Popular Nigerian gay activist/pastor, Jide Rebirth Macaulay has asked popular comedian, Ogusbaba to stop promoting homophobic acts through his comedy videos.


Macaulay made this known after a skit made by Ogusbaba went viral on social media. He said the video would only promote homophobic attacks in Nigeria.

His reply: "This is absolutely despicable, outright foolish. My attention was drawn to a homophobic sketch by a popular comedian called Ogusbaba, @ogusbaba @laogusbaba."

The video portrayed a violent homophobic attack of a gay character in what is titled Lekki Gay.

"We all have a sense of humour, however this sketch does more than create laughter. It glorifies and glamorizes homophobic attacks faced daily in reality for many LGBT people in Nigeria."

"I am consulting with my colleagues both at home in Nigeria and anywhere else so we can take action."

"We would also seek to intercept any foreign plan programme, as I understand that Ogusbaba tours America and Europe frequently."

"Ogusbaba need to understand that this is not funny. Your comedy is giving licence to haters to attack gay people. If you don’t like same s*x, then don’t have s*x with someone of the same s*x."

"Unfortunately, Nigeria currently have laws against consenting same s*x between adults."

"We urge Ogusbaba to withdraw this sketch, apologise to the gay community and condemn any homophobic abuse as a result of this comedy."

The reverend was forced to flee Nigeria in 2008 after receiving death threats for setting up a safe space for LGBT Nigerians to worship.
