Media personality and actress Toke Makinwa has finally addressed the lingering narrative that she dislikes men and marriage.

In a recent statement, Toke clarified that she is, in fact, a strong advocate for marriage and cherished her time as a married woman.

"I loved being married, and I still believe in the institution of marriage," Toke emphasized. "However, I think we need to address the issues plaguing our generation, such as the lack of appreciation for people and meaningful commitments."

Toke pointed out that today's society often prioritizes fleeting happiness over long-term fulfillment, leading some individuals to opt for a peaceful life alone rather than navigating the challenges of relationships.

"We need to work on building stronger, more supportive partnerships," Toke advised. "If we don't, more people will choose solitude over the occasional joys of marriage."

By speaking out, Toke aims to dispel the misconceptions surrounding her views on men and marriage, encouraging open discussions about the importance of healthy relationships and commitment.

In 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”
