He always acted like a little girl even as a boy as little as age 4. Same way, depression is a mental illness, gender dysphoria is real. To me, he is a proof that some people are born with a twisted condition in their genes that make them believe they are the opposite sex. Science would have answers but of cos Nigerians would say something different. I choose to remember Olisa for his kind and sweet nature. May his soul rest in peace.
