January 18, 04:27Awwwww.. What an emotional video. Wish it was that easy for us.. If it was, I’d have done it a long time ago. Their dad is cool too..
The twin in black doesn’t look bad @ all.. I’d do him on a good day if he asks nicely . ☺☺..

January 18, 04:29Yea those pouty lips of his are something. 🙂 But I think I prefer the one in grey Tee.
Max
January 18, 04:36The one in grey is more masculine.. Looks like he’d do a thing or two to you in bed. He looks kinda dangerous too in a subtle way.. And an amazing voice..
Of course, he’s your type☺

January 18, 04:37Why thanks, Maxie. *patting down curls* 😀
chestnut
January 18, 06:55Max and Pinky well done o! I see the early morning intellectual debate u ppl are having, over this issue…continu!
Speaking of which, these twins look like the kind of thing Dennis Macauley would like…(Has anybody else noticed that if u add a letter, “Twins” becomes “Twinks”?) #OkBye
Dennis Macauley
January 18, 09:13Chestie love!
Doing incredibly hot twins is on my list of “things to do before I die”.
So thankyou for calling my attention to this!
IVANKO
January 18, 17:54D way u are following lips eeehhhh… Hmmmm

January 18, 04:30These coming out videos make me wish that was the medium Kenny had used to come out instead of on Facebook. 🙂
Max
January 18, 04:33Lol … Yeah. Wouldve made more sense.
Pete
January 18, 05:07Kenny had lots of followers on Facebook. Maybe, that was why he used it; to reach out to as many people as possible. The fear of MTN data tariff will discourage Nigerians from watching the video on YouTube unless Maxie decides it’s time for some of those tutorials

Max

Lord II

Er….has this answered it now.
Django Unchained
January 18, 05:18Sorry, but, is there a need to publicly come out of the closet on social media? Why is it a fad? Couldn’t they have gone to their dad’s for this? If he rejects or accepts them, that’s when I think they ought to have come to their YouTube page. Me thinks public declaration of sexuality has been taken over by heterosexuals…
Dennis Macauley
January 18, 09:16Visibility is important! For yourself and for others!
Some kid struggling with his sexual identity will watch this and realize that he is not alone, and that it’s not wrong to be gay!
Gad
January 18, 11:03It has its very positive purposes though I consider it not very necessary
pinkpanthertb
January 18, 15:41Of course you you do.

January 18, 05:24When I first saw this video on thursday all i could think was awwww how sweet, but then I did some thinking and I found it tacky and fishy.
Coming out to the world is all nice, but coming out to one’s own father is something that should be done privately. You come out to your entire family and then you can go ahead and post a coming out video online.
This while sweet has to be a publicity stunt at least, because they’ve gone from about 50,000 subscribers to over a 100,000 after the video was posted. So I would say the video served it’s purpose.
It also feels forced and their lines here seem to be rehearsed. There are Other youtubers who have come out and done it more tastefully, Tre Melvin comes to mind, and theirs felt more natural and I actually connected with it. That plus Those other youtubers already had a msssive following due to their talents and then they came out out, these guys would have a massive following just because they came out and are hot.
Coming out is never easy and is something brave so kudos to them and their Fathers’ sweet response but I definitely smell Hollywood PR here.
Django Unchained
January 18, 05:31Thank you. My point exactly.
KyrxxX
January 18, 05:45Is it just me or does anyone else finds this fishy?
Twin brothers?
Gay?
Came out together?
On social media?
Daddy gave a loving response.
Issoright!
Mercury
January 18, 06:25I kinda do, but hey…..what can I do abt it.
Mercury
January 18, 06:24Wow!!!!!, this is nice….cute guys too. Thank God they’re not identical….that would freak me out a bit……Hope daddy dearest is open minded and accepts em.
Deola
January 18, 06:37They could easily pass off as boyfriends and not brothers…
My mind is already thinking of things I dare not write.

January 18, 06:48You dare NOT, Deola!!! Lol

January 18, 07:19Deola, please write it. For my peace of mind.

January 18, 06:57Instead of shifting focus to the containers the message came through in, I submit that the gist lies in reflecting on the contents of the message. Be it a Hollywood pr stunt, or the sole aim being to increase the amount of subscribers they’ve got and traffic, one thing is vividly lucid here, you’ll find yourself in an entirely new web of happiness when you come out to the people you care about, and that for many of us is one sea that even Moses’ rod has not been able to part for us to cross over successfully.
Absalom
January 18, 07:22True. Moses’s rod has refused to part those cheeks for us. Sigh. #DiarrisGod 🙁
Deola
January 18, 07:33I just knew you would go there, the moment I saw Rod, i just knew someone was coming for it. Lol.
Pearle
January 18, 07:49*laughs from Jerusalem to Jericho* @Abs, apparently we’re not talking about the same struggle, it won’t take a mirror on the wall to know you’re the thirstiest of them all this HO-ly morning. Continnu!

Ok.

January 18, 08:01Those lips…i’ll have them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and then some.

January 18, 08:09I can see you are Ho-ly this morning.
Khaleesi
January 18, 08:40First of all: those two boys are beautiful, the eyes, the hair, the bone structure … but weirdly i still wouldn’t fuck them … i have tried like forever to psycho-analyze myself to figure out why i cant ‘do’ white boys even when they are obviously uber hot – am not a racist outside the bedroom …
Anyway, back to the matter! I cant decide whether this is scripted or not, still looking at it with ‘odu anya’ (side eyes) … for some reason, when i see stories like this, i immediately ‘Nigerianise’ it – imagine a proud Igbo man getting a call from his 2 sons informing him that they are both gay! Haaa! While his bp is racing towards the stratosphere, his mind flashes to all the grandchildren he might not get from them, the shame when the world finds out. He will yell and scream for their mother, perhaps blame her for spoiling his boyz (some weird fathers find ways of pinning the ‘failings of kids on mothers) … if they are in school, hw will suddenly show up on campus to take them home for an intensive round of beatings and/or church delivery programs …
This highlights the vast difference in attitudes and buttresses my point when i say it will take upwards of 70 – 100years for attitudes here to change
***re-checks closet doors and falls back into bed***
Dennis Macauley
January 18, 09:20Oh Khallie you are always a buzz kill with your reality check! Can’t we just dream of a Nigeria where I can come out to my mom and she throws a garden party complete with barbecue before you snap us back to reality!
Hian*
Max
January 18, 12:00Oh honey, you just nailed it. I’ll still write a piece about homophobia in Nigeria. And you’re right, its not gonna end soon. I started realizing it recently.. This current generation will have to die off before you see any reasonable change.
masonkz
January 18, 09:07That’s some emotional stuff right there. Happy for them, and for the fact that the dad was totally accepting of them.
Word of advice: Before you start telling you family about your sexuality, especially if you’re not sure of how they’ll take it… make sure you’re totally an independent guy/girl that can actually move on with his/her life, whatever the outcome.
The less pain, the better.
PS: They definitely look good…and uhm… I guess this is my welcome comment here.

January 18, 12:42The kids are soooooooo cute.I love their courage though,but having such hopes in Naija is really a frustrating feeling.”DISOWN”is the word.

January 18, 13:08Trust pinky to share stale news, and when you send him links for at-the-moment hot topics he ignores them.

January 18, 13:47@Dom this is not a breaking news site! Sahara Reporters and Premium times exist for that purpose!
PP’s job is not easy to keep up with, please be a little nice!
