Gistlover, a faceless blogger based in Nigeria has published a long list of the people it called gay in Nigeria, using “agaygay” as subterfuge. Since publishing this which came in batches, members of the public on social media have been talking about it, with some believing the list, some doubting it and others indifferent.
Some of the names include:

Flavour
Vintage furniture CEO
Alex Ekubo
Gozie Okeke

Gistlover has promised to publish more names who’re public figures and some sort of proof to buttress its point.
The social media community has been thrown into confusion as the veracity of the claims of Gistlover as some of the names it released are known and seen running things with women. Such names as Obi Cubana, Flavour, Sullivan and others ought not to be there, said Nigerian social media netizens. Some argued that Gistlover has been in the game of releasing names of members of a certain class of the Nigerian society and has never been found lying.
On the other hand, some of the names published here have been corroborated by a cross section of netizens as actually being members of the homosexuality community in Nigeria. Many of them openly affirmed names like the Vintage furniture chief executive officer, former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, movie actor, Alex Ekubo, gospel musician, prince Gozie Okeke and others. But none of the released names has come out to disprove the claim of their involvement by the faceless blogger, Gistlover.
