My Crooked Smile Experience as a Lesbian in Nigeria

7 min read

Sexuality is one of the biggest parts of who we are, it’s a key part of our characteristics that goes a long way into defining our personhood. Your sexuality is like your shadow, you can quench the light to avoid a clear image, but it wouldn’t stop following you everywhere you go. It is part of you.

About a month ago, I read a story on this blog about a lady who narrated how she skipped becoming a lesbian, my story is similar, not skipped, but dipped in a lezzy puddle… I am a lesbian.

From the moment I became 9-years-old, my parents started to become insecure because of my rapid growth, I was full in my chest, curvy, and looking sexually attractive for my age. They decided an all-girls school would save me from boys and unnecessary distractions, so my schooling was immediately processed to a missionary school; the holier the better I guess. I was advised to study hard only.

You know how it is, getting to a new environment, you wanna know what really goes down in Las Vegas. The first orientation I got was tales of how senior students would try to lure junior students to sleep with them. Being inquisitive, I wondered how it would feel like laying with the same sex, I was young and wasn’t even nursing any sex drive. There were some targeted seniors whose names were mentioned to me as lesbians so I had a close gaze fixed on them.

One day during siesta, I decided I wasn’t going to sleep, luckily or maybe unluckily for me, I found these sets of seniors in an enclosed space making out. I could have run off to my room and pretended like I never saw a thing but instead I watched to a point where I got so aroused. Since the incident, I’ll reminisce on all they did and get even more aroused. That memory and feeling lived with me, the more I tried to suppress it, the more I yearned to replicate it with my girlfriends.

In my JSS 2, my craving for girls became stronger. I heard of how people were caught in the act so I was scared to try or think about it. My school was a missionary school but I saw lots of nasty things girls do. In my JSS 3, a senior approached me to be friends but I declined because everyone knew she was a lesbian. I mean she could have been one in secrecy, I wouldn’t mind, but getting along with someone stale would let my caged cats out of the bag to the whole school.

There’s this bonding category thing we did in school then,  we get to pair ourselves up for example as PALs(PERSONAL Admirable Lover), SALs (secret admirable lover), a class friend, a JAF(Just A Friend), and even vals during valentines day. This made me have access to different girlfriends for several purposes.  They knew my intention but were scared to try anything out rather we’ll give ourselves pecks, jokingly touched each other’s breast and emphasized how soft, small or big it was.

In my SS1, we were mixed with seniors in the hostel and as fate would play, the senior that tried to toast me in Js3 was in my room. She began sending me love letters which had a way of sparking up my sensual appetite, I looked forward to them.

One night, she asked me to sleep on her bed, I agreed. She made attempts to touch me, I refused yet agreed to a kiss. It was my first kiss! It felt good, I wanted more but held back. Unluckily for me, my school mother who was in the same class with her somehow found out we spent the night together and came to accuse me of being a lesbian. I denied it. From there, the gist raised so much dust in the school and without hearing me out, my senior lover broke up with me. My first heartbreak! I was hurt! I cried so much! I pleaded for a comeback, but she was totally done with me. I couldn’t stop thinking about her, her smell, towel, beddings, and how soft her skin was even though we didn’t smooch. I wish we actually did.

Well, much later that year, I got close to one of my mates who was very much sexy. I remember vividly our first encounter up the bunk where we talked about sex and one talk lead to another, she asked to make out with me, to which I agreed. When everyone was asleep, she started touching me, it felt so good. I turned to her and we kissed intensely, she touched my breast and smooched my body. I couldn’t help but cooperate, I had never felt that way before. The sensual urge made me feel so wet and then she fingered me countlessly which I enjoyed even more. 

That night opened my eyes going forward. I wanted more of that feeling, I wanted to be around females who looked like they wanted to experiment, I became less apologetic about lesbianism, and couldn’t wait to get out of school.

LEAVING SCHOOL & BEYOND

Leaving school was a different ball game entirely, all the girls I met were all talking about one male crush or the other, the sex adventures they looked forward to, and worse off, I discovered that the outer world was even more hostile about lesbianism. It became more scary and shameful to talk about my sexuality.

Donate For Muttering Minds

I pressured myself into having a relationship with a male, just to be sure there was nothing wrong with me. We had good sex but believe me, it wasn’t as great as the lady I had been with. To enjoy the sex, I’ll imagine I was sexing a lady, her eating me out, sucking my boobs until my nipples turn red and more… all these imageries to get me to enjoy my time with a man. Maybe I am bisexual, just maybe…all I know is I prefer anything sensual with females.

lesbian in Nigeria

Luckily for me one time, I reconnected with my high school lover, that chic, and we had the most erotic bedroom adventure ever. Asides from the romance, the emotions, getting to hold a lady after such a long time, looking into her eyes and stuff, felt like magic. That moment gave me the closure I needed on my sexuality. I accepted that I am a lesbian and there was nothing I could do about it other than to live with it.

Although It’s hard to find lesbians who come out open in Nigeria, because of the stigma, we connect through groups online and so far I have met a handful of amazing lesbians. Sometimes if it’s my lucky day, I get approached by a lady. Somehow I feel scared that I might have to bend for society someday because I wanna get married and have kids. So far the men I’ve met and opened up to about my sexuality appeared cool but marriage might not be easy. I have this idea of having a threesome with my husband, I think I can stomach it that way.

lesbian in Nigeria

On this note, I’ll like to add that the world is unfair to my kind, especially in Africa, Nigeria. Sex is one of the most popular topics discussed on a daily, yet it is truncated. How do you ask a person their opinion about sex without asking them about their sexuality? This should go hand in hand. Straight people enjoy sex talk until you let them in on your secret and then they make you feel creepy about it. What’s so creepy about being a lesbian or bisexual? How hard is it for straight people to understand that just the same way they cannot explain how they arrived at their sexuality, it’s the same for others? 

Read: Hypocrites! Homosexuality Is Not A Crime

Even though my profession will not permit me to identify with my sexuality, I hope that one day LGBTQ is made legal in Nigeria. Being bisexual, gay, or lesbian in Nigeria is not something that should be a secret, it’s something we should be bold about, we are humans too and deserve equal treatment. There are many LGBTQ persons in Nigeria, it could be your sister or your little brother who’s always by himself, seeming depressed and with low self-esteem. This, to say the least, is what suppressing sexuality does to a person, it’s suicide.

Let me ask you, in a world that’s homophobic if your child told you they were gay or lesbian, what would you do? I’ll also love to hear your candid opinion on homosexuality in Nigeria and if you are not straight, please feel free to leave me an insight on your sexuality discovery and journey. How did you get there? when did you discover YOU? And so far how’s it been?  The admin assured me here is a safe place, hence a partly motivation for sharing my story, I look forward to your comments. 👇👇

Hmmm..many things are happening in this our craving world. One thing l hold onto is that one should not set his path on his personal opinion and desires.
We all have to guide ourselves on the doctrines of our religion to which we all belong to.

Very insightful and interesting read. This adds to the long list of reasons my kids will never attend a boarding school in Nigeria. To be honest, I’ll be more understanding of the situation she’s in if she was involved with an opposite sex. As much as we like to claim a person’s sexual orientation isn’t their’s to choose, and the believe that everyone has a right to be sexually inclined how they choose to be, I still feel homosexuality is a mental disorder or psychological illness that should be faced with therapy sessions… I wouldn’t say I’m homophobic, I just… Read more »

I beg to disagree that you are not homophobic especially because you tagged it as a ‘mental illness’. And yeah if only she had her path different, she would have been straight maybe. At the end of the day, environmental factors (exposure) play a huge role in determining sexuality. Thank you!!!

Most scientists don’t understand it. Some might justify it but I strongly feel its a psychological disorder. Given a different growing up environment, the ‘lesbian’ would be different. She wasn’t born/made/biologically created that way. If she wants to change, she will make the decision 1st, then get therapy and reorientation and she will get back to normal or pseudo-normal because she still knows what it feels like to be with a girl.

Maybe a psychological disorder then because of the early sexual influences she had. I’m confident if she went to a mixed school and had boys run after her, it might have been a different story.

I am HOMOPHOBIC and that’s because I see nothing right in being homosexual!!! No one was created a homosexual. IT CATEGORICALLY IS CHOICE!!! In the writers case, this is purely avoidable and even in the all female boarding school she could have avoided this too if she was that enough home schooled and disciplined within self.

Many times, failure or lack of sex education result to situation like this.

homosexual is interesting to those that engage in it, they have been able to justify it but we can’t totally deny the fact that something is wrong with it.

It is not just a sin problem, it is negation of God’s creation.

The only expectation of homosexualism is orgasm and it failure of sex education.

If your opposite sex will give you multiple orgasms like your same sex partner will do, tell me why you need to be a lesbian?

But unfortunately, most men know very little or nothing about it.

Yes being straight and homo are thoughts… it’s what you’re accustomed to… they say what you watch and read also makes you hence why i said homo like the writer said was as a result of childhood adrenaline and what the mind nutured to want to explore, hence in exploring you get comfortable with and like it, likewise being straight so it can be changed, like i said no one’s born straight or homo, they’re habits yh, we see, we listen, we want to explore our bodies as kids hence we grow into them.

The identity of the Nigerian society is lost in its importations of multiple foreign cultures, traditions, and noncorresponding civilizations, hence, the dilemmas we face when tackling issues like sexuality. Lesbianism, though entrenched in history, is proof of development for various cultures and political spheres. Sexual freedom demonstrates the level of freedom any system has bestowed upon its citizenry. But in the case of Nigeria, with multiple socio-political and economic settings, it’s hard to understand what it supports. Although, most people publically oppose it, especially those who hold religion tightly, the presence of multiple civilizations still makes it a highly debatable… Read more »

I keep saying it environmental factors and orientation is what’s causing all these. Even in nature it’s mostly the opposite sex except in very very few cases. If it was normal we would have seen alot of them in nature without looking too hard. Miss anonymous, if truly you want to marry and have kids, you’ll have to hide it forever if not relocate to USA.

Hmmn, this is a very sensitive topic in which people do not like to talk about In this part of the world simply because of the contempt associated with it.

I stand to be corrected but there is hardly any boarding school you wouldn’t find such behavior (secretly done).

And whatever habit kids pick-up during their formative years, it’s quite difficult for them to drop (there are few exceptions though) So, in the writer’s case, she may have to live like this.

Let me chip this in, Christianity-wise, the bible kicks sternly against such.

The fact that the constitution kicks against something doesn’t make it wrong and that’s why laws are being repealed.
I think the judgement is best left to God. I don’t have an explanation for the LGBTQ issue, but to have a near-understanding, I tell myself that gay people feel for their sex the same way straight people feel for the opposite sex.
If straight people can’t ever imagine being sexual with their sex; that’s the way homosexuals feel about the opposite sex. Voilà!

So many sexual activities occur in mixed schools and not everyone accepted to date, same for those of us in all girls school, you can turn off admirers too. Your becoming a lesbian was a choice. For those saying their children will not attend boarding school. Sorry to disappoint you, lesbians are in mixed school too, my cousin was so chased and she nearly agreed. Decency is confirming to the standard of the… Read more »

Maybe at first it’s choice and then it graduates to addiction huh? Just maybe 🤔🤔. You mentioned that decency is conforming to the standards of the society, you’ll agree with me that some societal rules are unfair and doesn’t give room for individuality, right?

Beautiful story. So as a Christian I believe it’s a sin yeah but the Bible also teaches about love and I’ll put love first whether it’s my child, a friend or a stranger. Las Las we all sin, not trying to justify though because choosing to be gay will be a continuous but then aren’t people who fornicate the same? 🤔🤔 For me even though I can’t practice it except if I was a lady though, the only thing between I accepting homosexualism is what the Bible says about it being a sin. I wish everyone with such feeling the… Read more »

I don’t have an explanation for the LGBTQ issue, but to have a near-understanding, I tell myself that gay people feel for their sex the same way straight people feel for the opposite sex. If straight people can’t bear the thought of being sexual with their own sex; that’s the way homosexuals feel about the opposite sex too. Voilà! A person shouldn’t make judgements on things he cannot empathize with. Do you think most people would actually like to subject themselves to the pain and stigma of being sexually different in a country as homophobic as Nigeria? Besides, it’s taking… Read more »

those that think that the boarding school is the problem, you are so wrong.. infact, she would have realised that she is lesbian much quicker if she attended a male + female public school, just that it would have been difficult to have certain experiences. Funny how the Christians will condone abuse, incest, murderers and child molestation (the most sinful acts to ever exist) happening in the communities or within the churches.. you preach forgiveness and love and acceptance. Christians are very unchristian most times hey. same person who will say homosexuality is not condoned by God, will turn the… Read more »

Well said Nomusa. Your last sentence, I’m guessing it’s a typo, do you mean to say “will not turn…”?

I am an on and off reader of the contents on this site. This will be my first time commenting on any of topics, and I felt moved to do so, especially after reading the comments. I strongly believe someone’s sexuality isn’t by choice. It more often than not is because we are born that way, and we have little control over it. I have never told anyone this, when I was really young, about 6-7 years old, I and a few of my friends, same age mates, would make out, intensely, when we were free and the parents were… Read more »

“@ to the best of my knowledge” cracked me up though 🤣🤣. I hope that going forward you respond to stories here often❤.

I have only one question for you; would you have ever existed if your mum chose to be a lesbian. LGBT is witchcraft y, it’s like human beings eating the flesh of another human beings
