THE CABLE
Toke Makinwa, the media personality, has reflected on her tumultuous marriage and divorce during her birthday thanksgiving party.
Toke married Maje Ayida, her longtime partner, in 2014. However, their union was short-lived due to infidelity allegations in 2015, leading to their divorce in 2017.
During the event, the media personality thanked God for giving her the strength to withstand the challenges.
The 39-year-old OAP recounted feeling like she would “die” the day she ended her marriage. Toke also appreciated her friends for standing by her during that difficult period.
“Jesus you have comforted me when friends left me. Jesus you saw me through a divorce. When I thought I was going to die, when I did not know if I was going to wake up the next day, somehow you held me together. Even when I showed a frail faith, you knew I was not frail. Somehow you made me a tiger. You are the one that liveth. You are the one that will never fail,” she said.
“I thank God for all my friends here. I thank God that I am not looking out to look for you guys I am looking up. I have not been the best of fried for you guys but somehow you see something and I am grateful.”
Toke dismisses marriage rumour
There were rumours on social media that the media personality secretly married Farouk Umar. This was after a video of the duo sharing lovey-dovey moments went viral.
Toke, however, clarified that they are just friends. She added that “Farouk held me down when there was nobody”.
“On Obasanjo’s internet, they said I got married to this guy. This guy is my best friend o, listen, on Toke Makinwa’s internet…
