First Nigeiran Transgender male (Ex-BSU student) in International Queen Pageant



If you were at Benue State University between 2000 - 2002, you will remember Sahara. Sahara walked around campus with a bag, tight pants, lip gloss, contact lens, high shoes but the only issue was Sahara was born a MAN and was known as Clifford/Oche then. Fast forward some 10 years later...Miss Sahara is now living fully as a woman and recently participated in the the Miss International Queen pageant.

The Miss International Queen Pagent is a pageant for transgenders from around the world to present their individual beauty and intelligence in a friendly atmosphere.

Clifford some years back
I remember the first time i met Clifford...i stared for what looked like 20 years! Sahara walked with grace...s/he was super creative when it came to runway shows. He used to teach girls to cat walk and all.....you just have to give it to him...he was good at being a woman.

A man acting as a woman was not so popular back in those days so you can imagine the reaction everyone had when they met him. Then, one day he just disappeared and a couple of years later.....Clifford was now Sahara and this time with boobs!!!!!

“transgender: a person, male or female, who dresses, behaves or presents themselves in a way that is different from their gender norm."
