A Ghanaian LGBT historian took to her twitter TL to share a research paper released by a Nigerian that suggested that homosexuality reigned supreme in Yorubaland pre-colonialism. Read what she shared below; "Homosexuality wasn't alien to pre-colonial Yoruba societies. Cross-dressing Sango initiates, a tale of how Orunmila was conceived through lesbian sex & proverbs describing homosexual intercourse defy arguments that homosexuality was introduced by the white man into Yoruba society" Culled from; https://www.torimill.com/2018/05/homosexuality-wasnt-alien-to-pre-colonial-yoruba-sango-was-a-cross-dresser-historian.html 1 Like 1 Share |

We already know this na so she should come with something else. It is interesting the in Yoruba there are no words for apple, pineapple and even onions (alubosa from etymology shows that it was adopted and changed for easy pronunciation) yet there are two distinct words for being gay. You have words like adodi and adofuro meaning being homosexual has always had some place in yoruba history but what is not clear is if it was outlawed but then again, there has never being historical evidences to show anyone was punished for it. But then again, it is never seen that people practiced it in the open either by marriage or it was socially accepted but it existed. As for the cross-dressing, popular musician Obesere has been wearing female clothing on stage for years so Bobrisky's antics does not even surprise me. I guess what changed is the attitude and seeming feminity of Bobrisky that draws attraction to him 143 Likes 6 Shares |

Very funny... When you can't write your own history... Someone else will. do it for you.. ... If your imaginary Jesus was on gown through out his life time will you call him a cross dresser or gay? They are tryna force homosexuality on us by rewriting our history. We need to free ourselves from mental slavery. I can see some people ain't ready to free themselves from mental slavery. Anyway oyibo done mess with that one mind.

Shallow Mind ... Sango never knew what a Tro was! Roman soldiers wore "skirts", from d time of ABRAHAM to Jesus Christ they wore ROBES or "Gowns". Well done sir!

People condemn homosexuality when it's covinient. Most of people saying kill them are either two or bisexual But trust Nigerians, of all the problems in that country, they are more concerned about homosexuality. 23 Likes 1 Share |
