She is well known
in Nollywood most especially in the Yoruba genre. This single mother,
who floated a foundation a while ago, Pinkies Foundations, Iyabo Ojo,
has been having issues with lesbians who have become a pain in the neck
for her.
When she was asked
what her reaction was on the Pinkie Foundation that’s believed to be a
group founded for lesbians she said “A lot of people had different
impressions about when we started, because of the name, the sexy Pink
Ladies.
So they thought it
was a lesbian group, but 80 percent of the women in the group are
married with kids. And I am not someone who supports lesbianism. I don’t
have a problem with those who practice it, it’s their choice, but I do
not believe in it because I don’t think it’s normal. So when people make
such accusation, I just laugh.
I read a paper
recently with the headline Iyabo Ojo in trouble over lesbian Party and I
laughed. I do not want to talk bad about lesbians but I am not someone
who supports it, and I don’t like them giving wrong impression about
what I do, because I don’t want lesbians coming to me, pinging me or
texting me and I have to start insulting or rebuffing them.
I have actually
done that. The media is actually sending the wrong message, when you
talk about my group being a lesbian group, because I do not support
lesbianism, I do not believe in it, I do not encourage it. I have not
been and never will I be part of that.”
On if she has a man
in her life, “Yes, I have a man in my life and I believe in the normal
way of life. I think it’s not normal, I think it’s mental dysfunction of
anybody who does that.
I don’t see it as
something that is right. I’m sorry if it sounds offensive to lesbians
but I do not appreciate it. When they do it, it’s their life. I don’t
condemn them for what they do, but I’m not a part of it.
Thanking fully, I’m
using this medium to say it out to lesbians, they should stop texting
me or pinging me, because I am not a lesbian and I do not appreciate it.
When they do that I would insult them, so they should please stop peddling all this rumors because it is not true,” she said.
