Every Nigerian school had one. The boy who walked wrong, talked wrong, sat wrong. The one who cried too easily, spoke too softly, avoided the rough games. You know exactly who this is. You probably remember his name.
In the first episode of A Peek Under the Rainbow, Cush examines the specific, sustained cruelty directed at effeminate boys and men in Nigeria — where it comes from, who participates in it, and what it quietly produces in everyone involved. Not just in the boy who was targeted, but in the boys who did the targeting, and the men they both became.
This is not a conversation about sexuality. It is a conversation about masculinity, fear, and what happens when a society decides that only one version of a man is allowed to exist.
