The clerics were cited to have endorsed cross dressing since they consented to pray at Bobrisky’s housewarming ceremony.
Netizens have bashed Muslim clerics who attended Bobrisky’s housewarming ceremony to pray for the cross dresser.
A viral video on social media shows Muslim clerics praying at the housewarming ceremony of Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, the infamous crossdresser.
Bobrisky was seated and completely dressed in female Yoruba traditional garb in the footage from the occasion on Sunday, surrounded by Muslim clerics who sat on the floor and said Islamic prayers.
The appearance of clerics at the crossdresser’s event was criticized in the video by Twitter users.
Celebrities and influencers including as Laide Bakare, Ashmusy, Mercy Eke, and others were present at Bobrisky’s N400 million mansion’s housewarming celebration.
Some reactions from tweeps:
@ola_bode20, said, “How will those Alfas address Bobrisky? Hajia Idris or Alhaji wa Idris? Because they will have to mention a name.”
@tee_classiquem1, also said, “Religion leaders are forfeiting the words of God for the sake of money. How can Alfas and Chief Imam that a whole community is looking up to attend Bobrisky house warming party? Is this not like endorsing cross-dressing under Islam? This is so embarrassing to watch.”
@unclefemi_ who seemed angered said, “Alfa rallied around Bobrisky, praying for her. They don’t know he is a boy turned girl? Double standard everywhere.”
@nafiumohammed tweeted, “So all these Alfas went to pray at Bobrisky’s house warming party for Real? Alfa isonu, I hail thee. Alfas on the floor and senior man on the chair. This ones na ikpanni Alfas them be.”
@okinbakare tweeted, “All this useless Alfa make them see good ones finish, hunger no make them talk truth, can they ask if Bobrisky is she or he so they can know how to talk or pray for her/him?
Netizens reasons for bashing and calling out the Muslim clerics is that their participation subtly endorses cross-dressing and other related issues.
