Toke Makinwa Says She Is Dating Again..

Popular On Air Personality, OAP, Toke Makinwa, said parting ways with her ex-husband, Maje Ayida brought her joy and had also afforded her the freedom to know and relate with other men.




The OAP spoke in an interview with Fame Extra Magazine, where she talked about her dating life, misconceptions about marriage and more.

The 31-year-old had filed a petition for decree of dissolution of marriage to the Lagos state High Court against her husband, Maje Amaju Ayida over adultery, cruelty and irreconcilable differences.

Toke’s 18-month-old marriage to Maje Ayida hit the rocks when the latter impregnated his long-time girlfriend, Anita Solomon.
She disclosed that she cried for joy on her first date after the divorce, realizing she was single and dating again.

She said, “It’s tricky! It’s exactly like learning to ride a bike again but I think I am doing very well.
“Of course you get the initial stumble and fall off but the key is to accept that things are different now and that’s ok.

“My first date after my separation, I cried on my way home as I couldn’t believe I was back dating again, the stress and joys of getting to know someone again, the excruciating pain of the past and the will to trust another again. I am having a lot of fun right now.”

Makinwa noted that so many people keep quiet and let things go wrong in their marriage all in order to pretend that it is working.
The OAP added, “People are not honest enough! You are told to keep quiet about everything like showing a sign of ‘all is not well’ automatically means you have a bad marriage.
“The thing is, everyone struggles, no situation is perfect and if people walked around with a little bit of honesty about their situation, a lot of marriages might survive.

“Religion is also a very big problem, God is involved in marriage and he has also blessed us with the capacity to think and make decisions for ourselves so people need to be less religious and more aware of His love. There will be way less judgement.”

“So much goes on in a home and you are told to keep mute, keep taking, pray till your knees get dark from kneeling (which is a good thing, don’t get me wrong), but a lot of people lose who they are trying to keep with all of these mandates that doesn’t always work.

“I am not saying you should go around telling everyone your business but I feel if we had more people open up about their struggles and a society that is less judgmental, people will begin to appreciate the beauty of seeing two people work at staying together and realizing the sheer amount of work required on both sides.”

    1. So if she marries at 32, is it equal to death? At 28 Abi 29, she was rushing like someone was pursuing her. Sticking to a relationship by force when it wasn't working. Abeg, let's learn to be patient with ourselves and God. If it's not working, it's not. Let people call you gwegs, but be sure that once you get it right you get it right. And you move on to other things.
      Well, the veil has torn so I wish her all the best. I know toke will marry again and marry better. She will.

  26. U sue your husband for adultery and you are dating already? Toke please advise yourself. Under the law you are still married until your divorce pulls through. Do not jeopardize your good case against Maje and his co respondent. You shouldnt have done this interview. Your lawyer ought to advise you better

    2. @anonymous 12:46, darling, perhaps you should try reading comments to understand the author's ‎point of view and not to render a rebuttal or an argument. I'm not saying we must agree with every comment, of course we have the carte blanche to challenge contrary opinions but it's prudent to understand what exactly you're rushing to counter.

      Legality and morality are closely related yet very different. Opinions from the court of public opinions are not the same as the opinions from a court of law. @Gorgeous isn't saying Toke should remain celebate nor put her social/personal life on hold till a divorce absolute is granted neither is she being judgmental. She is merely commenting based on a legal mind.

      A petition for divorce/dissolution of marriage is a very delicate matter. For a petitioner who cited "adultery" as one of the grounds for the petition, she can't or shouldn't be seen as committing the very act she's accusing her husband of. If all she cited was irreconcilable differences, dating openly before the divorce is final would be less controversial. In the eyes of the law, Toke is still married so if she's having a sexual relationship, the law regards it as adultery. It doesn't matter if they've been separated for 5 years, an adulterer can't come to court complaining about adultery. He who comes to equity...

      What you fail to understand, sweetie, is, just because "we" agree that her hubby screwed up royally doesn't mean the court would grant Toke's petition. It may surprise you to know that Maje can contest the divorce if he chooses to, and you'll be amazed at the court's decision. I have seen a case where the adulterous hubby came to court crying and practically rolling on the ground begging for a second chance. Guess what the court ruled? The court refused to grant the petition for divorce because, in the mind of the court, there was still a chance to salvage the marriage. Typically, all courts of law are pro matrimony and aren't in a hurry to grant divorce petitions.

      I believe the point @Gorgeous is trying to make is, Toke should be more discrete with her relationship(s) until the divorce is final, especially when she cited adultery as one of the grounds for divorce.‎

    3. Ronalda thank you so much.

  27. Yeah baby. The world is your oyster.

    Maje never loved you or maybe he did. But just not enough to stay with the over ambitious person you became pursuing fame and fortune. You loved him more than he ever did you.
    He did right by leaving you, but he should have just walked away rather than cheat.

    You are doing well for yourself. If Maje is the price you had to pay, then so be it. Perhaps you ll find love again.
    You can have it all. The next Mo Abudu. The Oprah Winfrey of Africa.
    Start your own talk show, you ll make a good host. You are fun to watch on Moments. Fake as shit but still fun to watch.

  29. Anyone noticed how we all preach whilst asking to be judged less whenever we see people guilty of the same offences/sins as we are?
    Well, I will join in asking that people be less religious and judge less when I add divorce to my list of guilt but for now, Toke, abeg and na God I take beg you, let me enjoy my judging in peace. This is considering the fact that you refused to use the same sense you are now claiming to have used and now possess. The question now is where were your senses when you agreed to marry him? I ask because you could have avoided a bad situation but as the isi okpupu wey you get just block your sense.
    Leave social media alone and focus on your relationship and if you like, show the guy pic upandown and world people will tell you who you are.

    And errrrrm,were you born in a leap year? (Feb29) cos you ve been 31 forever......#Okbye Sistergirl!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Its not a crime for a woman to be ambitious? Maje rode on Toke's fame to make something out of his messed up life and he obviously knew about her career goals before he married her, so nobody should blame her for the collapse of her marriage.

    Also, this write up is an excerpt from an interview conducted and not a mere twitter or instagram post.

    Anyway, am glad you have been able to put the past behind you my dear Toke, The divorce went thru' in March, so for how long do people expect her to wait before embracing the dating scene again?

    As for those claiming that she's older than 31,are you in possession of her birth certificate? Besides, she was born in November, so she won't be 32 until then, so legally, she's still 31.

    Be happy girlfriend and keep soaring.

  39. Pls you people should let this babe be oo. Why drag a soul that is just healing? You don't even know what she's going thru. For the fact that she's an OAP does not mean she's not a woman like you or she's not a sister, someone's sister, daughter it's sickening when women troll fellow women who are in psychological pain. Or are u expecting her to come out to tell you how she's crying. Pls let her do what ever will not break her

    Pls just wish her well and *F* off!!!

  40. You said you were happy back dating!!! That's a fat lie. No one is ever happy returning to a bend they have passed. You should be bold enough to said you are sad to return backwards as a singly dating girl looking for love when you should be consolidating on the love you ought to have had. This would help you shine your eyes and identify what you did wrong in the previous case that burnt your fingers so they don't repeat.

  54. Eyahhh.... @ TOKE IT IS WELL.

    I was team Anita back then and it was because it is quiet obvious Maje and Anita have love and history.

    Toke dont be dismayed.. your own husband, your soulmate is on his way to you. Maje was not the one and now you are aware.

    Your own DH will love and accept you for who you are and what you are. He will never try to change you and will do anytime to love and keep you. That is my prayer for you.

    Listen .... african men like natural women... food for thought.

    I am not saying you should look like a bush village girl, but i am saying look more like Toke so that he can recognise you when he see you

    Secondly.... enough of been fake unless you will attract fake ass men towards yourself.

    Be true to yourself and your rightful husband will find you. After that date, you will be crying tears of joy because you suddendly realised what you thought was love in the past was not really love.

    God be with you and May God give us all wisdom to be more like Jesus.

    Forgive my mistakes joor ... no time to cross check.
