In a society like Nigeria that frowns at homosexuality, it is very uncommon to see those linked to such act to openly admit being one. One cannot forget in a hurry how controversial artiste Charly Boy frowned at being called a gay by a national daily, which led to a one-billion Naira lawsuit against the newspaper that published such story about him.
Even with the fact that Charly Boy is a media frenzy person, he raised an eyebrow over that type of 'publicity stunt' which he felt was damaging to his image and person.
Some months ago, it was reported that Nollywood actor, Arinze Okonkwo may have allegedly be connected with such act and was insinuated that he was not a straight person in terms of his sexuality. He was reported to have left an event hall when Paul Obazele requested that any person practising homosexual should leave the hall before being disgraced.
As reported, Arinze walked out of the hall which raised questions about his sexuality.
At an event held in Lagos recently,
Nigeriafilms.com sought his view about the rumour surrounding his sexuality. He was furious and was quick to ask if those saying he was gay do not know that he is married and also recently had a child?
"They don’t know I’m married? That I just had a baby? I am not [a gay]. It is stupid for anybody to think that [I am gay]. Haha, I dated so many girls and I am now a married man, don’t even think about it. If that was your first question, I won’t even answer you. I do not entertain nonsense from anybody.
"I am a child of God. I am a praise leader in my church. The person saying that does not know me and when people don’t know you, that is when they talk rubbish. I don’t care what anybody says about me. I am standing straight and I know God is my witness," Arinze told

moniq | 10/31/2012 7:27:27 AMu should stop defending cos i see nothing wrong in some one expressing his or her feelings and sexuality, lesbian or homosexual is some peoples lifestyle and sexuality and they need not to apologies for that

BJCHI | 10/31/2012 1:47:23 PMI don't know if he is gay or not and I don't care, but being in a certain profession does not exclude you from being gay. Anyway people need to get out of other peoples' bedrooms and mind their own business.

habab | 11/2/2012 9:46:48 AMInfact some people have lost sense of belonging. I can't imagine the reason why some humanbeings will be taken judgement into their hands whereas God has already told us that we sould not judge one another. I pity that one dat is calling on Servants of God Names is like the end of ur life has come. If they lay cause on you ur gone and gone forever after now u will say ur people in ur village are against u without knowing dat u are the cause of problem by bringing course upon urself. I'm refering to lalaland.

LinneaKayla | 11/27/2012 1:32:47 PMSharon, I saw them on the TV news too. It was bittersweet since they're now so eldlery and one is in a wheelchair and seems in poor health. I agree about legislating love. You'd think they'd want to promote any kind of love with all the hate in the world right now.

THE BELOVED | 4/25/2013 7:18:32 AMDONT BE QUICK TO JUDGE FRIENDS. I WAS GAY FOR ABOUT 17 YEARS OF MY LIFE B4 I MET CHRIST. MANY PPLE CASTIGATED ME THEN AND I ALMOST THOUGHT OF SUICIDE. BUT THANKS TO GOD THAT NOW I AM DIFFERENT. OF COURSE I DONT ADVOCATE HOMOSEXUALITY BUT YOU ALL MUST REALIZE THAT THE ACT IS SATANIC AND ONLY GOD CAN SAVE THOSE INVOLVED IN IT. SO YOU SHOULD PRAY FOR THEM THAT GOD MAY SAVE THEM. I TELL YOU THAT JESUS IS STILL WORKING ON ME AND IF HE CARES THAT MUCH ABOUT US ALL THEN WE MUST CARE ENOUGH TO PRAY FOR THE SALVATION OF OTHERS. REMEMBER, LOVE NEVER FAILS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
