I don’t want to be a Feminist, It is too toxic — Actress Bimbo Akintola

Veteran Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, has said that she doesn’t want to be a feminist because it is toxic.

Speaking in a recent interview with PremiumTimes, 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.”
