• Rinu, in a tweet on Twitter, urged those in relationships who claim their ex is their best friend to stop deceiving themselves.

Rinu Oduala, a prominent Nigerian activist, has expressed the view that individuals cannot maintain a close friendship with their ex-partners while in a romantic relationship.

In a post on X, previously known as Twitter, Rinu urged those in relationships who refer to their exes as their best friends to reconsider their stance and avoid self-deception.

She wrote, “Your former sex partners can’t be your current friends or even your best friends if you are in a relationship. Can we stop deceiving ourselves this year??”

“Nothing like bestie if Una don knack before.”

Rinu has served on the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution regarding police brutality and was a key figure during the EndSars protests in Nigeria.
