Otas Evbuomwan Faces Backlash Over Alleged Bigoted Posts Targeting Yoruba Women

Otas Evbuomwan Faces Backlash Over Alleged Bigoted Posts Targeting Yoruba Women — 1 of 18
1 / 18

I’ve followed Otas Evbuomwan, Risevest’s US Operations Lead, since 2013. She claims to fight bigotry, but I’ve saved dozens of her posts where she disparages Yoruba women. She’s reportedly labeled us “animals” and even injected colourism into her remarks. Now, top Yoruba feminists are speaking out. They want skit makers and actors to drop these harmful stereotypes. We aren’t loose, dirty, or carriers of infection. We’re educated, fashion-forward, and proud of our heritage. We care about our health and our culture. My question is simple: what have we done to deserve this? Yoruba women, know who you call your friends!

What's driving Otas Evbuomwan to publish such harsh comments about Yoruba women when she claims to oppose bigotry?

I share your confusion; it seems contradictory for someone opposing bigotry to post such harsh remarks.

Perhaps calling it hypocrisy is premature; context could reveal more nuance in her position.

It's striking that someone leading US operations at Risevest would make remarks this derogatory, undermining her public stance against prejudice.

I feel say context dey miss before we condemn her completely; social media posts alone no always tell full story.

A good first step is to compile all alleged posts and encourage an independent review into her actions before drawing conclusions.
