Since I announced the upcoming show about the existence of gay Nigerians, I have been asked – both privately and publicly – about the details of the show.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
1.  What do you mean, gay<\/i> Nigerians?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
2.  Are your co-hosts gay?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
3.  Are they Nigerian-Nigerians or Akata-Nigerians?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
4.  Are your co-hosts gay-gay or are they just experimenting? <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
5.  They’re gay? And they’re Nigerians?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
There’s only one reason why I’m having this show on Saturday, and just like the name implies, it is because gay Nigerians do exist. But I can’t tell you much more than that. I’m sure you’d rather hear it from my co-hosts mouths. <\/span>Akwaeke Emezi<\/span><\/a><\/b> and <\/span>Abi<\/span><\/a><\/b> will be live on the <\/span>Verastically Speakin’ Talk Radio<\/span><\/a><\/b> this Saturday at 10am U.S. Eastern. <\/span><\/div>\n
