IK Ogbonna, a Nollywood actor, sparked outrage online after commenting on a video of a father meeting his transgender son.
The father’s reaction to meeting his son for the first time since transitioning to a woman was captured in the video.
The father burst into tears when he saw his transgender son walk onto the stage dressed as a lovely lady.
“I’m just feeling a sense of loss, as if he’s gone… I’m not sure how to take him as a girl. And it appears that something went wrong somewhere.” He said this while trying hard not to cry.

“Society won… over religious and cultural values. Parents don’t have to accept certain things. Something’s would never stick as normal”.
However, different interpretations were drawn by internet users from the actor’s statement.
While some reasoned that he spoke against it, others were quick to cast stones at him and question his sexuality.
