“I want to become a man.” Nigerian hermaphrodite reaches out for help
29-year-old Oluwaseun Samuel Fajilade, an indigene of Ekiti State, and born with both male and female sexual organs, has reached out to Simon Ateba of www.simonateba.com through an NGO, Divine Favour Foundation, for help. He would love to be operated upon to keep his male organ only.
Between the ages of 12 and 15, he began to grow breasts but he doesn’t menstruate, and so he sees himself as a man.

I remember one picture that was floating around recently of a hermaphrodite that was “cured” by TB Joshua. Some people kept typing Amen, thank God, Jesus is a miracle working God and all that. Shameless how we show our ignorance to the world.
