Bolu Okupe, the son of former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe has accused most African men of practicing bi-s*xualism.
It would be recalled that in January 2021, Bolu Okupe came out as gay. He has since become one of the most outspoken LGBTQ activists in Nigeria.
In an Instagram post shared on Friday morning, Bolu said bis*xuality within African communities needs to be more openly discussed because there are quite a number of bis*xual African men.
Bolu further stated that because of the stigma, the majority of these men remain in the closet and go on to marry women who do not know they are bis*xual.
He then told women that many of them are already married to or will eventually marry bis*xual men.
Controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu has again, made a U-turn on his sexuality, while opening up on why he denied being gay.
Recall that after weeks of coming out about his sexuality, Uche later denied being gay. He had stated in an Instagram post that he was only fighting for the LGBT community and this decision to come out as gay made him lose movie roles, endorsement deals and his girlfriend.
Interestingly, the actor has now come out to say that the reason he denied being gay was because he was arrested, beaten and forced to deny his sexuality.
Speaking further, Uche said he is 100% gay and not even the government can make him deny his sexuality.
In his words; “I was arrested, beaten for 3 hours and told to deny being Gay…
I am 1000% GAY not even buhari can take away my Jesus given identity #ImpeachBadPresident”

You will always be my baby but – No buts. You say you love me, then love me.
