A popular legal practitioner, Jake Okwchukwu Effoduh has come out to react to Doyin Okupe’s reaction to his son coming out as gay.

Recall the Doyin Okupe recently revealed that he is very opposed to his boy’s homosexuality while adding that the boy is suffering from a major spiritual challenge.

Reacting today, Jake simply wrote that Doyin Okupe should accept his son for who he is once and for all, and stop trying to change him.

He added that the politician should rather pray for his son to grow in confidence, wellness and self-acceptance henceforth.

His words, “Dear Doyin Okupe, no amount of prayer can change ur son’s sexual orientation. The same way no amount of prayer can change his race. Instead, pray for him to grow in confidence, wellness and self-acceptance. The world will hate and reject him, don’t join them. Accept your own son.”
