What People Are Saying
A KDian sent me this. He was trolling through some blogs yesterday, and stumbled on a blogpost on SDK’s blog (you know, that blog owned by the woman that’s like Linda Ikeji’s arch nemesis or something). Anyway, an anonymous user sent in an email seeking urgent advice from readers. According to the post, he is a ‘gay born-again Christian’ who wants to become straight and get married. The Kitodiariesian took screen-grabs of some of the comments.
The comments are quite amusing and insightful. And saddening as well, when you consider the double lives gay folks in Nigeria have to live. Check on them below.

August 03, 07:42I wish we’d just let people marry who they want to marry or love who they want to love…its sad the amount of effort Nigerians go into masquerading their true identities. Living a double life like this is too tasking, its no wonder the majority of Nigerians do not live to their 80th birthday.

August 03, 07:45wow! just wow @the comment about the lesbian who lives with a gay husband. That might have to be my option eventually, but even the thought of deceit and false living on that scale scares me stiff! its sad what a hypocritical and intolerant society we’ve had the misfortune to be born in *wipes tears*

August 03, 07:46‘the thought of deceit and false living on that scale’ Are ya kidding me? Does it get any more deceitful than suffering through a marriage with a straight woman who you can’t tell who you truly are?
