How i was embarrassed simply because i looked gay - Nigerian man recounts
The man with the Twitter handle @BodilawFortune, wrote
''I initially didn't want to do this, but I think it's necessary to save other people from unnecessary stigmatization. In Ibadan today, I was assaulted by a man and his girlfriend after they gave me a free ride.
I was at Elebu Market to see someone at a restaurant. Unfortunately for me, the fellow didn't show up and I had just N50 with me which I used to buy water, hoping the person will show up.
After waiting for like 2 hours, I decide to leave as they were already looking at me 1kind
But since I didn't have money, I decided to trek home. But what I thought was a blessing turn out to be a curse. I stopped a car with 3 occupants and asked them if they were heading towards Orita Challenge which was my next destination. The car stopped and I joined them
There were 3 people, 2 men at front and a lady in the back. Some few minutes, I discovered that the lady is drunk and she was just saying rubbish to the man. I decide not to interfere cuz I was still pissed. All of a sudden, she just said 'Oyinbo, will you marry me'
I said Nooo, Oga will vex. She said who's Oga? I didn't reply. Then all of a sudden her hand was going towards my manhood. My only crime was to say. Excuse me what are you doing. And I pushed her hand away. The next I heard was big blow on my head.
I was terrified but decided not to shout. I just said what did I do now? The man at the passenger side, that I think is her boyfriend, just looked back and slapped me. That why am I talking to his girlfriend like that. That I even look like gay and he will treat my fuck up.
It was at this moment that fear gripped me. I just started begging and all of a sudden the girl dragged my cloth by my neck and was pushing me back and forth. The only thing I could say was they should just drop me that I was sorry to enter their car.
The driver was asking them to leave me that he does not want trouble (I think he's their friend) The guy asked him to stop the car where there are no much people passing. At that moment, we were close to New Garage, they just parked and I barely came down self when they zoom
I just thanked God to be alive. People around the area where looking at me like a mad man, but I wss just grateful they didn't hurt me. It was at that moment my friend called me that's he's at Elebu Market. I took bike back there & he paid before heading home
Nigerians need to stop discriminating against people you don't know. You can't just assume I'm gay because I'm light in complexion or have female face. Did I create myself. I face same stigma during some modeling audition, which is bad
I'm traumatized but life just has to go on. I hope we can all learn to live together in peace and love.''
Anything Concerning Marriage Has Been Suspended For Now- Harrysong
Harrison Tare Okiri, better known by his stage name Harrysong, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and instrumentalist , 39 has revealed that he doesn’t want any baby mama.
According to reports the eligible bachelor who once hinted of getting married in 2020 noted that he had suspended marriage temporarily because he was “not sure anymore.’’
He said;
“Everything about marriage has been suspended for now. I’m focusing more on my music and business. The truth is that I’m still young and having the passion to settle down early is a normal feeling. When you meet someone and don’t really connect is a pointer of what could happen later in life. You can’t manage yourself into a life-time journey, you have to be 100 per cent sure. In my case, I wasn’t so sure anymore. There are some things I can’t talk about. For now, I have to manage it on my own.’’
“As long as you’re above 20 years, you should be eligible for marriage. As a celebrity, distraction can be one of the reasons of not getting married early but finding the right person is very important.
“Personally I don’t support having a baby mama even though it’s a common phenomenon nowadays. Having a baby mama is a personal decision. I don’t have a baby mama because I don’t want it.’’
The artiste also said:
‘‘Young artistes are not a threat to me in any way. The sky is big enough. That’s why they came and took their own place. Music is a function of who works harder and smarter. These young guys are talented and I enjoy their music. Even in other countries, a time comes when young artistes spring up and it’s healthy for the music industry. It’s not a threat to me in any way. Rather, it’s very healthy for our industry. Sometimes, I don’t even know people who have booked me because you have to get through people to do that. I just know that I’m to perform somewhere and keep the date. You can criticise us, we’re open to it, when we (singers) make mistakes, we should be corrected and everyone should move on.’’
