Binyavanga Wainaina Proposes To His Nigerian Gay Partner, Set To Wed - Pictures

The 2002 Caine Prize winner for African Writing, Kenneth Binyavanga Wainaina, has proposed to his long-term Nigerian partner. .
.
Wainaina, an acclaimed African literary giant and founder of the Nairobi-based journal, Kwani, is set to wed early next year after he proposed to his lover whom he has dated for over six years. .
.
He is, however, silent on the identity of the said Nigerian. He shared the news of his proposal on social media on Wednesday.

I asked my love for his hand in marriage two weeks ago. He said yes, nearly immediately. He is Nigerian. We will be living in South Africa, where he will be studying next year. We will get married there, early next year. We will have a reception for Kenyans in Nairobi some time next year too. Nothing has surprised me more than coming to love this person, who is gentle and has the most gorgeous heart. I consider myself hugely lucky that he loves me and I have only recently fallen in love with him, but we have known each other and have been dating on and off since 2012
