Pharmacist Emmanuel Nwaolisa, a member and Christian worker at St. John’s Catholic Church, Iwofe Road Port-Harcourt, until his death pretended to be a female chorister in this popular church.
All through the years of his pretence, he changed his name from Emmanuel to Emmanuella Adaolisa. The name which he also bear on his Facebook page.
However, his real identity was discovered when he had an accident and subsequently died.
While dressing him up at the mortuary, it discovered that he has a male organ which prompted them the church members that brought him there.
“The corpse you deposited in our morgue is not a female as you claimed but a male,” the morgue attendant told the Church. On getting there, it was confirmed to be true!
Hear the gist from Chukwuka Gabriel Eseh who broke the news via his Facebook page. Credible News also confirmed the same.
He wrote; “What our clime has turned into.
A certain Emmanuel Nwaolisa, a Pharmacist, graduated from UNIPORT.(Emmanuella Adaolisa as facebook name.) Until the unthinkable happened on the 31st of January 2023, nobody knew he was transgender.
“This person started worshiping at St. John’s Catholic Church, Iwofe Road Port-Harcourt in November 2022.
“All along, she was putting on an engagement ring, and wearing all manner of female makeup, female clothing et’ al. She joined Choirs, climbing Alter at will.
“She had told people around her in the church that she’s from Ondo, she’s done her traditional marriage, and she’s now in her wedding classes at St. Johns Catholic Church.
“On that note, parishioners were going along well with her.
“On that fateful 31st of January, after the evening programme in the church, on her way home, she met her Waterloo.
“She was seen in a tricycle (Keke) inside a gutter, bleeding all around her face. After being there for a while with little or no rescue, the information got to the church choir members who went there to confirm the story to be true.
“There and then, she was taken to a military hospital around Rumuola PH. On getting there, she was confirmed dead on arrival (DOA).
“Furthermore, she was to be dressed by the mortuary attendants, it was there they discovered that she was a he.
“The mortuary attendants then called on the church choirmaster to interview him on the gender they deposited with them, the choirmaster responded that it was a female.
“But when he and his team was led to really confirm their position, low and behold, the choir team was bewildered by what they saw that they have been dealing with a man but not a woman as she claimed.
“Many other stories about him started surfacing from people that knew him before.”
Abel Atamenwan confirmed the story, adding that he knows the Church and where he died.
His said: “I know the Church very well, it’s on a popular junction Called St. John, Iwofe Road. I also know where he died.
“The story is true and everyone is left shocked about it. I think the whole show was heading to a serious scandal against the Church and so, God had to take control.
“The whole thing seemed like a plan by him and his buddy to manipulate the Church to do a gay wedding without knowing.
” I suspect that they were both gays who knew what they were doing and that, they would have probably both used the wedding certificate to fly abroad after the wedding as gay couple.
‘It would have been more easy for them to get sympathy visa in a very quick way, hence the manipulation.”
While some people found it difficulty to believe the story, Chinedu Ebo said Emmanuel was his classmate in the secondary school.
He said: “He is my class mate in secondary school.”
Udemeobong Alphonsus on his Facebook page further confirmed the incident.
He wrote: “Augusta Molokwu on her part, admired the beauty of this young man but quickly added that it was a pity.
She said: “Such a beautiful face! Woman voice, woman feelings, woman desires, yet not fully a woman! What a life!
Imagine not being able to declare your true self! Imagine knowing that you are going to be stigmatized and scorned.
A freak of nature!
“It will take a long long time before people like these are understood. If Mary Slessor did not come to stop the killing of slaves, hmmm.
“He needs sympathy, though dead. He lives in millions like him.
“Let’s thank our stars that we are created in the generally accepted way. We didn’t create ourselves neither did such people.”
Augusta Molokwu continued: “So so unfortunate… I feel for the family who have endured the metamorphosis and gradual transformation of their boy child turning to a woman. I can imagine the quarrels.
” The resentment by the family members. The silent treatment of the close friends. It is only a mother that can understand the pain.
“Imagine not seeing him again…
It doesn’t matter anymore!
A lot of people have secrets. He is not alone. There are others.
“Asiri was a bo”, according to a Yoruba prayer. Now I understand the gravity of such prayers. May he find peace in his resting place.”
