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 rapper Ruggedman steps out to criticize the term Afrobeats and states how many artists hide under that category.
In a recent interview, he shares his thoughts stating that people who are even with no talent hide under the name Afrobeats and it gets accepted because of that.
“I don’t like Afrobeats as an umbrella genre from every music coming out of Africa. That was a mistake. I didn’t liked it from the beginning but when I complained people accused me of being jealous or trying to gatekeep,” he said.
“It is the people in the UK who started this thing of tagging every African music Afrobeats. Nigerians love classicism. They just wanted to give it a name,” he said.
