Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has expressed surprise at the level of attention he received from Nigerian ministers and senators during his 2024 ordeal with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), stating that he never realized he was so “special” until then.
Speaking about betrayals that led him into exile and his romantic ties with Nigerian celebrities, Bobrisky revealed in a Snapchat video that he had been involved in intimate relationships with seven well-known figures in the country.
He hinted at plans to expose fake personalities in Nigeria and release the names of the celebrities he had dated.
Bobrisky also highlighted the difference in recognition of his gender identity, stating that while Nigeria would never acknowledge him as female on official documents, he is respected for his identity in his current location.
“The time will come when I will list seven celebrities I have dated in Nigeria. The time will come when I will expose the fake people in that country.
“I never knew I was so special until last year when ministers and senators started discussing me. Imagine a minister leaving work to focus on Bobrisky—am I that important?
“If I lived in Nigeria for 100 years, they would never put ‘female’ on my passport or driver’s license. But here, I’m respected for who I am,” he said.
