Bobrisky finally opens up on how he successfully changed to woman

Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, a popular and controversial transgender in Nigeria, has described how he became a crossdresser.

In a recent interview with Charly Boy, Bobrisky makes a key disclosure concerning his transition to woman. 

Bobrisky said that his adventure into crossdressing began as a clever business strategy while selling unisex apparel as an undergraduate at the University of Lagos.

According to him, he had no clue that this seemingly innocuous action would lead him to an entirely different character.

Despite his parents’ initial reservations, Bobrisky stated that he gradually gained the courage to be true to himself and fully accept his identity as a transgender woman, crediting his parents for allowing him to express himself freely and live genuinely.

In his words:

“About nine years ago, I was at the University of Lagos studying Accounting. I also had a side hustle, I was selling unisex clothes. Most times I try the female wears on myself and I love the outfits.

“From there, I moved to female hairstyles to makeup and more women were patronizing my business. So I decided to keep crossdressing since it was lucrative.

“I wasn’t thinking I was going to do it for a very long time. Initially, it was just a marketing strategy but people were complimenting me that I look better as a woman than a man. That’s how I ended up being Bobrisky.”
