Nigerian actress turned nurse, Regina Askia-Williams, is now officially an American citizen.

This comes despite living in the US for the last 15 years, with Askia saying she did not feel the need to apply for citizenship.

She noted that Donald Trump becoming US president changed that notion for her, though.

‘And so today I made it official. I took the oath and became a citizen of the United States of America,’ she wrote on Facebook.

‘Empowered and armed for the full pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.’

Charly Boy reveals how living with gay influenced him | fab.ng

Veteran Nigerian entertainer Charly Boy has revealed how his interactions with gay and transgender individuals have significantly impacted his personal style and artistic expression.

During a recent appearance on the “With Chude” podcast hosted by Chude Jideonwo, the singer discussed his early appearance and the resulting speculation about his identity.

“Why was your first look effeminate, for lack of a better word? What was behind that choice?” Jideonwo asked.

Charly Boy discussed his distinctive fashion choices from the 1980s and 1990s.

He noted that his feminine style became a topic of conversation at the time, leading to speculation about his sexual orientation.

He said,

“I used to have a girly girl look back in the day, I used to wear a lot of rouge, makeup, lipstick and whatever, and that’s where the gay speculations started. People thought that I was that-way inclined until my friend Tina looked at me and was like , ‘nah, you need something more macho, more masculine.'”

Charly Boy disclosed that during his final years in the United States, he primarily associated with transvestites. These individuals were individuals who dressed in clothing traditionally associated with the opposite gender.

“I wasn’t one but I just loved them; I loved how they switched so I used to study them,” he clarified.

“If you remember that on the Charly Boy Show I had this character called Linda, my alter ego. That was easy for me to do because I had been around bi, gay and transgender people, so I picked all the nuances from that,” he explained.

Charly Boy affirmed that while his interactions with his gender-fluid friends significantly shaped his personality, he always considered himself a pioneer in setting trends.

I love being myself, I love to stand out, I don’t want to follow trends; I prefer to start my own trends; and do my own thing. That’s how I felt right from the day I was born, wanting to go through another way,” he concluded.
