You are completely right on all your other points, but please when did braiding the hair become an exclusively female trait?
Men have always braided their hair/locks all over Africa and beyond.

In the context of Yoruba culture during the era of sango, braiding or plaiting of hair is attributed to the females.

Very interesting, yorubas has been practicing homosex right from the stone age. Buy i never heard Igbos been known for any cultural practice before the coming of white men. All i heard is that igbos lives naked life and live like animals in the bush before they are taught how to start using rapper and miniskirt. Pls any historian to tell me more?

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 tears 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
Doubtless homosexuality existed in Africa before the coming of the white man but most times it was for juju as in the witch doctors practiced it. It wasn't normative and wasn't advocated for as a lifestyle.

The problem with people like you is that you don't read to understand. You just do garbage in , garbage out. The historian n never said Sango is homosexual, but a cross dresser . A cross dresser is someone that dresses as the opposite sex e.g bobrisky . And as you said yourself Sango had his hair plaited and also other things that qualified him as a cross dresser

your brilliant and understanding self probably don't know bobrisky is gay...
recently when he was on about Nina, he was asked to date her, and his reply? "He is a girl"
Ayohbk Scofield, what does that mean?

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"

Can you describe the clothing worn by Yoruba women during the reign of Sango and can you describe the clothing worn by Sango himself?


If you can do that I'll know that you aren't truly ignorant.


Igbo men tie wrapper alongside their wives, does that make all of them transvestites?

Scottish men wear skirts traditionally, does that make them transvestites?

Please don't let us abuse the fact that we all have access to the internet. Do some research before you post.


What other research would be more valid than those of Ifa priests interviewed by George Olusola Ajibade supported by the extensive works he has done to unravel the practice of homosexuality in Yoruba land even before the Europeans navigated the oceans?

Igbos dressing or Scottish kilts have nothing to do with this.

Ajibade said that you ancestors were enjoying rectum and perineum before oyibo made contact with Africans.

schooled Mynd44 (a supposed Yoruba boy)

The anti-Yoruba rhetoric on Nairaland is shamefully high. I am often banned and my comments are deleted whenever I reply the Aba Jews in kind. Yet their slurs would be left to stand.

I wish Seun can carefully vet those in his employ. Mynd44 is often unbiased to be honest, but there's one of them that definitely pro-IPOB and anti-Yoruba....he never even hides it.

Mynd44...go and sin no more. Your comment lacked substance. AND DON'T DELETE THE POSTS SCHOOLING YOU....Those guys did a good job. It's your own post that should be hidden because it's misleading and contributes nothing meaningful

the anti-igbo rhetoric is worse. Those "your heroes" who "schooled" Mynd44 are examples of tribal bigots themselves.

Olodo historian! There were no trousers at that age. Sango braided his hair and his followers and adherents today still do that. Cross dressing doesn't actually exist historically because no dressing is specific to any gender. It is decided by the fashion in vogue or the creativity of the dresser.
LGBTs need to become more creative and stop peddling crap! Your sexuality is determined by the gender you are sexually attracted to, not your dressing! So says science and common sense. Sango Olukoso Arabambi married wives and bore children. We know our history and our historians have done justice to the facts I've established

Whether Sango was a gay or not, homosexuality is disgusting and should be expunged from our society. People keep finding ways to make us comfortable with it, but it will be forever an awkward and disgusting topic. *spits*

help me ask them how an African society which places so much importance on one having children as a prerequisite for success would support an act that does not promote that. Abeg make all these people FCK off. All these revisionist historians telling us that our culture supports gay just because of some little accolades from white people. let me tell you the truth, most of those white peeps are more conservative than us and do not support lgbt. its unfortunate that the few who support it are those who have money and influence hence the illusion that they all support it.

By your analogy, Obesere must be gay right?

Why do I suspect OP is a closet queer seeking justification in his heritage. On behalf of the yoruba race, we honourably deny and disown you. Benin people, over to you, he's all yours.


on behalf of all benin people we humbly donate him to our brothers across the Niger but if they do not accept, we give him to sango and his wives for proper education.
