I Expected Nigerian Feminists To Rally Behind Natasha Akpoti – Seun Kuti

Popular singer and activist, Seun Kuti has come out to share his stance on feminism.

He recently had his say during his recent Instagram livestream while speaking on the ongoing lawsuit between Mrs Unoma Akpabio, wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

According to him, feminism is often used as an excuse to fuel gender conflicts all across the world, rather than serve as a movement for genuine social change.

He added that with the way feminism is practiced in Nigeria, he expected a lot of women to be rallying in support of Mrs Akpoti by now.

His words, “When we talk about feminism in Nigeria, I feel like it’s just a means to divide us. Anything that can divide us, we just like to embrace it. We like gender wars in this country, tribal wars and other things that can divide us.

Feminism is just an excuse for people to engage in gender wars. If Nigerian women were real feminists, they would come behind this senator woman and call out our senate president.

I wanted to do a live session to talk about this Akpabio matter but I didn’t get the chance. Only for me to later see that the senator’s wife sued a woman for defaming her husband’s character. That was when I realised that if any young woman decides to fool with this women’s husband, she is the type that would beat the woman senseless. She won’t even face her husband or tell him anything, she would face the woman square on.”

WOW.
