Controversial Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa has made attempts to explain why she thinks most attractive men are in a relationship with women that she perceives as ugly.

The livid media personality stated that the department failed to render their service with immediate effect.
In her post, she revealed that she was infuriated at their negligence.
Taking to Twitter, Toke wrote;
Nigeria is jokes man, this is a fucking movie. There was a fire at my house last night. Thank God it was curtailed. Emergency fire department was called guys. Guess what time they strolled in to my house? 1pm today.
”This country is designed to frustrate you. You call on the fire department and they show up almost 20 hours later; asking questions like “who put out the fire”? I am still shocked.
”5 fire fighters in uniform walk up to me talking about can they inspect the location of the fire outbreak?? We needed you at 10pm last night. You didn’t show up. We fought to contain the situation and you want to inspect what exactly??? This country is a pure cruise.
Then they ask to come back to teach the household how to use a fire extinguisher… The shock I’m feeling, the anger and tiredness, I’m not sure how to feel about my country, Nigeria.”
Outspoken media personality, Toke Makinwa has taken to social media to reveal why it is important to never age-shame a woman into marriage.
In a Twitter thread, the On-air personality stated that women should be allowed to live the way they want and settle down when they desire.
She mentioned that women should never be pressured to get married before the age of 40. Toke opined that there should be no threshold for finding true love.
Here is what she wrote on Twitter;
“When did growing older become an insult???
Like, Nigerians will use everything to insult you.
Don’t go and marry, you can’t keep a man, don’t go and born, keep cruising till you reach 40 like is 40 the deadline???
I’m not understanding.”
In the latter part of her post, the media personality stated that 40 is the new 20, therefore women should be allowed to live on their own terms.
Her final paragraph reads;
“Everyone will age, 40 is the new 20.
The next time you want to age shame anyone remember that you will age too or do you want to die young???”
