In the chat that focused on lesbianism, gay rights, moral ethics and more, MI talked about how everyone is entitled to their sexuality.

According to him: “It’s not my business what anybody does. And what I mean by that is it’s my privacy. Everybody has a right to their privacy. If you bring a tape of two men having sex then you can prove [they are gay]. But for the most part, how are you going to prove without fringing on someone’s right or privacy- going through their phone. It almost seems to me to be an unenforceable law”.

A disillusioned fan wrote: “I never thought I’d ever disagree with MI on anything, but saying Nigeria’s law on Gays/Lesbian is wrong…I totally disagree sir”.
