About this listen
In this episode of Odejuma, Harry chats with Writer and Scholar Adebayo Quadry-Adekanbi about the complexities of queer identity in Nigeria. Adebayo draws on his experiences living between Nigeria and the UK to not only share his journey of discovering his queerness but also speak to the historical impacts of colonialism on current anti-LBGTQ laws and what visibility truly means in places where homophobia runs deep. They dive into the politics of safety, how queer spaces are being commodified, and the role of the elite in shaping how people view queerness.
From cultural practices that quietly affirm queerness to the contradictions we all face, this episode challenges listeners to understand the complexity of navigating queerness as a Nigerian. With a blend of vulnerability and critical insight, Adebayo presents a bold vision of what it means to live authentically as a queer individual. Their conversation serves as a poignant exploration of identity, resistance, and the potential to envision queer futures beyond borders.
