Nollywood actress says feminism is toxic

Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola has described feminism as toxic claiming she is more of a humanist rather than a feminist.

 

The veteran actress stood her ground in an exclusive interview in Lagos on Wednesday, May 18

 

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 toxic. 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.”
