All that I have done over 50yrs of my life is to root for the underdogs. I turned my back on my gold-plated pedigree and wondered into the unknown. I discovered that victory is a million times sweeter as an underdog. Oh!!!!! Yes.
My life has been one Big fight, against bad habits, poverty, hopelessness and principalities. But I never backed down. I battled for the right of the Okada's to make a living. I battled for the right, respect and the big money for the Nigerian Musician, spent weeks in the police cell, as a pman president. Today thank God they have a better life. Now am the President of Frustrated Nigerians. I am battling with my comrades to stop the senseless killings of Nigerians. The oppression of innocent Nigerians and the weaponisation of hunger.
Many battles too many to mention. I have been beaten black and blue by the military, police, security agents, been teargased, shot at, stoned and most time misunderstood even by the police I fight for. No big deal because I never back down. Now I reactivate my fight in defense of the LGBT community.
You know something? Openness may not completely disarm prejudice but is a good place to start. I am hoping that my support will be a show of strength to the Nigerian LGBT community because seriously speaking to each his own.
