Media personality and actress Toke Makinwa has openly addressed and challenged the widespread perception that she holds negative feelings towards men and marriage.
In a recent statement, the on-air personality clarified her stance, emphasizing that she is, in fact, a strong proponent of marriage. She expressed that she thoroughly enjoyed her time as a married woman and continues to believe in the institution of marriage, countering the common narrative that she is against it.
Makinwa went on to reflect on the values of today’s generation, noting that there seems to be a lack of appreciation for people and meaningful commitments. She expressed concern that if these issues are not addressed, more individuals may choose to live a peaceful life alone rather than pursue occasional happiness in relationships that lack depth and genuine connection.
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.”
