Nigerians have been called hypocrites for the heroic manner they welcomed CNN business reporter, Richard Quest despite the fact that he's gay.

Popular Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi took to Instagram to vent his anger at Nigerians for way they treated Quest who is in Nigeria.

He argued that Nigerians are good at making heroes out of foreigners while vilifying their own. Quest was spotted today snapping photos with many Nigerians in Lagos including LAWMA officials.

Alimi wrote:

"So I heard Richard Quest is in Nigeria and as usual, my people are drooling over him. These are the same Nigerians that will not allow an openly gay person on their screen, or even give one a job.

"What is different about Richard Quest that makes his homosexuality harmless but my homosexuality as a Nigeria scary and threatening? Is it that my people think my homosexuality is in some way earth destroying but that is Richard comforting or as a people we just lack pure emotional intelligence to appreciate our own? My heart bleeds for Nigeria, it does make me cry for my LGBT brothers and sisters."
