Nigeria’s culture might seem ever-evolving against a barrage of external influence, but whenever such a battle between tradition and modernity emerges, it comes across as a clash of values. This is more so the case when contentions arise around the issue of cross-dressing, a phenomenon that has sparked heated debates and polarized opinions across the nation.
Enter Otunba Segun Runsewe, a lone voice amidst the cacophony of chaos, boldly sounding the alarm on the potential dangers of unchecked cross-dressing, particularly the influence of the flamboyant figure known as Bobrisky (real name Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju).
As the former Director-General of National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Runsewe stood as a lamp of sanity in a clime of madness, tirelessly advocating for moral rectitude and societal decorum.
Now, his clarion call has been answered. The Nigerian government, spurred by concerns over the societal impact of cross-dressing, has taken decisive action, banning the practice outright.
In a landmark move, the Kano State Government has imposed a prohibition on films depicting hoodlums and cross-dressing, citing fears of deviant behavior among the youth.
For Runsewe, this victory is not merely symbolic—it is a validation of his unwavering commitment to the moral fabric of society. His persistent advocacy against the normalization of cross-dressing has borne fruit, culminating in tangible legislative action to curb its proliferation.
The recent arrest of Bobrisky, the most prominent exponent of cross-dressing in Nigeria, serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of flouting societal norms. While some may decry the move as an infringement on individual freedoms, others see it as a necessary step to preserve the integrity of Nigerian culture and uphold traditional values.
In the absence of Runsewe’s resolute stance against cross-dressing, the trajectory of this cultural battle may have taken a darker turn.
His steadfast advocacy has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in shaping public discourse and influencing policy decisions on this contentious issue. Yes, In a world of shifting values and evolving norms, his voice resonates as the ram’s horn of clarity in the midst of uncertainty.

Why flaunting the word cross dresser? what’s this so called crossdressing? the media had been unduly using the borrowed rubbish term to paint such indecency and immorality in attractive colours, Call a spade a spade and the right word is homosexual ,period. The Europeans are long lost on this route of no return and our unfortunate youths are dangerously following the same route while the government that we have is folding its hands and the police has been searching for laws to nail these idiots smearing the remaining good image of our bartered society. Terms like social media personality, social media influencer, cross dresser are used by our press media to brand such immortality and indecency giving it encouragement to thrive and youths in our higher institutions and even outside it are stupidly cranked into the unwholesome and disgraceful indecency, The government should sit up and call a spade a spade and deal with the ugly rotten trend in our society immediately !
