Toke Makinwa’s Shocking Confession – ‘I’ll Marry Any Man, Even as His 5th Wife

In a revelation that has left critics and fans amazed, media personality, Toke Makinwa has declared that she’s willing to be somebody’s second, third, fourth, or even fifth wife.

The outspoken host made the unexpected admission during a new episode of her podcast, Toke Moments, which was posted on her Instagram page on Saturday.

With her trademark candour and teasing humor, Toke said, “At this point in my life, if I have an opportunity to get married again, whether as a second, third, fourth, or even fifth wife, I’ll grab it.” The comment has sparked a heated discussion, with many asking whether Toke has lost faith in her desire for a traditional, monogamous marriage.

Toke’s epiphany comes after she discussed her failed marriage to Maje Ayida, which fell apart in 2017 amid cheating claims. In earlier episodes of the podcast, Toke recounted the emotional torture of the experience, which typically left her in tears.

But it seems the 40-year-old media personality has since had a change of heart, embracing her reality and battling societal expectations.

“I am 40, I am single, and I am childless. I said it, and I did not die,” Toke affirmed, asserting her truth with uncompromising candor. “I used to be ashamed. But honestly, if I married again, I would have been divorced again. The lessons do not end.” Toke’s words are testament to her growth and self-awareness, as she places her own happiness and fulfillment over societal pressure.

While some have praised Toke for being honest and for being brave enough to defy traditional norms, others are concerned that her statement might be interpreted as a reflection of desperation or low self-esteem. Toke’s fans, however, are having none of this, and state that her admission is a freeing affirmation of independence, a rebellion against societal pressure to be and do what society expects a woman at a specific point in her life to be and do.

As the debate rages on, one thing is sure: Toke Makinwa remains unapologetically herself and will not be shamed or silenced. Hate her or love her, Toke’s insistence on not avoiding tough conversations and challenging societal norms has made her one of Nigeria’s most provocative and interesting media personalities.
