Nigeria's about to get its first gay flavored feature film – and, no, that's not necessarily good news.
The film, Sinful Saints, revolves around a mama's boy whose lack of sexual experience leads him into the dark world of homosexuality. Director Dickson Iruegbu says the film will explore whether homosexuality's naturally occurring in Nigerian society of if it's a Western import.
The topic's quite taboo in Nigeria, so it come as no surprise that the actors were a little hesitant to take their roles. Iruegbu says he had to pay three times the amount. Despite the dough, actor Charles Waran doesn't have much love for the homos,
It is a tragedy that young men could find themselves gay and be proud of it. I feel challenged playing this role. It’s a love story on the fag side of life.
Waran sounds like a consummate professional.

Hey u asshole Gay lmust be vertually abolished in Nigeria know it that Nigeria is a christian country and gaynisims is only known and recognised in the muslim world where their men dosent allow their women to go outside then the men has no option that have sex with same sex so please and please Goverment shopuld do somthing immediately to stop them on time otherwise our children we suffer it and get confused about it.
Ignorance and illiteracy is not good. This Kenny man should be taken to the zoo and locked up for ever for his highly biased statement about muslims and homosexualism. His level of ignorance shows in his poor choice of words and lack of grammatical etiquete: e.g. "gaynisims", "shopuld","dosent" etc. What do these mean? Inasmuch s I do not want to trade words with such an ignoramus, I will advise him to go and study the statistics of homosexualism/lesbianism and level of prevailence in different countries. I wont say more tha that.
It is surprising that some nigerians at this time of our national development will make unguarded comments about religions,this kenny "boy" should endeavour to grow into a "man" before particpating in discusses.
I pray that God will forgive him for his utterances.
Ignorance! Ignorance! Ignorance! Can I say more…They are so many gay nigerians inside nigeria and all around the world that I am shocked that you guys could't get it. Check out the gay scene in London and New York for a start and you would be amazed. It is time you Nigerians stop decieving yourselfs! Look around you and even the ones that are more vocally homophobic are the ones with homosexual issues they are trying to deal with….(Example: Kenny). Get over it; some people are gay! Simple & short. They are everywhere even your brother, uncle, father, nephew can be one! One day you will be shocked to find out or they could take the secret to thier graves as most nigerians do!
Guys get a life and grow up.being Gay is for real within the Nigerian comunity both home and away. it is a way of life for some of us. if you cant handle it you may have to jump into "majidun River".if it is your brother, father, uncle or your son what will you do?Kill him or put him in prison? I am sure that if I say i'm married and have a mistress you will accept me with no arguement . You have one life to live why should one live a fack life?stop being a hypocrite and grow up.
