The condemnation of Nigerian men attacking a U.S.-based Nigerian professor for her sexual orientation has been voiced by Uju Anya, a LGBTQ activist. She highlighted that numerous married women, who are closeted lesbians, have been confiding in her through direct messages, alluding to how societal norms have restricted their choices. Anya cautioned the men that their condemnation of homosexuality as being “un-African” may result in them unknowingly marrying closeted lesbians.
