes of individuals and severely beat at least 14 men who they suspected of being gay. Peter, another victim of the Gishiri mob attack told Human Rights what he witnessed on the night of the attack in Gishiri village:.

Human Rights Watch does not have evidence proving that the former president of Nigeria issued such instructions to members of the public. You will get 14 years in prison! The combined threat to kill and send some someone to prison for 14 years may seem incoherent. Nevertheless, it is essential to appreciate the myriad ways in which the SSMPA is used by members of the general public to instill a profound sense of fear in the lives of LGBT people.

This was not the last time that Debbie was assaulted by members of the public simply because of her sexual orientation and gender identity. On December 25, , at approximately 6 a. Debbie pretended she was dead in order to save herself. In other cases, family members have initiated mob violence. Approximately 20 people gathered, beat the couple, and marched them to the home of the traditional leader of the area.

Binta told Human Rights Watch that the group beat them with canes, dragged them on the ground, and insulted them. She told Human Rights Watch that this incident had a profound impact on both their lives. Her partner was disowned by her family. Binta was forced to leave her home in Kano, abandoning her accounting studies. She relocated to Abuja. In Ibadan, on December 14, , a mob invaded a home and took three suspected gay men, by force, to the local government office, where they were locked up overnight in a shipping container.

Desmond, one of the three, told Human Rights Watch what happened the next morning:. Efe, a year old gay man and student of Office Technology and Management in Lagos, told Human Rights Watch that on September 1, , he was physically attacked by a man he had met at a party and who knew of his sexual orientation. Several interviewees observed that perpetrators of targeted sexual violence against LGBT persons act with a sense of impunity, emboldened both by the apparent license provided by the law, and, perhaps, by the silencing effect of a climate of fear.

The statements set out below do not suggest that LGBT people did not experience sexual violence prior to the passage of the SSMPA; as indicated above, this reports finds that the law has made a bad situation worse. Sharon fled from her family home in Kano in early after her mother expelled her upon learning that she was a lesbian. So I did not report. In every instance, the victim did not report the rape to the police or any other legal or medical authorities due to the fear of prosecution and imprisonment under the SSMPA:.

Human Rights Watch interviewed gay men who reported that they had been sexually assaulted after the SSMPA was passed, by perpetrators who knew about the law. These victims also did not report the crimes. Jason, a gay man in Lagos, met a man through a mobile phone dating app in January , and, after chatting with him, went to meet him at a hotel.

However, once Jason entered the hotel room, six men barged in and began beating him. Jason told Human Rights Watch:. Jason did not report the gang rape to the police. LGBT people are fearful of arrest and imprisonment on the basis of their real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity and many interviewees reported a new and profound fear of extortion, violence, and abuse at the hands of the police.

At least 17 people interviewed by Human Rights Watch reported that they had been detained by the police for the first time in their lives, some of them multiple times, since the passage of the SSMPA. It appears that the SSMPA is used as a tool by the police to humiliate and degrade LGBT individuals, with flagrant impunity, often in the presence of members of the public.

George described how they were humiliated at the police station:. According to Oscar, on their last day in detention, the police loaded them onto the back of an open police jeep and drove them around the city to show members of the public the gay men who had been arrested.

In addition, Human Rights Watch interviewed several men who had been assaulted and tortured during arrests and detention. LGBT individuals and members of organizations and networks that provide services and support to the LGBT community reported that they had to set aside funds in order to pay extortion demanded by the police.

For instance, neither George nor his friend, arrested on the eve of the passage of the SSMPA, were formally charged with any offence. Harry, a gay man and peer educator from Lagos, told Human Rights that in February , his year-old friend was stopped by the police in the street in Lagos. According to Harry:.

Interviewees told Human Rights Watch that they had been humiliated, physically abused, and tortured by police while in police custody solely because they were suspected of being gay men. Jason, a year-old gay man from Lagos, said police arrested him at home in August after a group of men who had previously gang-raped him reported him to the police as being gay. Human Rights Watch interviewed eight of the 21 young men who were arrested, but not formally charged, at the birthday party in May in Ibadan. They told Human Rights Watch that at the police station, police beat several of them, including with rifle butts and wooden planks.

In early , James, a year-old gay man, visited a man whom he met online in Ado Ekiti, southwest Nigeria. Why are you doing this!? Abioye, a cleaner at a government office, said that police in Ibadan arrested him in June on his way home from work.

They beat him further when they saw pictures of him with his partner. The police arrested 12 of the 24 people attending the meeting. We were held at a police station. They did not give us food or water. At first our friends were scared to come and attend to us.

For the first three days we had no food or water. After three days people from my office came to the station and brought us food. We slept on the floor of the police cell; there was no mattress or bed. We were not allowed to make any calls; the police had taken our phones away. We did not have a lawyer. We were screaming, begging them to stop.

Three police officers carrying whips would come into the cell once a day and beat us.

They hit me mostly on my back and head. The beating would last for maybe 30 minutes or more. After I was released I had to go to the hospital for treatment because of the injuries and the malaria that I contracted. The guys I was detained with also had wounds and some got stomach ulcers because we were not getting meals. At the hospital, we could not tell them what happened to us, because if they knew, we would not be treated. How much do you have in your account?

Gay men are so rich. LGBT individuals reported numerous incidents during which their rights to privacy were violated simply because of their sexual orientation. Efe, a year-old gay man from Lagos, said police regularly stop and search anyone who appears to be gay, based on dress or physical appearance. LGBT interviewees told Human Rights Watch that they feel compelled to conceal their sexual orientation or gender identity because the SSMPA gives members of the public tacit permission to commit acts of violence against them with impunity.

In cases where LGBT individuals are victims of crime, they are often afraid to report to the police for fear of being arrested and imprisoned for 14 years.
