Actress Bimbo Akintola Says Feminism Is Toxic

Veteran Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has said that she does not want to have anything to do with feminism because of its toxicity.

In a recent interview with Premium Times, Akintola said that her passion for the girl-child and women in general does not make her a feminist but a humanist.

According to her, caring for humans irrespective of gender makes one a humanist.

She, however, noted that her niche is the women and girl child because there is so much to do in that aspect.

“My passion for the girl-child and the women does not make me a feminist; I am a humanist,” she said.

“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.”
