Last week, Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi, hinted that he may
be joining Nigerian politics soon. This afternoon, he confirmed his
intention and also gave reasons why he is venturing into the political
scene.
"It's been a year since I made my first return trip back to Nigeria
after 8. I wrote this piece on Facebook a year ago, the only thing that
has changed has been the harsh economic situations over 80% of Nigerians
found themselves now. The poor has become poorer. The indifference of
the political class is of concern and the religious organisations are
abandoning their responsibility to the poor while they enrich
themselves. This is the reason I will be going into politics because,
you don't pray change into being, you forced it into being. This won't
be change like before. No it won't be business as usual. This will be
change driven by the audacity to hope"he wrote
