Welcome to a podcast unlike any other, in which I bring my unique intersectional identity as a gay Igbo man from Nigeria to the forefront. This is a space where personal stories meet cultural insights, and where meaningful discussions about LGBTQIA+ issues, representation, and empowerment take centre stage. Each episode is a journey into the intricacies of being queer and African, examining themes of identity, perseverance, and visibility. As I amplify queer voices, spill some palm wine, slay stereotypes, and redefine what it means to be seen and celebrated, you can expect a blend of heartfelt storytelling, insightful discussions, and a generous dose of humour. Join me as we navigate the intersections of culture, sexuality, and community, one candid conversation at a time. This is not just a podcast, it is a celebration of diversity, a call for inclusion, and a reminder that every voice matters.
Gay African men are carrying a specific mental health burden that almost nobody talks about. The religious trauma, the mental health system that was not designed with us in mind, the cultural displacement, the exposure to threat and violence, the grief, and the hiding. If you have never had a space to say out loud that you are not okay, this episode is for you. If you are struggling, please reach out. Samaritans are available 24 hours on 116 123. LGBT Foundation helpline is 0345 3 30 30 30.

Coming Out to African Parents
Coming out in mainstream LGBTQIA+ spaces is often talked about as a hopeful, even celebratory moment. But for gay Africans the reality is far more complex. The fear is different. The stakes are different. The community pressure, the family expectations, the financial dependency, the risk of losing everything. None of that gets talked about enough.
In this episode, I get into the internal journey that happens long before the conversation, how to do a genuine risk assessment before you come out, what to think about when you are ready to have the conversation. What to do when it goes wrong. Why waiting is not the same as hiding.
If you are a gay African person who has been through this or is still trying to figure out when and how, this episode is for you. You are not alone and your truth is yours.

The Trap That Is Killing Gay Men(Kito)
I'm discussing Kito this week. The practice of luring, trapping and extorting gay men in Africa using fake dating profiles. It is one of the most urgent crises facing gay men in Africa, and it does not get nearly enough attention.
I cover what kito is, who is behind it, why the law makes it almost impossible for victims to speak up and practical steps you can take to protect yourself.
If you are a gay man this episode could save your life. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.
