Popular Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky has revealed how many celebrities he has dated in Nigeria.

Bobrisky made the disclosure when speaking about the betrayals that pushed him into exile.

In a recent Snapchat video, the crossdresser claimed to have personal relationships with seven Nigerian celebrities.

While announcing plans to expose and name those celebrities, Bobrisky, in his heated rant, described them as fake individuals in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Reflecting on the condemnation from some Nigerian celebrities and politicians during his EFCC ordeal, he distanced himself from the country’s expectations.

“The time is coming when I will list seven celebrities I have dated in Nigeria. The time is coming when I will expose 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.”

She said, “A lot of stillbirths are due to negligence. It’s either the doctor was not sound or the nurse didn’t do her job on time or they arrived the hospital late.

“During my first labour, my kidney failed, my heart was weak, my liver…everything was just shutting down because of childbirth. She [my daughter] had detached from the placenta. If I was a second late [to the hospital] she would have lost oxygen and I would have had a stillbirth?

“Everytime I look at her, I just say, ‘What if…?’ The what ifs have tormented me. They tormented me so much. I will look at her and I will just… even just remembering I’m getting so nervous. The what ifs were so many and they haunted me for a while. I had to get therapy to walk me through being grateful.”
