They whispered in hush tone, with brief moment of hand-touching interrupting their gist. Then, as if in a Hollywood movie they drew even closer, kissed and began a slow process of smooching. Love-birds, no doubt only that they were female students. Welcome to Enugu State University of Technology.
“Beware of men.” That age-old, ominous advice a mother would give to her daughter, has since become old-fashioned. Like a wildfire in harmattan, lesbianism is spreading across Nigerian schools, both secondary and tertiary. Female students are falling head over heels in love with their kind, National Daily Weekend learnt.
Intriguing is the fact that the current prevalence of lesbianism on campuses and in secondary school is no strange happening. “It's no news even inside and outside campus. It is dirty, I would prefer flirting with men than mess around with my fellow girl. All these lesbians should be recommended for deliverance and prayers; it is very embarrassing to fall so low. I know a lot of them involved even in my room and class but I always pray that God will have mercy on them. Some of them get in there out of ignorance while some get in there due to the kind of company they keep. I don't think that any of them can approach me because when they see their type, they will know because it is not the case of a mistaken identity. Parents can help the school authority control this because the lady will always listen to her parents better than anyone else,” Uche Ugochukwu, a student at the Lagos State University said.
Like every normal male-female relationship, lesbians too suffer from suspicion syndrome. A student who spoke with this newspaper claimed that squabbles over infidelity suspicion are not uncommon. “It will sound so funny if anybody claims that he has not heard about lesbianism on this campus, it is a normal thing, in fact I can count as many as ten of them that I know. I have witnessed an incident where a girl's body was torn with razor by the people sent by her lesbian partner all because she had an affair with another girl, in fact I didn't even know how that case was settled. It is really a terrible issue that needs to be checked,” Dele Ogunbiyi, an Economics major at UNILAG revealed.
Investigations by National Daily Weekend revealed how female students get lured into lesbianism. The dorm is an avenue. Girls are exposed to lesbianism in dormitories while still in secondary schools, especially girls-only schools. Findings showed that some of the junior students who are protected and regarded as 'school daughters' by the senior students are easy preys.
For those who may not have had the exposure at the post-primary level, they face another hurdle when they gain admission into tertiary institutions, where more freedom for students is guaranteed. Sometimes, without experience and exposure, these ones become entrapped in cultism and subsequently, lesbianism. One of such students who had undergone the initiation process into Black Brassieres, a female cult group, spoke under condition of anonymity with National Daily Weekend about her ordeal.
“I just got admission into the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, then and was lured into the cult by a friend who I knew in my town at Owerri. We were ushered into a room at Lady Ibiam Hostel and there were plenty of girls inside. We were all asked to remove our dresses and given cucumbers to insert into our private part. Some of the girls that refused were beaten with belts. Later we were asked in turns to make love to one another which we did. They encouraged us to love one another and assured us of protection,” she narrated.
Another strategy employed to trap unwary female students is by demonstrating a sense of magnanimity. “Once you are greedy, you may be a victim because some of these lesbians are from wealthy homes and would want to spoil you with money. Please they should not be considered as topic at all, they are not worth it and I even pity anyone that wants to start preaching for them to stop. They have a lot to offer themselves if you volunteer yourself, you belong,” an undergraduate student at the University of Lagos who identified herself as Joanette revealed.
From the University of Lagos to Imo State University; from University of Ibadan to Bayero University, the story is the same: Lesbianism is practised with reckless abandon and the lesbians are in desperate search for more female initiates. They lure young girls into the practice through various means like direct approach, social networking sites, clubs and text messages, National Daily Weekend learnt. Emmanuel Bassey, a Mechanical Engineering Student at UNILAG told National Daily Weekend how ladies hold lectures on strategies to win more lovers.
A 16 year-old girl's experience illustrates this fact. “She invited me over to her apartment, and when I got there, I discovered that she was alone. Then after talking with me a little while, she started making love advances towards me and made a move to touch my breast and at the same time kiss, I refused. I was very shy and it was at that time I realized what I was into. I told her I couldn't do that because she is a woman like me and that it was a dirty act. She laughed and said that I was still a baby that needed to be brushed up so I could see the light. That boy-girl relationship is no longer in vogue; I don't know how to put all that she said to me now because I feel am still in a trance. After her sermon, she tried a second time to fondle me and I stood and left her house and I have never been there again ever since, though she calls me often,” she narrated.
Though many of the girls that spoke to National Daily Weekend condemned the act, they acknowledged the prevalence of lesbianism and to them it is a lifestyle choice. “Me I don't see anything bad in it long as am concerned, it is part of life. The girls are enjoying themselves, so they should go on with the enjoyment. I don't know why we are disturbing ourselves unnecessarily in what is not our business; men are not as trustworthy as ladies. In fact I would have even joined long time ago if not that I decided to change my mind. Men are heart breakers. Meanwhile, I don't really think there is something that pushes them into it, they are enjoying themselves and let's leave them alone,” Aminat Lawal of the Yaba College of Technology said.
For Ibitoye Damilola, a third year Mass Communication major in UNILAG, she does not see anything bad in a girl being in love with another girl. “Well, it's the case of different strokes for different folk; I don't really see anything bad in it. If both ladies feel that they enjoy themselves, why not, they should go ahead and do whatever they feel is right for them. The funniest thing is that nobody introduces them to it, while some of them came into campus with it, others got in there as a result of curiosity. They should not be condemned as if they have done worse than what a girl and her boyfriend does. Let's face reality, sin is sin, atrocity is atrocity, whether it is between a boy and a girl or between two girls. Nobody has ever approached me to be her partner, although it is rampant on campus but I don't think e should waste our time thinking on what to do to check or stop it,” she said.
National Daily Weekend also learnt that some of the students have lovers that are elderly who they usually regard as “Mummy”. Some of these mature lesbians are society ladies who are affluent. They have been alleged to be the brain behind the spread of lesbianism in universities. They fund social events hosted by the girls and task their younger lovers to recruit (this recruitment exercise goes with a financial budget) more girls into their group, investigations revealed. “These women have money to spend and they are the ones really corrupting some of these girls. If you stand at Moremi Hall, UNILAG, on Fridays you will see them drive in to take the girls home for weekend. They buy everything for these girls from expensive phones to jewelries and electronics; some even pay for their trips to Dubai and South Africa,” Alex, a post-graduate student at the University of Lagos informed. In addition to the mature lesbians using their wealth and affluence to sleep with young female students, this newspaper found out that some of the girls are pimped to politicians and their wives of whom a healthy number are in the same league as bi-sexual.
Married women are prime suspects too. A popular Nollywood actress, Ebube Nwagbo once told National Daily Weekend in an interview that she was constantly being disturbed for sex by women especially the married ones. While reacting to a question on how come lesbianism is common in Nollywood, she replied: “Lesbianism is not just in Nollywood, it is everywhere but because it is Nollywood it is news. I have heard about it and get calls from women all the time and they are not in Nollywood, yet they want to be with you especially married women. I get such calls all the time. I avoid them by telling them I am not interested. Before, I used to be polite which made them keep calling me. It is sickening and when I found out that they want me as their partner, I told them off, by bluntly making it clear that I am not interested. I discovered that being polite does not solve matters.”
To some of the students, lesbianism is loathsome and dirty while others described lesbians as being under a curse. “I just believe that the people involved are cursed and that was why God took away their conscience so that they will not see anything wrong in doing it. Those involved should go ahead to possess their possession but the truth of the matter is that I can never associate with anybody doing such a thing. There is nothing leading them to it, they lead themselves into it and may God punish any of them that will get to my door step. It is just prayers that will save them,” said Blessing, a student of Lagos State Polytechnic. For Muson Adeleye, she sees the game as dirty.
“It is a dirty game, but I don't know what my fellow ladies see in it, according to a friend of mine who is also in the business, she said that she just feels comfortable dating a lady instead of a guy because dating a guy will give you more headache and problem. Though I have them around me, none of them have made advances at me because I have always condemned it. Secondly, once they see you as a Tom-girl, they just start admiring you and may finally lure you into it. It is only through prayers that they can change,” she said.
For Kevwe Ufoma of UNILAG, lesbianism is part of the life they live on campus which cannot be stopped or checked. “Definitely, it is part of life on campus; you can't just check nor stop it but sometimes I will be asking why a girl will want to be doing such things and what a girl can give to her that the opposite sex cannot give her. I believe they are just fooling themselves and don't really know what they are doing. I have been approached on so many occasions with different kinds of gift to belong but I couldn't imagine myself being a lesbian and that was when I found out that it was gifts and money that really entice these girls. The school, government and parents, to be able to check and minimize this should set a punishment for any culprit,” she said.
While parents should be thinking of the way forward, Ivie Oghene a second year student at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka sees the practice as a life which must go on. “Life goes on. Lesbianism is fun, and it is just Nigeria's mentality that is trying to paint it black. I don't have anything to do with guys; they are only thorns in my flesh. A fellow girl will never break your heart and you people will always live peacefully. Talking about what can lead someone into it, I will tell you it is love. The way you will see a man and love him is the same way you will see a girl and love her so what's the big deal? What is there is there; so you can't change it,” she said proudly.
With the ever rising poverty level and sky-rocketing cost of education in Nigeria, there stands a chance that with time majority of the female students from indigent homes who are easy targets for lesbian cliques, the trend may be increasing across the country if urgent steps are not taken to curb the spread.
Anambra
Apart from individual acts, there is also an emerging circle of lesbians in town. Investigation has it that these group of young girls, many of which are neither in school or employed mainly take part in nude show that take place every Wednesday at a hotel located in a high brow area of Awka, close to the State House of Assembly Quarters, where they are paid for appearing on the show with a thank-you- for-coming fee of N5, 000.
After the show, the girls end up at another hotel located at Amawbia with their “Babies” to wine up. There, they book for rooms where they engage in the act of lesbianism and heavy drinking and smoking. Other business of this circle is displaying the act for rich and influential men who later pay them off to the tune N10, 000 and above, depending on the calibre of men and ladies on display.
Similarly, married women are not left out of the business as some of them who were into it before marriage finds it hard to let go after settling down with a man. According to Ebele Okeke who recently got married, she stressed that lesbianism is an act that eats deep into the flesh, that once you get into it, it would be hard to let go. “I was a lesbian and still am. I became a lesbian because of the bad experience I got from men, you see men are cheats and they can never keep to one date at a time but when you have a baby and you are taking care of her, you are sure you have her to yourself anytime, any day. Again, the issue of infection or disease does not arise, also you don't entertain the fear of getting pregnant… and in all that, you get full satisfaction. If not for the purpose of child bearing, I don't think I would have married a man but I tell you frankly, If I had the opportunity of being abroad, I would have ended up marrying a fellow girl, instead we adopt a child if need be,” she said.
Before the present upsurge in lesbianism in Awka, two female students of Federal Polytechnic Oko in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State were caught by the anti-cult group pants down in the school auditorium engaged in amorous relationship. Reacting to the deed, the lead girl said that it was a bad spirit that always pushed her into the act as she could not always get hold of herself anytime the urge comes. She confessed to having about 11 different girls she indulges in the crazy act with. However, the authorities of the school reacted swiftly to the development by expelling the “Romeo and Juliet” on the grounds that their act could smear the image of the institution.
Though no reason has been established for the recent rise in the number of lesbians in Awka, a sociology psychologist, Dr. Nnamdi Okwudili attributed it to the degenerating moral standard in the society and the quest for material interest on the part of the young generation. Okwudili, however, cautioned parents against being unconcerned with the type of friends their children keep and also to ensure they have sound moral upbringing.
Enugu
The despicable act, lesbianism is also spreading in Enugu State. National Daily Weekend findings show that some girls in the higher institutions of learning engage in this unwholesome act, just as some of their male counterparts engage in homosexuality.
Acknowledging the existence of lesbianism in the nation's universities, Miss Tricia Okeke, a 300- Level Microbiology student of the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, told our correspondent that though she does not indulge in such act which she described as “an anathema,” she was not oblivious of the fact that some of her female counterparts indulge it.
“I have my boy friend, why should I do such a thing? It is an anathema, I don't see why girls should do such a thing,” she said
Another female student of the same University, Miss Glad Anang, 200-level Accountancy, said she was aware that some female students were engaging in lesbianism.
“I went to visit one of my friends in her hostel and do you know what I saw? I saw four girls hilariously watching a blue film where lesbians are being displayed. You can then imagine what those girls are up to?” she queried.
To Miss Rita Ojo of the department of Mass Communication, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, (ESUT), Enugu , “lesbianism is spreading like wild fire because of foreign films and even home videos.”
An ND final, Electrical/ Electronics Engineering, IMT, Enugu, Mr. Austin Ike, said “some girls have gone mad. They engage in this thing (lesbianism).” He narrated his experience of how he chased a particular girl for months without success and he was aware that she is not religious. He concluded that she could belong to one of the groups known on the campus as MATES (Men Are The Enemies), which is “a group of women who detest having sexual intercourse with men but rather prefer their female counterparts for fun. “
Lesbianism which is an age-long practice, historians say, dates from the early Greek society in 776480 B.C. and was mainly attributed to Sappho, a poet, who was considered a bi-sexual because she wrote love poems addressed to both women and men. The word "lesbian" derives from the name of the island of her birth, Lesbos. The narrators of many of her poems speak of infatuations and love.
Once again, many homes are put on the spot as lesbianism seems to have come to stay with the high level of heartbreaks experienced by the female folks and the perks that come with being a lesbian.
