Toke Makinwa reveals how she Cried on first Date after leaving Maje

On Air Personality Toke Makinwa is back dating again but the her journey did not start off as a rosy one as she has disclosed she wept on her way home after her first date as a single woman.

Toke Makiwa has revealed she never anticipated that she would ever go on a date with a man that wasn’t Maje Ayida her ex husband.

In August, reports claimed that the 31-year-old OAP is in a new relationship with a US-based businessman.

While Toke makinwa doesn’t confirm the identity of her new partner, she says she is doing much better now in a new interview with Fame Magazine.

On being single again

It’s tricky! It’s exactly like learning to ride a bike again but I think I am doing very well. Laughs. 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.

On her biggest misconception about marriage

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…

On how she deals with controversy

I just don’t meddle too much in what is being said or how it is being analysed… I simply keep it moving. God has been so incredible in my career and before I started, he told me. “You will hold your peace and I will fight for you”. He has not failed me yet. I just pray about the situation and remind him always that as a servant looks up to his master and a maid servant to her mistress; my eyes are on him (GOD).

On the most absurd thing she ever ever read about herself

That I had a child I was hiding. It was so silly but yeah, that was funny.

On what she hates in a man 

A man that talks too much… No thanks! Dirty nails too. Gross!

On what body feature she wishes she has

I used to wish I was taller, I used to wish I had a bigger frame and I passed 25 and started adding some extra weight and I wished for my small frame even more. No one is perfect, we are all on a journey to love ourselves and some people get there faster than others but in the end, we realise that it keeps changing and the key is to embrace even the things that we want to change so bad.

On what she thinks of plastic surgery

Hmm… I am not against it, I feel like it’s a comfort thing, I have seen people struggle with those things that they are insecure about and once they get something done, they become different people. They are more confident, and if it rocks their boats, why not? I never judge another’s decision. Knock yourself out.
