Why I will never change my surname in marriage – Toke Makinwa

Toke Makinwa, a well-known Nigerian media personality, has revealed why she will never take her partner’s surname in marriage.

She stated on her show that her name is a brand that she has worked hard to develop.

Toke, who was married but divorced due to alleged adultery, claims that not changing her name when she married made things easier when they split because she didn’t have to deal with the stress of a name reversal.

“I kept my last name when I got married. It was supposed to be Toke Makinwa-Ayida but it was only at home that he called me Mrs Ayida.

“I hope that whoever I end up with next would actually love it because Toke Makinwa is staying. I don’t want to hyphenate. But my kids can bear their father’s surname.

“In my marriage, my bank details, my passport, nothing changed. Imagine what I would have gone through trying to change it back when we got divorce. I have built this brand with my blood, sweat and tears.”

Kanyidaily recalls that Toke Makinwa loses her home training as she attends Usher’s show in Paris.
