HIS KITO STORY (EDITION 20)

HIS KITO STORY (EDITION 20)

I’ve been an avid reader of this blog for quite some time now, although I’ve never commented, primarily because I’m not really a ‘community’ person. My main draw here is the kito stories. These stories reinforce in my mind the thought that gay people are really having it hard out here. When friends of mine talk about their kito experiences, I always keep silent, because in my mind, their stories make me contemplate my funny-yet-not-so-funny kito story.

I was 14 and in SS3, in a private secondary school in Port Harcourt. For the most part of my life, I’ve always known I am gay. I was a little effeminate. Okay, not little – a LOT effeminate. Oh, and I was really fat and really dark. In those days, I had no idea what a toner was. (lol)

So as you’ve probably guessed, I was constantly bullied and made fun of. My secondary school life was quite simply horrific and terrible; absolutely no fond memories there.

I had no friends, and I knew nothing about being gay. (This was like 2008, and there was no ‘Glee’ then) The closest thing I had then to a gay representation was Andrew Van De Kamp, the gay son on Desperate Housewives.

My secondary school was a day school. So my life was basically from the classroom back home. The driver always picked me up. I was sort of an overly-protected child. We were not rich, but my parents would go limbless rather than see their children not receive the best. And for this, I sought to pay them back by being one of the best students in school, always coming home with the best grades. As if my life in school wasn’t already miserable, my academic brilliance gave everyone another reason to hate me.

My family stayed in Borokiri then. And there was this guy (There’s always a guy). He was about twenty. My drive home usually took me past his house. And almost every time, I’d find him sitting outside and staring idly at the human and vehicular traffic passing by.

I found him attractive. And one day, I mined the courage to wave at him as the driver steered the car past him. He waved back. The response made me very excited. Our waving continued for weeks, and then one day, he made a gesture with his hands, signaling for me to come back to see him. I was a bit discouraged, because getting back to him would be a problem; my parents didn’t let us go out because the neighbourhood was quite ghetto.

But the Fates must have wanted my meet with the guy to happen, because when I got home, I met only my elder cousin at home. I told her I wanted to run a little errand outside, to buy credit to call my mother with, that it was an emergency. She nodded her okay.

The trek back to the guy’s house was about twenty minutes long. I got there and he said hey. I couldn’t even talk. He proceeded to ask me my name and details. Instinctually, perhaps driven by years of distrust in the humanity of people around me, I lied to him about my name. I told him my name was John. He told me his name was Ebi.

As he spoke to me, I couldn’t believe what was happening. This guy was so hot, like hotter than the Sahara, and there I was, a fat kid (real fat), and black and just anyhow and really just a mess. And he was talking to me. We had an irrelevant discussion. Then he took my number. And I went back home. When he called, I wanted to faint. It was the good old midnight call, and we chatted until 3am, mostly inane stuff.

Fast forward to six weeks later, on a sweet Saturday evening, I received a message from him: ‘Can you come to my house?’ My parents were not around, so of course, yes, I could certainly go to his house. I put on my slippers, a shirt, and my shorts – in that order. And I got stepping.

I got to his house. This was the first time I would be entering inside his house. In all the time we’d been getting acquainted, we always stood outside.

Inside his bedroom, we talked for about thirty minutes. And the next thing I knew, he leaned over and kissed me. I was instantly enraptured. My body was set ablaze by the touch of his lips. This was my first gay kiss – well, my first kiss really. And I was over the moon. He proceeded to tell me that he liked me very much, and that he wanted to have sex with me.

Okay, what is sex again? I thought to myself. Hmm sex. I was reluctant. My first sexual encounter was when I was seven, with a neighbourhood little girl. It was a ‘mummy and daddy’ game gone wrong, and it was a mess, and I was laughing all through.

Ebi began to pull off all my clothes, and soon, I was stark naked and very erect before him. Then he told me to give him a minute, that he was going to lock the parlour door. He left and closed the bedroom door behind him. I was too dazed with desire that I didn’t find it curious that he left the room with my clothes. Then I heard a click – of the bedroom door getting locked.

And through the door, his next words were: “Come, small gay, wetin be that your name again? Your own don finish today!”

My heart turned to stone as I stared in shock at the door. Subconsciously, I found myself being grateful that he hadn’t called me a fag though. Amazingly though, I didn’t freak out. I kept quiet and began looking around the room as he raged on. He paused to make a few calls to his cronies, telling them he had captured a “small gay” and that they should come over and that one of them should bring his camera phone.

As he was making his calls, I saw his clothes and calmly squeezed my fat frame into a shirt and shorts that marginally fit me. I was very calm. My heart was beating fast, but in the process was pumping a stream of icy water through my veins. I’d been bullied my whole life, for being fat, for being effeminate, and for being smart. But I wasn’t about to let myself be bullied for being gay. Never. I would not cry. I would not fret.

When Ebi noticed that everywhere was awfully quiet, he started shouting, “Come, small gay, you don die?” And then he unlocked the door and opened it.

That was my chance. Like a fat ballerina, I ran forward and slammed into him with all my weight the moment he opened the door. He fell to the ground, and before he could stand, I was in the parlour. But the wicked beast had locked the door and the metal burglary proof. He was laughing as he came after me, saying, “Where you dey run go?” I looked at the window; it was one of those sliding windows, and it was not open. Till today, I do not know what possessed me to do what I did. In a split second, I lifted myself clean off my feet and propelled my body toward the window. I crashed through, glass flying everywhere and fell on the ground on the other side. I was now outside, and without looking to see if I’d sustained any injuries, I ran for the gate, while he struggled to open the door. He couldn’t open the door fast enough, so he made for the window, yelling at his dog to get me.

Of course, the dog came galloping for me, barking furiously. I turned back and first saw his face at the window, and then the dog. And in that moment, I felt like I was staring at two devils. I didn’t run from the dog. Anger and hate were pounding through my veins too much for me to run. Instead I waited until the animal was close to me, and I let fly with my leg, giving it a savage kick upside the head. It promptly fell to the ground, and began writhing and whining in pain.

Then I fled from the house. Luckily, bikes were still a thing in Port Harcourt then. I hopped on the first one I saw and made my way home. It was when I was changing into my own clothes that I realised that my phone was not with me. I couldn’t remember if I’d had it with me and it fell when I took my giant leap through the window or if they’d been with my clothes that he seized. However, it was locked with a code and I was ready to let it go. The highest penalty for the loss would be my dad shouting and frowning at me for the next one week.

Then I looked into the mirror in my room. I stared at my fat nerdy self, and I said to myself: “No, no, no…” I wasn’t going to let that be. So I wrapped Ebi’s clothes in a bag. I came out of my house, hopped on another bike and went back to his house.

On getting there, I saw about five people, all guys in their late teens and early twenties, standing around before the house. There was no flinch to my body and no fear in my eyes as I walked up to him and handed him his clothes, and told him I wanted my phone back. At first, he stared me, surprised by my audacity. When he made as though to slap me, I told him he should try it, and he would go to jail that night. That was an empty threat, but my acting was splendid, and he couldn’t call my bluff. So instead of striking me, he began shouting, “Small fag, small fag…” and saying he would kill me and nothing would happen.

An elderly woman who was passing by stopped to ask what was going on. I dived in first with my story, about how I was merely walking past and these guys stopped me, harassed me and took my phone. Outraged, she began shouting at them, demanded for the phone, and handed it to me once Ebi relinquished it to her. In the next second, I was on yet another bike (thank God for bikes) and headed straight to my house.

That year, I graduated from secondary school and gained admission to the university to study Law. By the time I came home for my first vacation, we had moved out of that area. Six years later, now aged twenty-one, a barrister and solicitor of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, hot, fierce and taking no bullshit from anyone, with a hot career and a hot boyfriend, I decided to drive down to Borokiri. To Ebi’s house.

I got there, and to my surprise, he was sitting outside, the same man who’d been twenty, sitting outside his house and watching idly as the traffic went by. He didn’t even recognise me when I said hi. I stared at him and began wishing for a number of things. I wished I’d told him I was that fat, black boy who he’d tried to victimize. I wished he’d heard me out and then told me how sorry he was, and how he was just stupid and young, and that all he wanted was the phone and some money because he was broke. I wished I’d laughed and told him how my life was too successful and busy for me to dwell on the past.

I wished all these had happened as I got back into my car and drove away from him.

      Forgive me @Obatala, if I didn’t know better, I would say u were throwing shade with ur ” i put on my slippers , a shirt , and my shorts – in that order. I really loved this part of your story.”.

      I read that part of the story again to be really sure and only found “.As he was making his calls, I saw his clothes and calmly squeezed my fat frame into a shirt and shorts that marginally fit me. ”

      This is a positive story, what’s the point in trying to take away from it?

      For the sake of those who don’t know, u can wear a slippers then “shorts” afterwards. Shorts! not trousers. unless u are a extra tight shorts wearing man, I think its quite possible.

      Like I said, I’m not sure if u were trying to throw shade. If not, pardon my rant, but if u were, #WeakShade.

    Out of all the kito stories I’ve read so far this has to be the less traumatising. The rest always ended horrific. I am a Namibian, a friend send the link to this blog a month ago and I’ve been an avid reader since then. I love the kito stories because we do stupid stuff that could get us in danger because we are all seeking for love and validation. There is barely any blog or postings about kito stories in Namibia so I find this blog informative.

    Wow! For once the gay man is not the helpless vulnerable victim! This story gave me so much joy! I can almost see Ebi’s life unfold before us all; he’s about 27 now, he probably has a kid or two with zero career or business prospects;in a few years time, he’ll be well into his 30s totally unemployable and hard to train in any skill or business. He’ll spend his days sitting idly in front of his father’s house with a heart full of bitterness and hate, meanwhile he’ll have a few more kids perhaps make things more permanent with one of his numerous women and then proceed to breed like a pair of rabbits and thereby perpetuating the hard-to-break cycle of grinding poverty. You see; a lot of them kito wearers are nothing but opportunistic criminals and thugs who frequently end up like most criminals do: full of regret! ***tongue out @Ebi and all his fellow kito wearers***

    Ladies and Gentlemen, this right here, is how you show u are a BB (Boss Bitch)

    The most inspiring thing about this story, isn’t just how he escaped/survived then went on to triumph in life, but how he channel all his insecurities and flaws and used it as a spring board to fight his way out of the situation and go on to be the best he could be presently, flaw and all. For that my friend, I salute you, I salute u courage.

    I swear this played out like an action flick in my mind. An action film that did not just entertain but did well to educate its audience as well.

    This is the best Kito story i have read!! I laughed so hard especially the part where you kicked the dog. Lol! The best form of revenge is to be successful, oh and losing some weight and toning also helps too! Hateful people are unhappy and frustrated people, and that’s why they remain stagnant. Which probably explains why homophobic ppl are often poor and struggling, unexposed and unable to feed sufficiently.

    Great piece. Very inspiring.

    I was about to be surprised that there was no mention of “internalized homophobia” in the comment section till I noticed someone is MIA.

    The Ebi guy actually initiated the kiss … He is probably gay and fighting with that our dear popular phrase.

    And sitting outside staring idly in front of his father’s house six years after …. Oluwatobiloba!!!

        Hi Keredim,

        The decision making across the kito victims is similar. Why do they rush into sexual situations with victims?Why are they so unwilling to blame their captors? What’s the rationale?

        Also who’s Angel Gabriel?

          Yes I agree, the stories are kinda monotonous (bar this action packed one) and the trigger is the same lack of self control. But this happens when raging hormones meets a forbidden act. In most cases it is due to being young and naive and being lured into a comfortable position.

          That doesn’t mean the kito victims have issues beyond their homosexuality. (And i am not going to read you for implying that homosexuality is an “issue”).

          You have not mentioned that the villains spend time grooming their victims and winning their confidence. This is what con-artists do.

          Regarding Angel Gabriel. Francis was alluding to Gad and his right wing puritanical views.(Remember him?)

          Somehow, Francis is beginning to see the Gad in you.

            Lack of self – control is an issue, in my opinion. a 14 year old is a minor and should not be fucking strangers who are much older.

            Of course the kito culprits should be punished – but their victims are always reluctant to help track down the culprits. I don’t know why that is.

            Could you explain why you think my views are right -wing? As far as I know avoiding sex as a minor is not related to economic distribution.

              You act as though you’ve never done anything ridiculous in your life before. We are humans and bound to fuck up royally at some point in life. The koko is learning from those fuck ups and avoiding them in the future.

            Chuck,

            1) Yes, a 14 year old is minor….LEGALLY, but not Biologically. And ain’t no law gonna quell them hormones.

            2) You don’t know why Kito victims are reluctant to help track down culprits? May I respectfully ask which country you reside in?

            3) Right-wing view. Your comment about 14 year old being a minor is a bit right wing. Such views do not have to made in an economic setting to be right wing
            (I also said Puritanical – not sure why you didn’t pick that up)

          • chuck
            August 21, 01:49 Reply

            1. I think that the law gets the minority age right, and that it’s fair to prevent minors from fuckibg older people. Minors are vulnerable. Are you for legalising/ decriminalising sex with minors? If so I’d like to hear your thoughts.

            2. There are ways to divulge numbers, locations, Facebook profiles etc without divulging your own identity. The victims haven’t said they are not doing it because they fear retaliation: they’ve often said they’ve moved on. That’s what surprises me. If someone assaulted me I would want punishment even after I moved on.

            3. I am sure we are not using right wing to mean the same thing. I do not believe in religions so I do not hold religious views (puritanical or otherwise). Historically left wing governments(socialist, social democratic, etc) have championed minority and child protections, so I’d have to ask you to clarify what you mean by right wing.

              For Francis and Brian,

              I’ve come across your sentiments before. The short answer is that I do not believe that an action is proper because it happens often. Many people fuck up. But a fuck up is still, by it’s very name, a fuckup.

              I don’t believe in Christianity so heaven/hell aren’t real. Good luck.

              I have the high road – I did not fuck strange adults as a minor. I don’t rush to fuck strangers. But expecting only people who, like me, have not fucked up, to be the only ones that can talk about fuckups is wrong. It’s an ad hominem fallacy. Judge arguments on the strengths of their claims, premises, and supporting evidence.

                No one here is endorsing fuckups or peadophilia. You just dey turn matter upside down unnecessarily. Nna best of luck living in your cloud where everyone is supposed to be above fuckups.

                Reminds of me of an episode of I Am Cait where awon long time transgenders confronted Caitlyn due to her rigid views that sex work should never be any option. The world isn’t black and white at all.

              Different people with different temperaments. Not everyone is built to avenge a wrongdoing. Some people just want to move on and put said ugliness behind them. Surely, you’re advanced enough to know that.

            Chuck.

            1) I am not endorsing under aged sex. I am saying (and I think most people picked up on it) at that age the average child is sexually curious and tends to go out and experiment. We all had urges at that age and most of us fooled around to various degrees. Yes it was illegal but we did it and if we got caught we were not hauled off to jail.

            2) I asked you respectfully to tell me where you live? You didn’t answer. If sounds to me that you don’t live in Nigeria or sometimes you come across as not being on this planet.
            3) right wing = “conservative” “traditionalist”
            4) you need to chilax. Like Francis said, not everything is black or white. Have some empathy.

            I live in Lagos. I’d assumed the question was rhetorical, since it involved references to living in clouds or on inhabitable planets.

            If you think the action was wrong too, then why do you disagree with me for calling it out? I don’t defend myself when I do things that I know are wrong. This might be a lifestyle difference, if so I guess we are just living by different rules.

            As PP quoted, I’ve been empathetic. I’ve put myself in the shoes of the victims. I know what I would do in these situations. It would involve taking (anonymous, discreet) steps to get the kitoers punished.

            P.S. PP you can’t have it both ways – either we can say what we would do differently or we do not recognize that people approach these issues differently. people are either different and can say what would be different for them, or we are all judged by the same rules.

            Finally, I guess all “progressive” ideas eventually become conservative. It would be interesting to sketch out where the line is these days.

            Chuck if you read my comments carefully I called you out on your LAST sentence about Kito victims having other issues other than homosexuality.

            That sentence in my opinion, is not “progressive”. It is repressive. You may not have religious beliefs but there was some pontification and disdain in that sentence. This is why I took umbrage.

                Oh and @Chuk, do you have a boyfriend in your life right now?
                I could really use a non-hoe in my life right now, since I seem to be surrounded with only only them. And its depressing as hell, knowing you might just be the last of your kind, an endangered specie. I agree with everything you said.
                But sometimes, you, like me may come off as too holistic, which prevents people from seeing the real truth and sense in what you’re saying. So, please know how to make amends. If anyone ever attempts to Kito me, I’ll become their worst nightmare. I often wonder why Kito victims mostly turn to cowards afterwards. Its highly infuriating.

    All the laughter I saved for Christmas has been spent. Wow what a great piece. Rare courage, rarer calm and innovativeness in the face of storm. You took all the bullying you received and channeled it into getting free. I am so happy for you. The comments tho, it is very true that people who spend time planning on how to bring others down rarely go up in life. I laughed so hard at what some people think has happened to ebi. I know an ebi in borokiri who fits this description and of course he is tattered hustler in his 30 ‘s with no skill except binge smoking on weed and other things. Because of some semblance of fine face and body he has he’s being fucked for pay btw N500-N1500 sometimes for free. Maybe it’s the same person I know I’m wishing it is he. Oh my goodness I need to make calls and confirm this Pronto bye!!!!!!!
