    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?
