Nigerian Gay Couple Beg Money To Relocate Abroad Fearing Arrest

Nigerian gay couple Uchendu and Ezekiel launched an online fundraiser to relocate outside Nigeria after facing intense threats and harassment from family and neighbors. In a country where same-sex relationships remain criminalized, the two men describe living in constant fear — humiliation, rejection, workplace hostility, and repeated threats simply for being openly together. They say they have been working hard and saving what they can, but the risk has become too high. Their goal is not luxury; it is the chance to live somewhere they can work, love each other openly, and wake up without fear. The couple’s GiveSendGo campaign seeks funds for relocation costs: travel, documentation, temporary accommodation, and basic expenses while they rebuild. They emphasize they want to work and support themselves — they are asking for a bridge to safety, not a handout. Their Instagram (@echenduandezekiel) and fundraiser posts show the emotional weight behind the request and the determination to start over, even if it means beginning from nothing in a safer place. This video shares their story, the reality of the threats they face, why remaining in Nigeria has become untenable for them, and how the fundraiser works. It is a human story about love, fear, resilience, and the search for basic safety. Whether you follow global LGBTQ rights, Nigerian current events, personal migration stories, or human rights campaigns, this is a clear look at what two people are experiencing right now.
