Toke Makinwa blasts troll who mocked her for being unmarried

65

Actress and media personality Toke Makinwa recently had a conversation with a social media user who made a joke about her marital status.

The conversation began when Toke wrote a recent post discussing the pressures she, as a single woman, felt.

It was noted on social media by Nelson Oluu that Toke had gone from being single to being unmarried.

You have passed the single era, you are now unmarried,” he stated

Toke in reaction, expressed her confidence in her future and assuring the troll that he will witness her transformation into a lawfully wedded wife.

She wrote,

“God will do my own and you’ll be alive to congratulate me. Happy Sunday o”.

In a subsequent tweet, Toke stated that she had considered responding more strongly but chose to take the high road, opting for a message of love and light instead.

“If I curse am now, you’ll say I’m mean. Love n light,” she added.
In a different story, Toke Makinwa voiced concerns about approaching her 40th birthday, an important milestone in her life.
She talked about her anxiety and a conversation she had with D’Banj in a recent episode of her programme, Toke Moments. D’Banj suggested she avoid celebrating her 40th birthday because of pressures from the industry and the possibility of being “retired” because of her advanced age.

 

“I’m turning a very big age this year and I’m so nervous. I am so nervous. At first, I started the year by saying I didn’t want to do anything. D’Banj, I’m going to call him out. D’Banj called me and said “Don’t do birthday o! You know this industry. Did I do my birthday? Did Don Jazzy celebrate his birthday? Who shouted when they were 40? Don’t do any birthday o! They will retire you.” I was like “Dapo, what do you mean?”

“When I fill forms these days, you know when we were so excited to fill between 18 and 25, we tick fast. Between like 25 and 35, you tick. After 35, it’s like is this answer required?”
