Toke Makinwa Reveals Why She Wants to Remarry
Nollywood star Toke Makinwa has opened up about her desire to give marriage another shot, describing it as one of the most beautiful institutions despite its many challenges.
In a conversation with British-Nigerian media personality Madame Joyce during a podcast interview, Toke reflected on her past experiences and shared her thoughts on love, relationships, and her hopes for the future.
The 40-year-old actress, who was previously married to businessman Maje Ayida, spoke openly about the highs and lows of her first marriage, which ended in 2017 after three years.
Toke explained how marriage can sometimes feel like the bond between siblings—exciting at first, but gradually tested by everyday challenges.
She humorously recalled moments from her married life, saying there were days she couldn’t wait to share her experiences with her then-husband, while on other days, she felt trapped and questioned her life choices.
Despite the difficulties she faced, Toke remains optimistic about love and the possibility of walking down the aisle again.
She stated that she still holds marriage in high regard and hopes to remarry someday, though she is in no rush.
“It hasn’t happened yet. I’m not ruling it out,” she shared, adding that she believes timing is everything and trusts that it will happen when the moment is right.
Toke’s comments also addressed misconceptions about her views on men, as some people have labeled her a feminist who criticizes men.
She clarified that her experiences have shaped her perspective, but they haven’t diminished her belief in the value of companionship and commitment.
The actress also took the opportunity to address recent rumors about her personal life.
Reports had surfaced suggesting she secretly tied the knot with her rumored longtime partner, Farouk Umar.
However, Toke dismissed these claims, describing Farouk as her “bestie” and clarifying that the supposed wedding was actually a thanksgiving event.
Nigerian actress Patience Ozokwor has spoken about parenting and shared advice with parents who overprotect and shield their children from the hardships of the real world.
The actress explained that excessive protection may not help children, as they may not learn how to cope with or adjust to life’s challenges. She reflected on her own approach to parenting and said “The fastest way to ruin a child’s life is to say you don’t want them to suffer the way you did.”
She added “When you’re gone, they may start fighting over your property. I told my son, ‘My house isn’t yours. Go and work for your own.’”
Priscilla Ojo and her husband, Juma Jux, have barred actress Lizzy Anjorin from posting about their son or about them on social media.
The couple filed the matter in court, and an interim order has officially been granted restraining the actress from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of their son on social media platforms.
The order also restrains Anjorin from publishing or broadcasting content concerning the couple on her social media platforms.
It can be noted that the actress and Priscilla’s mother, Iyabo Ojo, have been in a public dispute, and it appears the situation remains quite serious.
Former BBNaija housemate Tochi has shared relatable advice with his fellow ex-housemates, urging them to build their lives beyond the focus on celebrity.
He advised them to develop real careers and businesses, noting that not everyone may succeed solely from the fame gained from the reality show.
Tochi said “Pack celebrity nonsense and hustle. Not everyone is destined to make it from the show.”
He shared a relatable insight, noting that not everyone will become successful through the show and that ex-housemates should avoid getting lost in fame, as fame may eventually fade.
