Queering Our indigenous and traditional literary narrative: A night in Ibadan

Queering Our indigenous and traditional literary narrative: A night in Ibadan

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.

This Queer Nigerian Prince has to marry a woman before his coronation begins: A tale of Culture, Identity, and Royalty.

This Queer Nigerian Prince has to marry a woman before his coronation begins: A tale of Culture, Identity, and Royalty.

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.

Kidnapping, Extortion and Killing of Queer Folx in Nigeria, Nothing has changed.

Kidnapping, Extortion and Killing of Queer Folx in Nigeria, Nothing has changed.

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.

Art, A tool for Queer Advocacy

Art, A tool for Queer Advocacy

At the just concluded Ake festival, there was a panel called “The Gender Binary And Everything In Between”, a panel which brings about inclusion of LGBT matters in creative spaces. On this episode we have our very own Lady Yin (@lady_yinn) discussion with us the interdependence of art spaces and queer advocacy, read below her opening poem... Call us by our names.
Romeo Oriogun
Dennis Macaulay
Delle
Chibuzor
Ife
Call us by our names!
Not by the failed attempt at humor in pathetic insults aimed at us because we are vile and disgusting.
Call us by our names!
Cici
Aisha
Titi
Halimah
You call us strange, abnormal, unafrican because we love who we love in a definition of love you cannot accept because you have boxed yourself with a religion that tells you that man must love woman who must not love woman but must love man who can never love man.
Call us by our names!
Us who you have said do not exist!
Us that are suffering from the white man’s disease, us that you have tried to wipe from history.
Call us by our fucking names!
Iliana
Nkem
Fola
Tosin
Dami
We are your brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives.
We are the congregations in your churches, we are the soldiers in your army, we are the most diligent workers in the state’s service.
We are more than the ambiguous, vague, seemingly nonexistent L-G-B-T, we are here, we are blood, and we are Africans, pure and strong so call us by our fucking names!

STOP DOING GAY

STOP DOING GAY

Internalized homophobia is when a gay person sees being gay as a bad thing. In some cases, someone who is gay may reject his or her own sexuality. One who is struggling with internalized homophobia may also have an ongoing internal conflict over his or her feelings of sexual attraction and the desire to be heterosexual.
