Nigeria, in the early 1960s, homosexuality seemed to be widely accepted, cross-dressing and transvestism were celebrated even amongst royalty. This rare footage recorded by a foreign journalist showed the extended welcome, respect and co existence. The cross dresser was Nigeria's bearded lady. Sadly, in 2014 the anti-gay bill was passed to punish lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders.

Nobody judged him in the direction of his sexuality, they saw him simply as a fellow human being with exceptional talent and appreciated him as such. Those were the years of innocence.

Area scatter, a male singer often dressed up as a female to perform.

Watch this.
A dance supposedly performed by Male dancers, but which reeks of femininity ...
A lot has indeed changed in 'modern" Nigeria.

Yes I remember as a child people would gather to watch her sing on a popular program then called Ukanu"s Club.
Hehehe, how time flies. A lot has changed indeed.

There was this feminine man those days at Afor Igwe junction, he fries and sells Akara those days, everyone was comfortable with his effeminate nature, he was married and had children.

ancient Africans were more tolerant of each other than the colonials want to paint. Most of the intolerance we experience today were introduced by the Caucasians, they were the ones that introduced anti gay laws at a time Africans had no such laws, they introduced their intolerant religion that it's converts turned to Boko haram of yesterdays, burning down the worship places( shrines) of our ancestors, having painted our culture and traditional religion black and inferior and empowered by their Caucasian masters.

Nature has its own way of repaying people for their wrong deeds and believe me the amount of reparation the soul of the writer of that letter, and every other soul like his, would have to make in the afterlife is boundless.

Christianity is just a tool to subjugate Africans to levels of submission and lack of reasoning. And Africans have just perfected in the so-called reasoning. I left Christianity long time ago. Just recently a so-called African pastor was burning 'Ikolo Uga', an ancient heritage of his forefathers all in the name of religion, at a time when preservation of age-old relics that have managed to survive till today should be at the forefront, instead they are being destroyed leaving no hope for future generations to have a glimpse of what their ancient heritage and times looked like.

With thorough research, homosexuality was never penalized in ancient Africa. Our native Gods never condemned homosexuality and the people accepted it as a normal variant of life. Nowhere is homosexuality penalized in Igbo Afa mythology, Yoruba Ifa mythology, etc. It is surprising to find out today that the same Africans stand up and scream 'it is unafrican' when their ancestors never condemned it. Homophobia is only but a mere import from the Western world. We should learn to be tolerant of each other.

Things were good, love was pure and without sentiments, not until miracle performing pastors started dictating what is right and wrong of human actions. They spread the hate agenda. Religion is indeed a problem worse than corruption, it has weakened my people's mind, it has killed their independent thinking mind. Now, pastors tells us who to marry and who not to, where to work and where not to, they even go as far as telling us when to have sexx with our wives.

We are just a victim of religion. I'm straight doesn't make me any better than gays, I love them and who they chose to be with is never my business.
