Iyabo Ojo changes NGO name to refute Lesbian stories

Yoruba actress Iyabo Ojo started a foundation 3 years ago called Sexy Pinky Ladies which caused some people to insinuate that the female members of the group were all lesbians hiding under the name of the foundation to carry out their activities.

To correct this negative impression, Iyabo Ojo says she had no choice but to change the NGO's name to Pinkies Foundation. In a recent chat with Encomium mag, the actress who is celebrating 3 years of running the NGO talked about the lesbian rumours and how she dealt with it...
"It really wasn't easy but I think it was my fault. I think the name we started with attracted all the controversies. When it was Sexy Pink Ladies, people were attaching a lot of things to it. That was why we had to rebrand and tell people it is a foundation. We are just being focused because the bad press was too much. Some members even had to opt out because the impression people had of us. This is understandable because up to 80% of us are married and it was causing some of them issues in their homes, so had to leave the group for the sake of their homes. Some remained and their spouses got to know what we do and they saw that it's just unfounded rumor and they supported us" she said.

I was hoping to see an explanation of what the "supposed NGO" was all about but i saw none. People are right to insinuate anything.So please Madam let the world know exactly what your NGO does.Who are you reaching out to,whats your focus,your go,objectives e.t.c

It's said traditionally of pink and blue that pink is for girls and blue is for boys. She shouldn't have changed the name. Let those who harbour prejudice wallow in their ignorance. In the Western world, pink is considered the gay colour. Why should that be a problem? In any case, that a woman is married to a man does not mean she could not be a practising lesbian, just as a man married to a woman could be a closet gay. Let's enjoy our businesses and lives and not be restricted by the prejudice of ignorant, bigoted minds.

She is doing an amazing job, I don't care if she is a lesbian or a hermaphrodite.... Whatever two consenting adults do in their private time is their private business and am sooo tired of societal conspiracy theory that states that every feminine foundation is either a prostitution or homosexual cartel ......Tired of them knocking women off..#cheezyjayne

Why are people's minds so corrupt that they think of evil at every little thing they see, that women founded a foundation doesn't give anyone the right to condemn and call them names. Meanwhile it takes a gayish mind to know who is a lesbian or gay. So check yourselves and Stop condemning people for no just course. Go get a life

Strange no one is commending them for their donations only talking about their sexuality. Keep up the good work, I hope you try to raise funds or donate to the aged in our society, they are always overlooked. What you do as per sexuality ain't my business or anybody's!!

Am really happy for her, she's making names :)

Blessing said...

I used to be a member of sexy pink ladies when it first started....and to the God whom I serve,it is not a lesbian group!!!! I left the group then for no negative reason. I left as I don't like social publicity and at that point it was beginning to get publicity....I say again to my God who made me, it is NOT a lesbian group...

Lesbianism has nothing to do with Tribe but as far as I am concerned, Olubukola Luro is a core Lesbian. I pity the Man that will take Ʊя Over-fingered Vagina and Gender sentimental Empty Brain to the Altar.

If she likes let her change the name to Straight Ladies foundation, It doesn't change the fact that the foundation is a Lesbian foundation and that the members are core Lesbians with senseless gender mentality.

...And Ms Linda this are the kind of things you Love with passion, how come you're not a member?

If you like swallow my comment.
