As a Nigerian kid, the first step to achieving your freedom is rebelling against your parents unapologetically. Wage war continuously until you break them.

You are delving into dangerous territory my guy
All my years in Nigeria, I never had to doubt if a woman was really a “she” until I started traveling Europe/America.
You can meet a beautiful lady and start a conversation, only to later realize that under all that makeup, hair, and wig is a man just like you. 😩
