Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi has said that same-sex unions were not against any law in Africa until colonialism came.
He also said that one must chose between colonialism and being homophobic.
He shared on Instagram: ”History 101; not one single African was a Christian before an encounter with the colonisers.
“Homosexuality was not a criminal offence in Africa before the colonisers came. You can’t demand decolonising Africa and be homophobic at the same time. Choose a side”.
A few years ago, Bisi Alimi opened up on how he almost committed suicide when he was 17-years old.
According to him, the decision to commit suicide was due to his sexuality.
