US-based Nigerian professor, Uju Anya, has responded to Nigerian men who criticize her for being a lesbian and claim that homosexuality is not African.
She revealed on Twitter that many of the women who slide into her direct messages to confess to being closeted lesbians are married women who are forced to stay in their marriages due to the society they live in.
She further revealed that some of these women, who are living in major African cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt and Nairobi, sometimes request to be hooked up with a gay partner online.
According to Uju, this negates the claim that homosexuality is not African because there are many gays who are hiding their sexuality in Africa.
She added that if Africans continue criticizing homosexuality, they will end up building societies filled with lies and misery.

“These men who attack me for being gay, saying it’s not part of African culture, lemme tell you 3 things:
1. Your wives lying in bed next to you in Africa enter my DMs EVERY DAY saying they’re gay and trapped in marriage with you, because family and society gave them no choice.
2. Your African wives say they (and many others they know like them especially in Port Harcourt, Lagos, Nairobi) don’t miss a thing I say on Twitter, but can’t openly follow me or like my tweets, because you their African husbands follow me, and they’re afraid you’ll see them.
3. When I do matchmaking threads, gay women married to African men are the LARGEST group asking for anonymous posts not to identify themselves publicly. They even beg me to create threads just for them to find each other.
**2nd largest group is married men seeking side chicks.
When I tell homophobic African men their wife is in my DMs, I’m not joking. I hear from enough African wives *DAILY* to know y’all should stop this “homosexuality is not African” BS and build societies where your own hatred and violence don’t force you to live in lies and misery.”
