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.
How about we take this to the next level?

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!
