Apparently, Kito Is A Joke To Some Members Of The Community

2019 is sure breeding stupidity way too early in the year.

I used to think that the scum of the earth are those gay men who use their access in the community to victimise fellow gay men. I however have been made to realise that those scum are joined by those who turn these very traumatic experiences into a joke. Into something to trend with. Those who are so insensitive to the very real pain of being a kito victim, that they would use it to fan their online notoriety.

A Port Harcourt resident (pictured above) who, according to his Facebook account goes by the name Ryan Drew Umeaku, in his own words, decided to be this stupid.

In a Facebook gay group (if you can imagine the level of this stupidity), he made a prejudicial post slamming gay guys and hailing homophobia.

“I hate gay guys,” he posted in the group, Lag Cute TB. “Who is a fellow homophobic man like me? so absurd banging your fellow guy. Eeew. Me and my bae enjoying New Year joor. Nothing do us.”

He kept up with his controversy in the comments section, where he boasted of his exploits in the kito game, even posting a screenshot of a video where he allegedly was part of a gang that kitoed a gay guy.

The post went viral, beyond the group even, with screenshots and the narrative that he was a kito guy who is gay. Something that is a just conclusion, considering his antics on the post. A few people stormed my DMs with pictures and cries of alarm, demanding for his exposure.

And I was going to word this post as a kito alert, when new screenshots were made available to me. someone had gone to confront him on what was going on, and in that conversation, he admitted to making it all up.

I do not know what is worse: that a gay man would willfully hurt someone else in the community who has trusted him with his personal space, or that a gay man would completely disregard the seriousness of experiences like this and use it as a means of indulging his hunger for controversy.

THIS IS WRONG!!!

One of the major objectives of posting the kito stories we read here is not to entertain us. It is to humanize this suffering, this disadvantage, this pain that the Nigerian society would like to ignore. And it is sheer wickedness when members of the same afflicted community either turn around to inflict the same pain on one another, or treat it like a joke.

We should do better!

And Ryan Drew Umeaku, if you’re reading this, SHAME ON YOU!

    Is it wrong for me to wish this guy experiences a kito situation? He needs some sense beaten into him.

    A writeup would have been okay, yhu didn’t need to out the guy, since we don’t know if he actually kitoed anyone or not, even at that violating peoples privacy is a no no.

      No, it wldnt have. And he’s not ousting him; of anything, he’s ousting himself. It’s all a whiplash from his own actions. Plus, It’s a part of the story. The bottom line that a member of the community wld joke about such a thing. It’s downright ridiculous. Well, let’s all watch and see how it wld all end

    Real question here is: How the hell did a post like this gets approved in a gay group? Like how did an Admin/Moderator of a gay group approve a post of this nature? If this nonsense was deleted outrightly, all these unnecessary drama wouldn’t have happened. Somethings are not meant to see the light of day ???

      Lol. According to sources, it doesn’t even look like the group has an active admin. Nor are there restrictions to posts, no approval notices. Plus it appears the group is public too. Not secret. Even non group members can simply saunter in and see what’s going on.

    The funny part about this is that I know this guy up close. And I am just seeing this for the first time. The guy is currently in the states.
