With evidence based only on her words, Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar, claims 40 percent of Nigerian married men are bisexual.
The actress started the claim on August 25, on her Instagram when she wrote: “Don’t blame people who jump from one girl to another. Some times what they really want is another man. Don’t hurt yourself. Dust yourself and move on.”
The controversial actress who had in April this year celebrated the arrival of her new baby boy with another child’s photo, possibly a Caucasian kid, later told The Punch on August 26, 40 per cent of married Nigerian men are on the “Down-low” (bi-sexual), claiming she knows a lot of men who are in that category.
“We have over 40 per cent of down-low (bi-sexual married men) in Nigeria, whether you want to believe it or not. Sadly, their families don’t even know. Instead of them putting their families through hurt, infect them with various diseases and end up killing their wives or themselves because they are scared to open up, I feel they should be truthful and realistic about their needs and put it first before anything.
“I know so many people who are married and they are bi-sexual. I’m saying this because it is the truth and those reacting are the guilty ones. Tell me why a man will change girls at random? What exactly are they looking for if it is not a man? Nigerians don’t accept the truth because half of us are hypocrites. I Halima Abubakar am telling you that a lot of people are bi-sexual. They should save the lives of future generations by coming out, if they don’t want to come out, they should not get married.
“If they want just a child, they can afford surrogacy. You won’t believe some of these people have nine children, tell me what they want nine children for only to go and end up with a man. That’s destroying somebody’s life.
“I’ve been hinting about it for a long time now so I just needed to say it like this,” she said.
