She saidwathe feminism idea is a toxic one.
She explained:
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.”
