Seun Kuti recently criticized Nigerian activist Aisha Yesufu, advising her to “liberate herself from her hijab” before attempting to advocate for the liberation of Nigerian women. This comment surfaced following Yesufu’s continuous vocal support for women’s rights and social justice. The exchange highlights tensions between varying perspectives on gender and cultural expressions within Nigeria’s activist circles.
Yesufu, a well-known figure in Nigerian activism, has often been at the forefront of human rights campaigns, including issues affecting women. Her choice to wear a hijab has previously sparked mixed reactions, but she consistently emphasizes her belief in personal freedom and social equity, irrespective of cultural dress choices.
