BEVERLY HILLS, January 26, (THEWILL) – Bolu, son of former presidential spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, who recently revealed that he is gay, has kicked against the anti-gay law in Nigeria, saying some of those who signed the law in 2014 are gay themselves.
In an Instagram live session, Bolu also took on women who are homophobic, saying women should be the one pushing for acceptance of gay men so they do not end up marrying gay men. According to him, many women are married to gay men who are living double lives and that makes their lives a sham.
He is of the opinion that some of the women who are aware about their husband’s gay status do not mind for obvious reasons; either because of societal pressure to be referred to as a married woman or most likely because the men are wealthy and the women would prefer to be in a sham marriage with the trappings of wealth.
He also took a swipe at Christians who are quick to point out that homosexuality is a sin, (perhaps in a veiled reference to his dad). He averred that many Christians are hypocrites who attempt to differentiate sins as listed in the Bible. He said while Christians call homosexuality a sin, they themselves commit fornication and adultery while hiding behind religion and never see it as sin.
Bolu, a Master’s Degree holder in International Management from NEOMA Business School currently resides in France.
