We earlier reported that a Popular Actor, Gideon Okeke  condemned the world for supporting gays and gay marriages. Gideon shared a controversial post on his Instagram page where he openly condemned the gay marriage of international desiger Marc Jacobs and his partner Char Defrancesco.

A LGBT advocate on Twitter has doled out a response to the screen god which has an accusation padded within it.

The advocate identified as Olumide Makanjuola is known to raise his voice for the rights and freedom of LGBT members of the society, and he made a classic example out of Gideon Okeke.

He shaded the actor and washed down his remark. But even more, Olumide also threw accusations at the Nigerian celebrity.

Olumide claimed that Gideon had tried to get a gay role through one of the major PR director in Nigeria. Given the fact that he had supposedly wanted to act a gay man, Olumide found it funny that he was condemning the act.

In line with this thought, the advocate blatantly said that Gideon was simply seeking for attention and merely trying to trend.  See what he wrote below.

“I can’t stop laughing. Same Gideon that was trying to hustle for a q***r role in a film through a major PR director in Nigeria? Issaokay sha, everyone got to trend somehow. But again, if you know, you know.”
