to being openly punished and humiliated by my family relatives and feared that my cultural clan in Edo,Nigeria will make me insane because i am a bisexual. Since March, 2009 i have been a bisexual and i told a close relative about my current sexual position but he has accused me strongly on the phone and vowed with other family relatives in line with our culture that it is a taboo and i shall be subjected to curses and threatened i will be put to be insane for being a bisexual. Currently i fear returning home after i last visited in 2008 Christmas. I am a Masters student(writing my final thesis on gender representation)temporarily residing in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. I am Psychologically imbalanced and am on the verge of terminating my MA studies and fear that my residency here expires in September,2010.I am grip with fear to return home.I fear to be insane especially.
North Cyprus is politically an unrecognized country and not part of the EU competent countries where i may find refuge.I dont want to be a destitute here after my studies but I am scared and dread returning home. I am an Orphan and the only child of my Late parents. the end of me implies the end of my father's generation to come. I dont want to change my sexual position however.
