#IntersectMay2025
In a country where trans identity is criminalised and stigma runs deep, a trans woman’s effort to secure housing reveals the daily barriers faced by Nigeria’s LGBTQ+ community.
We go #behindthestory with @prosper_dave_ on this week’s #IntersectMay2025 coverage on trans women and housing in Lagos state.

🧵The economic marginalisation of trans people in Nigeria, compounded by the lack of legal protections, means that housing and employment discrimination remain pervasive.

Queer communities helped shape Lagos's underground party scene. Now, as alté culture moves into the mainstream, the people who built it are being pushed to the margins - again.
This week on #IntersectMay2025, we chat with @kemivsthepeople on the article “It's incredibly frustrating": Queer Lagosians made alté cool. Now they're being pushed out.”
Read new article on our website and turn sound on to listen to the full audio.

Artists like DRB LasGidi, Ajebutter22, and Show Dem Camp (SDC) pioneered the genre, blending R&B, soul, rap, and dancehall to create an eclectic and boundary-pushing sound that defied convention.

While Afrobeats celebrates high-energy sounds and conventional expressions of Nigerian identity, alté—short for “alternative”—carved a niche for nonconformity and personal freedom. (3/5)
#IntersectMay2025 #QueerIdentity #Culture
The alté movement, which emerged in the late 2000s as a response to Afrobeats’ dominance in Nigerian pop culture.(2/5)
#IntersectMay2025 #QueerIdentity #Culture
🧵For decades, LGBTQ+ Nigerians have used fashion, music, and art as tools of both survival and self-expression. The shared emphasis on individuality created a natural overlap between the queer and Alté scenes in Lagos’s creative underground. (1/5)
