The UK-based HIV/LGBT advocate argued that to avoid being biased, one must choose between decolonisation and being homophobic.
Alimi wrote on his Instagram page; ÔÇØHistory 101; not one single African was a Christian before an encounter with the colonisers.
ÔÇØHomosexuality was not a criminal offence in Africa before the colonisers came. You can't demand decolonising Africa and be homophobic at the same time. Choose a side.
