Six years ago, Musa Ali (not his real name) was linked up
with a rich businessman in Yola, who 'initiated' him into
gay sex. Ali was told that being gay would make him bold
and feared. Of course, he was also told that he would
make a huge load of money. Now 36, Ali is somewhat
filled with regrets and wishing it were possible to turn
back the hands of the clock. Sitting in the serene evening
of last Thursday in Bankin Kogi at the bank of River
Benue in Yola after a Herculean arrangement to get him to
talk, he shared his story with our correspondent. Ali
revealed that the rich and the powerful, both in business
and politics hit the hay with him. Excerpts…
How did you become a gay?
A woman my friend introduced to me lured me into it.
The woman linked me up with some men in business and
in politics. The first man I was introduced to told me that
having anal sex would fetch me good fortune and I would
be bold to challenge anybody no matter his social status.
He said that if I wanted to be rich and be likable, I should
join the club of gays. He said that I would meet influential
people and they would be attracted to me. Also, I was told
that if I ask for anything, without hesitation, my demands
would be obliged. He said whenever I speak, I would be
feared and my wish would obeyed. That was six years
ago. He made love to me during political campaigns and
gave me N150,000. I bought a parcel of land with that
money but later sold it.
How old are you now and what has been your experience?
I am 36 years old. As I said earlier, I have been in this
business (anal sex act) for six years. But all that I was
promised did not come to pass. The business has robbed me
of my senses and personality. Big men patronize us, but the
business is not worth it. The same big men that patronize and
give us big money, somehow through diabolical means,
snatch the same money from us. They make love to us and
give us big money but we never really benefit from the
money. I have often regretted being a gay but I cannot help it.
I sometimes ask myself what are the benefits derivable from
this act? Nothing at all! My earlier plan was that I would work
as a gay, get huge amount of money and settle down with a
beautiful wife. But I was unable to use the proceeds to do
anything worthwhile or live a comfortable life. But that has
not come to be after all. I have gained over N9 million as
proceeds from this act but cannot account for it. The wealthy
in the society only use us as mistresses and abandon us at the
end. Although some of us are being courted by powerful men
in the society, but they discard us like worthless rag in the
long run after satisfying themselves.
You said you were told that homosexual sex would make
you bold. Are you now bold and feared by people?
Yes, for the first two years, I was feared and respected. But I
do not enjoy such power again.
Why is that so?
Honestly, I don't know why.
Before you were introduced to the homosexual act, did you
have affection for women?
Yes.
Do you still have affection for women now?
No. I used to have affection for women or young girls, but I
no longer have such feelings and this is disturbing me
seriously. It is disturbing because no matter how beautiful a
girl is I cannot have feeling of love for her nor make love
advances to her. She won't be appealing to me. I regret
becoming a homosexual. I found myself in a precarious
situation because my colleagues might kill me if I dared to
leave the business. We are expected to stick to the covenant
we have all entered into.
Do you have a permanent partner?
I do not have a permanent partner because most of the people
I have met did not want to maintain a permanent relationship,
which would entail paying for my domestic needs and being
responsible for my medical bills on certain ailments I could
contract as a result of our participation in this gay sex. In fact,
I was betrothed to a man in Yobe who eventually abandoned
me. After that experience I decided not to have a permanent
partner.
Who are you regular with?
Please skip that I cannot tell you. This is because most of our
clients are big men in the society and mentioning their names
will put my life in danger. My clients are businessmen and
politicians. I don't want to mention their names.
Please in confidence tell me about some of them.
Forget that. Please skip this question. If you don't skip that I
will not talk with you again. (Then he beckoned on the person
that facilitated the interview and said to him, go with your
friend. I can no longer discuss with him.)
Would you not regard what you are engaged in as
prostitution?
(Getting angry now and frantically calling the person that
facilitated the interview) frantically)
Tell your friend to leave me alone. What I do is not
prostitution. Call it whatever name you like, it is a business as
I am not here as a prostitute. It is people like you who
embarrass and ridicule us, calling us all sorts of names and
giving this business a bad name.
(He later calmed down and agreed to continue with the
discussion after much pleading.)
Where are your clients?
They are from across the country but mostly in Kano, Yobe,
Maiduguri, Bauchi, Gombe and Sokoto.
You said earlier your first client gave you N150,000. Is
that what you get paid every time?
Each client at the local level in Yola pays between N10,000
and N12,000 per sex session. We don't charge clients that are
wealthy. We don't charge the politicians because they are
always ready to pay more than we ordinarily would have
charged. A politician or a businessman can pay from
N150,000 to N200,000 per sex session. The elite know what
they derive from us sexually, which is not known to us.
Do you know that government has banned this your business? Government has enacted a law forbidding same sex marriage and relationships?
I learnt so, but I am not sure.
Do you have health-related issue as a result of this
business?
I don't know until I see a doctor. We have, however, lost two
persons who died as a result of the gay practice.
How did they die, please tell me?
They just took ill. They had health problems and they didn't
survive.
Are you going to stop the practice?
I actually want to stop, but I cannot stop because I will be
killed by my colleagues for not complying with the covenant
entered into not to disclose this activity to anybody. Probably,
I have been hypnotized. I cannot tell.
Do you have an association?
No, we don't have here, but the elite in some states may have
association. We do not do this business in the open, so we
cannot have an association.
Do your family members know you are gay?
My mother got to know about what I'm doing two years ago,
but my father died 12 years ago before I started this business.
It is only my mother that knows this but I have kept on
denying. My mother was said to have cursed me after learning
about this, but I don't know if the curse is working on me or
not.
Do you do the act on a bed or mattress?
That is not your business.
What religion do you practice?
That is not your business, please.
How will you feel if you are caught in this act?
I will not allow myself to be caught unless someone reports
me to Civil Defence or the police.
