Below is what you are otherwise you would not talk like someone who has never set foot in Africa or perhaps does not mingle with anyone whwn there.

Something that is already rampant everywhere in Africa, courtesy of social media and freely available porn, is "never going to work in Africa"?

Same Africa where many women and men are today casually lesbian, bisexual and gay?

Talk your homophobic machismo ish online all you want but let me tell you that no one cares about all that lesbian, gay,bi thing on the ground in Nigeria where it is now as common as indomie.

Abeg make una free Tinubu, PDP na expert for misgovernance, make dem focus on fixing d mess dem caused before dey criticize our capable leader.

The daughter of Cameroon's president has said she hopes that her coming out as a lesbian can help change the law banning same-sex relations in her country.

Brenda Biya told the Le Parisien newspaper that there were many people in her situation and she hoped to inspire them.

The 27-year-old shared an image of her kissing another woman last week, sparking mixed reactions in Cameroon.

"I’m crazy about you & I want the world to know,” she said in the Instagram post with a picture of her embracing Brazilian model Layyons Valença.

In the interview with France's Le Parisien, external, she said she had not informed anyone in her family before publishing the post.

“Coming out is an opportunity to send a strong message,” she said.

She added that she found the anti-gay law, which existed before her father came to power, “unfair and I hope that my story will change it".

Paul Biya, 91, has been Cameroon's president since 1982 and is one of Africa's longest-serving leaders.

Ms Biya said she had been with the Brazilian model for eight months and had already taken her to Cameroon three times without telling her family they were in a relationship.

The musician, who lives abroad, said she had received many messages of support as well as negative reactions since posting about her relationship.

She was happy to reveal her status, adding she wanted to give hope and "send love" to those suffering "because of who they are [and] help them feel less alone".

It was her brother who called her first after the post, angry that she had published it without warning the family, she told Le Parisien.

Her parents, the president and First Lady Chantal Biya, later called wanting her to delete the post. “Since then, it’s been silence,” she said.

She said she had her first crush on a girl when she was 16, but said that it was difficult to express her love because of the situation in her country.

Same-sex relations are against the law in Cameroon and are punishable by up to five years in prison.

There has been no public comment by the president or the first lady.

A government official told the BBC the authorities had decided not to comment, as it was a family issue.

Rights groups that have been criticising Cameroon’s laws against same-sex relations have been praising Ms Biya’s revelation as a courageous move.

But questions have been raised about whether coming out is a privilege that can only be enjoyed by a select few in the country.

"Anti-LGBT laws in Cameroon disproportionately target the poor. Wealth and connections create a shield for some, while others face severe consequences,” LGBT activist Bandy Kiki earlier said in a post on Facebook, external.

On Tuesday a group which backs the current laws filed a complaint against Ms Biya to the public prosecutor.

Philippe Nsoue from the DDHP Movement said they were seeking justice, saying that although Ms Biya was the president's daughter, "no-one is above the law".

“Whenever a Cameroonian citizen or foreigner commits acts that go against the [LGBT] situation in our country, we must seek judicial recourse,” he said.

Peter Obi is the worst thing to ever happen to Nigerian politics. Bullying and intimidation is now the order of the day.

However, they are also hypocrites. Same idiots hailed Emoney, and one pastor (ijelespeak) for locking up those that defamed them online. When another person does the same thing, they start crying

Shomek:
you're Right about this

helinues:
Any ganging up in North can only be from NW. At worst they would scatter the votes from the region. NC don't align with NW decisions, they like to play neutral in Nigeria politics .

Btw, whoever that might be ganging up from North even in general, former president Buhari can never be part

helinues:
Who killed late Dora Akunyili's husband as you brought late Funsho Williams case now?

Na northerners carry coffin to mock GEJ not the Yoruba's. The same GEJ some people refused to move on from his election loss is still causing trouble in a region in Nigeria while the region where the same GEJ came from moved on long time, hahah, I remember Bayelsa people voted for Lyon then .

If Buhari paid fuel subsidy for good 8 years, why didn't the oppositions stage a protest the same way the then opposition Apc staged protest against GEJ?

sIfioksq:
Tinubu's track record of successful leadership and economic development in Lagos has earned him the support of Nigerians, unlike Atiku who has a record of corruption and failed promises. Elrufai's threat is baseless and will not deter Tinubu's supporters from backing him in 2027.

helinues:
You saw the challenge there, oya help your paddy

helinues:
Oya point out to whoever from SS that I use the hate tag on?

So you are a northerner today, no longer Lagos 1st son? Can't you see how inferiority complex is doing you shaka shaka on this forum

Your father would have been deported back to Abia long before anyone will think of deporting him.

Goodvibes007:

Goodvibes007:

Goodvibes007:

Philipponzaghi:
Ekun oko Remi, we need your leadership in 2027, don't let Elrufai stop you!

Most of these books written by Biafran soldiers are full of self centred lies. Cheap Onitsha market literature full of propaganda and lies.

CyrusVI:

The funny thing is that the Ikwerre people from time immemorial have always seen themselves as a superior ethnic group. Most of them came to Ikwerre land either as slaves or farm help and this is why we call them Isuoma. Good Slaves.
We have never being them or them us. The demarcation is there. There was a scientific study carried out that established that the Ikwerres have more link to the Binis than any other ethnic group in Nigeria. This perhaps give credence to the Ikwerre claims that they came from Bini. Search online you will see it.
