- Toke Makinwa stated that she greatly advocates marriage because two is better than one
- She noted how this generation is moving like everyone is replaceable.
Media personality and entrepreneur Toke Makinwa has addressed a common misconception about her views on men and marriage.
In an Instagram story, she clarified that she is not a man-hater but rather a strong advocate for marriage and the value of partnerships.
Toke emphasized that she believes “two is better than one” and that marriage can bring numerous benefits. However, she also acknowledged that the current generation’s approach to relationships is flawed.
She noted that material possession are often prioritized over people and that the notion of community and collective support has been eroded.
Toke expressed concern that the emphasis on individual success and social media presentation has led to a culture of disposability, where people are no longer invested in meaningful relationships.
She argued that this approach is unsustainable and that a shift towards valuing people is necessary for true happiness and fulfillment.
Toke encouraged her audience to rethink their priorities and work towards building stronger, more supportive relationships.
She wrote:
“Funny how the narrative out there is that I hate men or I’m a man basher, etc. 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 around. We used to value people, and things were 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 moves 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 getting involved with those who are and it ends up being one-sided. People picking their peace of mind over a collective Peace for all can’t work.
Until we begin to fix 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”.
