Don’t Demand What You Can’t Afford From Men – Toke Makinwa Tells Ladies
Nigerian Nollywood actress and media personality, Toke Makinwa, has offered a word of advice to women in relationships, emphasizing the importance of avoiding extravagant demands from their male partners.
In the latest episode of her podcast, “TokeMoments,” the talented actress stressed that it is unfair for women to request things they cannot provide for themselves from their significant others. She encouraged women to exercise restraint and avoid putting undue pressure on their male partners.
She said, “As a woman, you’re living in Mushin, and you’re putting pressure on a guy to buy you a house in Banana Island. I’m sorry. Make it make sense. Can you buy it? Can you even move yourself out of where you are small?
“If he meets you maybe like halfway and you are saying to him that ‘Bros, I worked hard to get halfway but I’ve a dream. My dream is not to be here where you met. And I’m not lazy. For me to leave this point to get to that point, you can see the trait of hard work. Are you going to join me to move there or are you going to be there?’ Period.”
She added that women who make excessive demands from men are the reason men insult women.
