Adam A. Zango, a local movie actor in Kano, was seen on a live TV show, swearing with the Quran that he is not a homosexual.
Prior to
the actor’s appearance on the TV show, rumors have been circulating that
actors within the industry are homosexuals, and in a bid to come
‘clean’ he decided to swear, using his sacred religious book – the
Quran, to prove that he is a heterosexual man.
He said: “I
am here to tell the whole world that I am not gay and I do not
participate in any gay activities within and outside the Kannywood
industry”
But after
his ‘coming clean’ stunt, it appeared that some of his fans were not
happy with the tactics he applied, particularly with using the holy book
to swear.
The actor
showed neither regrets nor remorse; instead, he decided to post a
ranting message on his Facebook wall, justifying his actions.
It reads:
“I
know that some of my fans are not happy about what I did with the holy
Quran swearing. But I had to. Because when people are pointing accusing
fingers at you, calling you all sorts of names….Why not prove the
doubting Thomas wrong?..Prove yourself, clear your conscience. That is
why I did it. Explanation gap can cause so many misunderstanding.
Therefore if you are one among my fans, you will have to endure it.
Because I’ll keep on proving myself to the end. I love you all”.
