In 2017, I started A Nasty Boy magaze to validate and affirm the liv and experienc of gay men Nigeria. I wanted to start meangful nversatns around genr norms and masculy that speak specifilly to our reali as gay men wh a culture that is poisonoly patriarchal and eply homophobic. Agast a backdrop of adly anti-gay vlence, A Nasty Boy dared to be a haven for gay men Nigeria and, no time, received ternatnal attentn through CNN, BBC, The Guardian, The Enomist, Vogue, and others.
They acced me of beg gay and “spreadg a gay agenda, ” as they pummeled me; each punch was an asslt on who I was. They took my phone, forced me to unlock , and found further proof of my homosexualy.

In Nigeria, gay men are portrayed as ncers eatg eply to the fabric of society—tumors that mt be oblerated.
