Bisi Alimi needs no introduction, he was the Nigerian guy that openly declared his sexuality, on Funmi Iyandas show "New Dawn" back in 2007, and was eventually forced to leave the country due to heavy backlash for his openness.
He was on Wednesday 1st January 2014 honoured by a UK LGBT magazine for his work in the field of Education. In 2013, he was listed as number 94 in The Independent On Sunday 101 most Influential LGBT people in the UK. The same year he was listed as third most popular 100 of Britain and Ireland's secular thinkers you should know about, who aren't white men.
In December 17, 2013, he gave a lecture at Free University in Berlin on the title: Homosexuality Is Very African As Much As It Is Nigerian.
