Meet The First Cross Dresser Before Bobrisky, Area Scatter

When it comes to cross dressing in Nigeria, the name, “Bobrisky” comes to one’s mind. This is because, the Yoruba born bleaching expert has carved a niche for himself, thereby making a shadow of the ones before him .

Not many know, there was a cross dresser named Area Scatter who roamed the streets of 1970s Eastern Nigeria, playing melodic music with his ornamental thumb piano, singing in a rich, smooth voice and moving his body in an extraordinary yet fascinating manner.

Before the likes of Bobrisky where pictured in mainstream media, Area scatter, was the first and one of the few Nigerian transvestites to first have appeared in mainstream media.

According to reports, Area Scatter was a civil servant in the old days, but suddenly  disappeared into the wilderness at some point during the years of the war, only to re-emerge 7 months and 7 days later, as a beautifully adorned woman.

He claimed that during this period, the gods equipped him with uncanny powers, which he used to enhance his musical talent and become more feminine.

A short clip shared on social media pictured Area Scatter performing for a local ruler and a crowd who seems to be intrigued but entertained.
