Nigerians have taken to social media to comment on a trending video showing some Muslim clerics praying at the housewarming of popular cross-dresser, Bobrisky.
In the video from the event on Sunday, Bobrisky was seated and fully clad in female Yoruba traditional attire, surrounded by Muslim clerics who sat on the floor and offered Islamic prayers.
The video has since sparked different reactions from a cross-section of Nigeria.

When it comes to RELIGION, Nigerians f¡ght for God but when it comes to fighting for their RIGHT, they leave it for God to fight for them.

Let it be known that the action of these "Alfas" does not represent Islam and Muslims. https://t.co/n3eul8ScNl

Islam expressly forbids men who imitate women and vice versa. This is a non debatable position. Should they pray for him? Yes! But not when he is dressed up as a woman. This Alfas are just about their pockets these days. https://t.co/SJnl7jNvFv

What the Alfas did was completely unislamic but must it be associated with the Yorubas as if they are all like that?
Bad people are everywhere irrespective of Tribe of religion. https://t.co/2qKWJV7Tt6

Fr, there should be a body that regulates and issues licenses to these Alfas to practice.
One random Mf will finish from preparatory Islamic school and start parading himself as an Alfa. We dn too water down this Alfa label, wlh. https://t.co/9R5eG771hj

The fact that amongst all the religions around the world, Islam has a very strict capital punishment for anyone that practice magic; guess what, the communities that practice magic most today, are muslim communities.
Alfas now help lazy youths that has refused to be useful.
