Former Super Falcons player Iyabo Abade, now a man and renamed James Johnson, has begged the Nigeria Football Federation to assist him with the payment of N69.7m to facilitate a corrective surgery that will enable him bear children.
Johnson, a confirmed hermaphrodite, was a member of the Falcons from 1997 to 2000 and successfully underwent a sex change operation in the United States in 2004 courtesy of then Minister, Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
This came after a series of failed attempts to correct the abnormality that led to his being dropped from the women’s national team.
A hermaphrodite is a person or animal with both male and female organs. While it is common with animals, it is rare in human beings.
