Being intersex in Nigeria: I wanted to kill myself

A Nigerian intersex man says he thought that taking his own life would be "the best option".

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that his parents convinced him not to.

Intersex people are born with sex characteristics that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies.

In Nigeria, and across the world, they can face severe stigma.

He spoke to BBC Hausa's Halima Umar.
