‘I Spent My Entire 20s Following One Man’ – Toke Makinwa
Renowned media personality Toke Makinwa has opened up about spending her entire 20s focused on one relationship, sharing her reflections and lessons learned from the experience.
Speaking during an appearance on Cocktails and Takeaways, Makinwa candidly expressed dissatisfaction with that chapter of her life. “I don’t think I liked my twenties. I don’t think I knew what I was doing because I was in love with one man in my 20s. I spent my entire 20s following one man,” she revealed.
The media star acknowledged that while the experience shaped her into the person she is today, she now advises young people to prioritise self-discovery before committing to marriage. “If I could turn back the hand of time, I’m grateful that I’m where I am today because my experience has shaped me. But I tell young people that you have no business getting married in your early or mid-twenties. Figure yourself out. Know yourself first,” she said.
Makinwa’s insights add to the ongoing conversation about personal growth and self-awareness in relationships, resonating with fans who view her as a voice of wisdom and empowerment.
