Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, has announced her decision not to associate herself with anything that has to do with feminism.
Speaking in a recent interview with PremiumTimes, Bimbo Akintola indicated that she doesn’t want to be part of feminism because it is too toxic.
she said, “My passion for the girl-child and the women does not make me a feminist; I am a humanist.
I don’t like this feminist idea because I think there’s a focus on this wing of feminism that is extreme. It’s t@xic. I don’t want to be part of that. I want us to realise that you care about humans if you say you are a humanist
That means every individual: boy, girl, woman, man; everybody. My niche is the women and the girl child because there is so much to do concerning this issue in Nigeria.”
Nigerians have also shared their thoughts on her commentary. See a few reactions below;
