The West African Country of Nigeria is planning to launch a sex offender registry. According to them, they plan to make the registry public, but also according to them, they acknowledge that the purpose of the registry is to “name and shame” those who are on it.

I have been to Nigeria. I do not worry about a registry there because you couldn’t pay me to go back.
If a 3rd world country such as Nigeria starts a sex offender registry and has all the same restrictions that ours has with where the person can or cannot live, their already poor country will be FLOODED with homelessness. Then let’s see how their politicians like that idea.
Interesting that the government actually acknowledges the naming and shaming of the Registry. Does that also mean punitive as well?
I mention this because if our country and Nigeria have similar Registries and Nigeria acknowledges the punitive aspect of their Registry doesn’t that weaken the US argument that it isn’t?
