The popular media personality Toke Makinwa reflected back on her rough marriage and divorce at her birthday Thanksgiving celebration.
In 2014, Toke tied the knot with her lifelong partner, Maje Ayida. But accusations of adultery in 2015 put an end to their marriage, and they divorced in 2017.
The well-known figure in the media thanked God on the occasion for providing her the courage to face the difficulties.
The 39-year-old OAP said how the day she filed for divorce felt like the day she would “die.” Toke also expressed gratitude to her friends for supporting her throughout that trying time.
“Jesus you have comforted me when friends left me. Jesus you saw me through a divorce. When I thought I was going to die, when I did not know if I was going to wake up the next day, somehow you held me together. Even when I showed a frail faith, you knew I was not frail. Somehow you made me a tiger. You are the one that liveth. You are the one that will never fail,” she said.
“I thank God for all my friends here. I thank God that I am not looking out to look for you guys I am looking up. I have not been the best of fried for you guys but somehow you see something and I am grateful.”

There were rumours on social media that the media personality secretly married Farouk Umar. This was after a video of the duo sharing lovey-dovey moments went viral.
