Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi, has slammed Bobrisky and described him as a threat to the transgender community in Nigeria.
Bisi’s comment comes after Bobrisky said he has decided to become a crossdresser to economically empower himself.
In a post shared on his Instagram page on Saturday December 26, Bobrisky said he suffered so much as a full man but that immediately he became a crossdresser, he started to make a lot of money.
He wrote;
“Dis message is for you all to read before you judge me. I was formally a man for almost 25yrs, nothing to show for it. I kept struggling even with my certificate as a graduate of accounting in university of Lagos, nothing to still show for it. I saw how all my females friends were cashing out back then. I went home and think about my life.
If I join robbery they will end up killing me, secondly I don’t even have that heart to think to that dimension or to even scam people of their sweat. while I was growing I have a little bit of female features in me, so I decide to try what cross dressing look like.
“Under one yr of cross dressing I started making money . I was still surprise. So I gave my body more time, rubbing expensive creams, smelling good, using more of females body pills and looking out for myself. Boom more money keep coming… men admiring me, women giving me endorsements from right and left.
Short story I fit in as a female to a man. God bless all d women around d world many of you love me and accepted me, save me and I will always respect WOMEN.”
Bisi Alimi has now taken to social media to react to Bobrisky’s post. According to Bisi, Bobrisky is a threat to the Trans community in Nigeria. He went on to describe him as a fraud. See what he wrote;
“I have said this before and I will say it again, Bobrisky is a threat to the Trans community in Nigeria and it is high time we called him what he is, a fraud!!
I am never one to misgender anyone but Bobrisky is (based on this comment) a man in a woman’s clothing for profit and that’s not what being Trans is.”
