– Hermaphrodite player was booted out of
the Falconet’s camp over her predicament
– Laments her inability to have a boyfriend
– Cries out for help as she wants to have
her own family and bear children
Nigerian female football player, Bessy Ekaete
Boniface who has both male and female
organs, has opened up on her predicament.
The Ibom Angels player from Akwa Ibom
state lamented her inability to have a
boyfriend and have a family of her own
because she has been unable to overcome
her challenges which have spanned years.
In a recent interview with The Sun, the
former Delta Queens’ player before her exit
from the Falconets camp prior to the Chile
2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup due to
her predicament, stated that she was duped
in 2010 by those who pretended to be
raising funds for her to have a corrective
surgery oversees.
The Nigerian football player who says she is
tired of her hermaphrodite status.
“I have been going through a traumatic time
and it has not been easy coping with the
situation.
Through the help of some people, I
have tried severally to see if I can get the
attention of my state government. This has not
been successful. The last effort I made, I was
advised to write a letter and send it via DHL to
the governors office.
“When I inquired about the procedure, I was
told that to send a letter through DHL will cost
N10,000, which I could not afford.
“As the breadwinner of my family, it has been
tough making ends meet. Throughout last
year I did not play with my Club Ibom Angels
because of the injury I sustained,” Bessy
explained.
The 12-goal hero for Delta Queens in the
2007 women’s league season, lamented
further, stating: “My wish is to get married
and raise a family of my own but I cannot have
it because of this situation. I don’t have any
boyfriend. I long to have a relationship with
men but I cannot because of this issue.
“It is a very embarrassing one. How do you
explain to a man that you have both organs,
which man will stand such a situation?
“However, I believe that God will not let me
waste away like this. I believe that Nigerians
will listen to my case and plea and come to
my assistance. I pray that God will touch their
hearts to come to my rescue.
“Who do I run to, where will my help come
from?
“Doctors have told me that I’m 85 per cent
woman.
I need the help of Nigerians to come
out of my nasty condition, I plead with them to
help me raise some money for an operation to
correct my condition.”
This saddening news is coming following a
recent confession by the vice president of
the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Seyi
Akinwunmi, who has raised alarm over the
level of lesbianism in female football in
Nigeria, which he says is hampering its
development.
The VP was speaking in Ibadan over the
weekend during a sports personality
programme, Hot Seat, organised by the Oyo
State Chapter of the Sports Writers
Association of Nigeria.
The sports personality suggested a total
overhaul of the women’s football system in
Nigeria in order to attract more interest in
the sport in the country.
Akinwunmi also suggested that he has
waged war on lesbianism in female football
in the past which has won him few friends.
