Media personality, Toke Makinwa has addressed the misconception that she hates men or is against them.
In a post shared on her Instagram stories, Toke Makinwa clarified that she actually loves marriage and is a strong supporter of it, believing that two people are better than one.
She, however, criticized how today’s generation values material things over people and treats relationships as replaceable.
The media personality noted that, unlike in the past when communities came together to support each other, people now focus more on their individual needs and material success.
According to her, this shift has led to fewer meaningful marriages and more people choosing to be alone for the sake of their peace of mind, rather than dealing with superficial or short-lived relationships.
Toke Makinwa noted that until this mindset changes, she and many others will continue to prefer being single rather than getting married.
She wrote, “Funny how the narrative out there is that I hate men or I’m a man basher etc. truth is I love marriage, I loved being married, I’m a huge advocate for marriage cos 2 is better than 1. The way this generation is set up though……
“We use people and value things. It should be the other way round. We used to Value people and things were meant to be used. Our generation is moving like everyone is replaceable, we stopped investing in people cos we all think we can find better.
“Everyone moving like our material things and what society has made us think is real success is what we need to invest in. Way back it took a community to raise kids, not anymore, our walls are so high.
“We care more about what we put out, everyone is all about “I” and the few who are not get involved with those who are and it ends up being one sided. People picking their peace of mind over a collective Peace for all. It can’t werk
“Until we begin to fix it, sadly a lot of people will settle for life alone with peace over trying to exist in periodic happiness and disposable interaction. Thank you all for coming to my TedTalk… it’s been a while. Ok Bye.”
