Dapo Adaralegbe, a former student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) who transformed into a female as Stephanie Rose got the attention of onlookers few days ago.
Dapo Adaralegbe transforms into Stephanie Rose
Although he (now she) made history as the first Nigerian to transform from male to female, Dapo cannot go a day without letting everyone know how he detests God and how he thinks God does not exist. A few days ago, she recently released her latest photographs looking completely fair in complexion as against her dark complexion when she was studying law in OAU.
Stephanie Rose, formerly known as Dapo Adaralegbe
She was expelled from the school in 2001 over what was called an identity crisis. Dapo has always been known to have the belief that he is a ‘woman trapped in a man’s body’. This was one of the things that made him relocate to the Netherlands after being expelled from OAU.
There he was operated on and his gender was changed from male to female. In an Interview he granted before he travelled abroad, he spoke about his life as a trans-sexual, how he is a woman trapped in a man’s body and his ordeal as a student of OAU.
“I was studying Law at the Obafemi Awolowo University, (OAU), Ife. I am of the 1995 set, but I had to leave school in 2001 because of pressures. People were too harsh on me; they did not understand me at all.
“When I was in school, the school authorities got to know that I slept with my fellow male students. There was also an incident when I had to be admitted in the hospital. I was bleeding from the anus and I had bad pile arising from sexual intercourse.
“the got to know the kind of person I was, they sent me to meet a Guidance Counselor, Professor Roger Makanjuola, who was the Vice Chancellor, who took care of me. You know he is a renowned Psychiatrist. He handled all issues relating to psychiatry with me.
“He said I was okay and that nothing was wrong with my preferences, sexual-wise. He said it was just because I lived in an environment that did not tolerate that kind of behavior. He recommended that I should meet another Guidance Counselor but I did not follow up. Even at that, there seems to be very little assistance one can get medically in Nigeria.
“After a time, I tried going back to school but they told me I have stayed too long away from the system. I applied to change over to University of Lagos (UNILAG) and OAU authorities promised to assist with my transcripts, but they did not send it early, that was how I lost the chance of changing to UNILAG. I eventually dropped out of school.”
“I know this will shock you but I started having sex at the age of six. I had this cousin of mine who used to bring his friend to our house. He was the first to make love to me.
“Since I was small, I realized that I had this feeling that I was a woman. I used to paint myself up and wear girls’ clothes. Nobody stopped or cautioned me. My mother later died when I was 11 years old. My father has other wives and no one particularly bothered about me. I am the last child of my mother, she had four of us,” Dapo reportedly said.
He said he intended to travel abroad and find true love, saying that all the Nigerians he had been with were only interested in sex with him.
“I told you I started having sex at the age of six, but no one in my family noticed the problem until I was 14 years old. My father is a Professor of Education. My mother was also a Professor in the same discipline. When my dad got to know, I think he was among the people who made Professor Makanjuola to examine me.
“The truth is that I had gone too far, and I don’t want to talk about my family in this issue. I have slept with a lot of people but my problem is that they were not faithful to me.
They were not committed; we just have sex and they go away.
