A viral video making the waves online and depicting a gay assault scenario, has gotten people seriously talking.
A scene from the comedy
A comedy skit created by a Nigerian comedian Ogusbaba depicting a
gay man who is about to be sexually assaulted has sparked a heated
debate. The debate has become so heated that prominent gay rights
activists like Bisi Alimi and Nigeria's first openly gay pastor,
Reverend Jide Macaulay, have started a petition that aims to make
Ogusbaba take down the video from the internet to stop its circulation.
The activists are also demanding that Ogusbaba should apologise to
the Nigerian LGBT community for joking with a very sensitive issue of
concern.
The video, titled “The Lekki Gay,” by comedian Ogusbaba,
depicts a gay man being visited by a friend whom he finds attractive but
who brings two other men to the bedroom to threaten him with sexual
assault with a banana, large cucumber, pawpaw and then a large piece of
yam oiled with olive oil.
“We all have a sense of humour, however this sketch does more
than create laughter. It glorifies and glamorises homophobic attacks
faced daily in reality for many LGBT people in Nigeria,” Rev. Jide Macauley said.
Ogusbaba insists that the skit "is just to make my fans laugh and to promote my tour."
"I have my own views about LGBT people," he tells BBC Trending. "It's strictly personal, I have nothing against them.
"I'm amazed by the response to the video. But I believe people are entitled to their opinions."
Prominent gay activists want the video down.
