"Defiance comes with consequences and I am comfortable with it". He speaks about gay rights in the Nigerian churches, at conferences and anywhere. On this episode of the Queercity podcast, we would be experiencing what the reality of speaking for LGBT+ rights in Nigeria is for Nigeria's own Chude Jideonwo. Chude is known for his active amplification of minorities issues with his big show #WithChude, where he has also created space to help bring Queer persons' narratives safely to the mainstream media.
Chude speaks of how empathy could be an approach to fighting for the rights of sexual minorities, and to furtherly engaging violently oppressive systems. Behind the scenes packing and Bisi Alimi's appearance on “The Dawn” in 2004, and the interview with Faraphina magazine

Telling Nigerian queer narratives isn't a thing i or anyone just started, queer narratives are rooted in our everyday storytelling, our oral history and our sacred spirituality. Erasure came upon queer Nigerians narrative with the advent of the slave trade and colonization, and during one of my Nights in Ibadan i spoke with Ayodele Olofintuade, for this episode of the podcast. Ayo is an author and a feminist who is in the business of reclaiming indigenous Queer, Nigerian, African and women narratives through her books and researches. Ayo takes us on a journey of the enbiness of the Orisas, how Ifa perceives humans as the "chosen one" and how our gaydar should have picked that Efunsetan was a "queer woman" .... One would expect this episode to end on Amala and gbegiri, but we eased out with a bowl of Garri with chicken.

Over the years past, the presence of queerness in African traditional royal history has experienced all kind of erasures. Much that we barely have or don't have proper documentation of "purple colored" queer folx that existed in pretty much time past. While the little we have from history tells us of a queer royalty in one of the largest traditional kingdoms in Uganda, that Kabaka (king) Mwanga II, who ruled in the latter half of the 19th century, was gay, this episode introduce us to a Nigerian Heir to the throne, whose community awaits his marriage before coronation. This narrative brings us into a new perspective when it comes to queer narrative, it brings to the table the narrative between cultural belief, tradition, sexuality and spirituality. Dissertation of the throne isn't an option for him because according to the his father's experience, the Gods would come for him even in his dreams if he dares desert the throne.

Since 2016, I have paid keen attention to happenings surrounding the killing and violation of queer folx in Nigeria, the lack of investigation or legal concern what so ever. Few weeks ago, a young man of age 20 was caught in the web of these non state actors who kidnap queer folx and extort their families. Lagos state being a cosmopolitan city gives room for every form of persons to thrive, and as we know in this city, the definition of hustle is extremely relative, to the kidnappers of this queer person, violation of queeer folx is hustle, a day job for these gang of gaynappers led by EmmyBenard.. !! phewww !!! wetin man go do, this is 9ja, the existence of queer folx alone is threatened by THE LAW, BUT like I said, not just the government , we are being killed by our fellow Nigerians.
