Toke Makinwa addresses narrative she dislikes men and marriage

Media personality and actress Toke Makinwa has spoken out against the widespread belief that she harbors negative feelings towards men andmarriage.

The on-air personality clarified that, despite the common narrative, she is actually a strong supporter of marriage and enjoyed being married.

However, she noted that today’s generation often lacks appreciation for people and meaningful commitments. If these issues aren’t addressed, she believes more people will choose a peaceful life alone over occasional happiness.

Her words: “Funny how the narrative out there is that I hate men or I’m a man basher etc. truth is I love marriage, I loved being married, I’m a huge advocate for marriage cos 2 is better than 1. The way this generation is set up though…..@@@@ We use people and value things. It should be the other way round. We used to Value people and things were meant to be used. Our generation is moving like everyone is replaceable, we stopped investing in people cos we all think we can find better Everyone moving like our material things and what society has made us think is real success is what we need to invest in. Way back it took a community to raise kids, not anymore, our walls are so high. We care more about what we put out, everyone is all about “I” and the few who are not get involved with those who are and it ends up being one sided. People picking their peace of mind over a collective Peace for all. It can’t werk Until we begin to fix it, sadly a lot of people will settle for life alone with peace over trying to exist in periodic happiness and disposable interaction. Thank you all for coming to my TedTalk… it’s been a while. Ok Bye”
