I’m not a member of IPOB, I’m still gay – Uju Anya

NIGERIAN-born American professor of modern languages, Uju Anya, has said that she is not a member nor financier of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Anya got the world’s attention when she wished the dying Queen Elizabeth “excruciating pain” in her last moments for sponsoring the “genocide” that displaced her family, referring to the Nigerian Civil War of 1967.

Anya told PUNCH on Sunday that her life has been under threat since then. She said some persons have been impersonating her on Facebook.

“People are putting out fake statements, saying I am a member and financier of IPOB or Independent Biafra or any political candidate like that, and they are using a fake Facebook account that bears my name. It is a lie. There is nothing like that,” she said.

Anya had earlier declared that she remains gay.

“+234 Twitter, good morning. I give you special thanks for riding hardest for me. My Nigerian people, especially in and from Alaigbo, saw how much I love you and showed me love back. Together we shared our pain and taught the world our history. Thank you. P.S. I am still a gay,” she wrote on Twitter.
