ENTERTAINMENT: Bisi Alimi Blasts Nigerians for Welcoming Gay CNN Journalist Richard Quest

Top CNN journo, Richard Quest is currently in Lagos, Nigeria filming his Quest Means Business show. Richard has been welcomed by Nigerians at large but one man who isn’t impressed is gay rights activist Bisi Alimi.

He wrote on his Instagram,

“So I heard Richard Quest is in Nigeria and as usual, my people are drooling over him. These are the same Nigerians that will not allow an openly gay person on their screen, or even give one a job. What is different about Richard Quest that makes his homosexuality harmless but my homosexuality as a Nigeria scary and threatening? Is it that my people think my homosexuality is in some way earth destroying but that is Richard comforting or as a people we just lack pure emotional intelligence to appreciate our own? My heart bleeds for Nigeria, it does make me cry for my LGBT brothers and sisters.”
