There are rumour flying here and there that this Nollywood actor, Benson Okonkwo is gay. www.nigeriafilms.com, almost believed the people sending this stories too until the thespian himself revealed the reasons he’s been labeled to be gay.

“I’m not a gay…hell no! I love women. We have girls all over Nigeria looking for guys to date. In fact, we have more population of girls in Nigeria than guys, so why should I be sleeping with men? Jeeeeez…this is absurd. When you’re not forming a hard man or drinking a lot, smoking, or womanizing with those my male colleagues, the next thing they say is that you’re gay. Well I came from a Christian background. Our country forbids the act. So why should I be practicing such act. There’s this saying that if you fine too much them go say you turn gay.”

This dude who has been doing well as an actor cum model said the people spreading such ugly rumour about him might have been doing it out f envy. Hear him, “what I know and I’m sure that started the rumor is envy. Because I have good looks and they know that. It’s a good thing for a male actor to look good. And secondly, I don’t womanize with them or smoke weed or drink like they do. Because I’m an actor doesn’t mean that I must take my female fans for a fool. I mean sleeping around when I’m supposed to be a mirror for all, not an instrument for the devil.”

He also added that “I did a movie in 2010 with Jim Iyke. In that movie, I played a gay man. The name of the movie is ‘Two Dollar’. In the movie, I disguised myself and Jim saw me in the club and thought I was a woman. He then took me home and I left with his money. It was just a movie. And because I played my role so well my colleagues started saying nonsense.

Some artists have played witches, mad people, rapists, ritualists, etc., in the movies, why are they not being labeled those things? It’s all jealousy from my male colleagues, that’s all I know. Many of them have spent so many years without making any impact in the industry, now they see me rising very fast and they want to spoil my name. It’s not my fault that I’m talented. I didn’t create myself. God gave me the talents.” He concluded.

As in a lot of people in the entertainment industry are either gay or lesbian except very few that r bi... Reading this I know he is gay, I read john dumelo's interview too and that one is just so gay... I mean why r they hiding? If they don't come out of their closets how do they want the gay and lesbian people that look up to them to feel? It's sad they r pretending too much, I really don't blame them sha all thanks to the homophobic society in Nigeria....

Stardom | 8/22/2012 8:54:36 AM
What do u guys xpect? Who will agree to what majority of hypocritical nigerians call TABOO? I dont blame d guy. Everyone is guilty of hiding and lieing in one way or d other. Some pple dat ar bussy raining insults and criticism him can nt even come out wt a strait story of wat dey do behind closed doors. Those dat hav no trace of homosexuality on their appearance are d ones neck deep in d act, using girls to ganish dem selves bt yet bang their fellow men. So, Oga, sayin u ve girl friends was'nt a good defence at all, expecially wen u ve d traits written allover u..
