7 of those celebrities have been listed below.

Nigerian musician Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz, earlier this year, released a song with a pro-LGBT message. In the song, ‘hypocrite’ he urged everyone to stop their judgmental and hypocritical attitudes toward people including LGBTI+ people.

2. Tonto Dikeh
Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh, has expressed her support for LGBT people a few times. At one point, she stood in support of gay American actor Jussie Smollet, after he was allegedly attacked because of his sexual orientation. She also blasted some Nigerian anti-gay protesters a few months ago.

3. M.I Abaga
Hip-hop sensation and rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I has spoken in the past condemning the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act [SSMPA]. He made it clear that there is nothing absolutely wrong with being gay or lesbian and so, therefore, LGBT persons have the right to be themselves and live freely.

4. Alex Ekubo
Quite recently Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo wrote an open letter to his fans, in the latter, he asked Nigerians to let gay people exist in peace and advised them to ‘stop the name-calling’.

6. Charly Boy
Controversial musician, entertainer, and human rights activist Charles Oputa popularly known as Charly Boy has been very vocal about his support for LGBTI+ people in Nigeria. In 2017, Charly Boy declared that he has ‘chosen to fight for the rights of gays and lesbians’.

    We need more voices. It’s ridiculous that we have to speak up or act out for adults to be able to comprehend love. Homophobia shouldn’t even exist, much less a law that makes us criminals

    I’m not too sure about Falz though. He may simply be talking against mistreatments and hypocritical behaviours of religious people towards the LGBT+ community.

    Being a Nigerian myself two guys dare not hold hands. “Wasted sperm”. That is the highest insult you’ll get for being spotted as a gay person. I’m not ready to come out right now coz I dont wanna go to jail and be homeless
