Ik Ogbonna receives backlash over comment on transgender video

Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has elicited reactions on social media following his comment on a video of a father meeting his transgender daughter.

The video showed a man who was in tears as his son, who is now a lady, walked up to him. The man, who was obviously not happy with the change, continually asked his child, “Why?”

Reacting to the video, Ogbonna wrote, “Society won… over religious and cultural values. Parents don’t have to accept certain things. Somethings would never stick as normal.”
