eye opening article

Deliberate twisting of history should be considered as a punishable crime. Did the lady even ask herself when trouser was introduced in Africa to label Sango a cross dresser. The only feminist attribute exhibited by Sango was the plaiting of his hair. And that started after he married his last wife who was always plaiting his hair out of love. The most painful part is that there are thousands versions of Sango's history and it is very hard to tell the original undiluted one. Another history book has it that there were two Sango. The original Sango during the era of obatala and Orunmila. Another Sango, which is the 4th king of Oyo (birth name: Itiolu) copied the attributes of original Sango.

On the point of Adodi and Adofuro as used in the yoruba proverb. This is extremely ridiculous. These two words actually mean the same thing as Adodi is a more subtle way of the word Adoduro. It has nothing to do with homosexualism. In fact, yoruba culture frowns at homosexuality

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

No wonder. What of oduduwa? Is that why he was thrown out of heaven?.

How does Cross-dressing prove homosexuality?
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.

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

HeWrites:
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"

the same sango that had three wives? it was his last wife that plaited his hair as a show of affection between the... if any historian is saying something contrary to this, he/she can't be doing good in the field

A lot of ignorant people online today.


There's no doubt that every culture in the world had/has these homosexuals.


Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa are not strangers to these acts.


The question is, was it socially acceptable in Yoruba land?


Calling someone by the name "adofuro" is a big slur. A huge insult that could get you killed if you mistakenly call some innocent person that way.


In fact, homosexuals were always closeted so as not to be labelled that.


So insinuating that homosexuality was part of Yoruba culture is ignorance at its peak.


Sango dressed the way he did because that was what was in vogue. You didn't expect him to be in suit and tie did you?


How about Igbo men that tie wrapper? Are they all cross dressers too?


The lesbian that wrote that article claiming orunmila was a product of lesbian sex should go and conceive a baby with her lesbian partner and lets see how that'll come about.


There is no justification for homosexuality. The great Roman empire was great until the men diverted into perverted homosexual relationships. That marked the beginning of the end of the Roman empire.


For the Igbos jumping up and down on this thread, I think you should ask your parents the Igbo word for @ss-fvcker. I'm sure you aren't naïve enough to believe that homosexuality and lesbianism didn't exist in Igbo land too, what with the women possessing abundant male hormones enough to make them look masculine and very hairy.

Rickyuzzy:
Yuval Noah Harari reminded the world in his spectacular book, Sapiens, last year. Anything that can happen is by definition natural. If two women can find a way to sexual pleasure, then by the obvious evidence nature already allows it. If a man can wear what we now call ‘female clothing’ and not fall down and die because of it, then it is by nature natural. Nature allows a massive spectrum of possibilities, he reminds us; it is us humans that limit the possibilities with our fears, taboos and phobias, not nature.

But let’s still investigate the word ‘natural’. Is there anything intrinsically positive about the Natural? In the first few centuries after Christ, it was very natural for a man to have 14 children and to lose more than a dozen of them to disease, and it was very natural for bacteria to wipe off millions of people because there was none of the medicines we have now. Those were very natural. And yet here we are now, as a race, having overcome those challenges, because we found ‘unnatural’ ways to fight nature through medicine. Indeed, humanity has spent the past two million years, since man discovered fire, fighting and running away from ‘nature’. We build houses to escape the rain. We buy shaving powder to get rid of the natural hair that grows on our chins and armpits. And we have unnatural caesarian operations because sometimes nature is careless, thoughtless and pointless.
