“You Have No Business Getting Married in Your 20s” – Toke Makinwa Advises Young People
Renowned media personality Toke Makinwa recently opened up about her experiences in her 20s, sharing reflections on love, growth, and the valuable lessons she learned.
During an appearance on Cocktails and Takeaways, Toke revealed that much of her youth was consumed by a singular focus on a long-term relationship.
Looking back, she admits that period of her life felt limiting and lacked the self-discovery she now values.
Reflecting on that chapter, Toke said, “I don’t think I really enjoyed my 20s.
At the time, I didn’t fully know what I was doing because I was so deeply invested in just one man.
My entire 20s revolved around that one relationship.”
Although she cherishes the growth that came from those experiences, Toke emphasized how her perspective has shifted over the years.
She noted that her past decisions and the lessons that followed have been pivotal in shaping her current outlook on life and relationships.
“If I could turn back time, I might have made different choices,” she added.
“But I’m grateful for where I am today. Every experience has contributed to the woman I’ve become.”
Toke used her story as an opportunity to share advice with younger people, cautioning against rushing into serious commitments during their early years.
She encouraged them to prioritize personal growth and self-awareness.
“I always tell young people, especially women, that there’s no need to rush into marriage in your early or mid-20s.
Those years should be about figuring out who you are and building a foundation for your future. Knowing yourself first is key to building a healthy and fulfilling life.
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.
