Nollywood actor, Godwin Maduagu says he's gay

Actor Godwin Maduagu of Nollywood has come out as gay.

This was revealed in a viral video by the actor who had refuted the accusation when his sex tape emerged last year.

He was seen having sex with a man in a video.

Maduagu had claimed he was contemplating suicide and struggling with the scandal's effects.

However, the actor used the rainbow flag, a representation of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, in a new video posted on his Instagram on Tuesday.

He admitted that his close pals had blackmailed him with the sex tape and put him up.

If not for the words of encouragement from his family, Maduagu claimed he would have committed suicide. 

He urged Nigerians to stop blackmailing their loved ones.

“After getting a better life for myself, my close friends set me up, blackmailed me, and leaked my sex tape. I became depressed and almost committed suicide.

“My family saved me by giving me words of encouragement and advice that kept me going. Look at me now living my truth because I’ve now gotten a strong thick skin.

“Love is love. Say no to blackmail. What will people say have killed a lot of people,” he said?
