“Don’t demand what you can’t afford from men” – Toke Makinwa

Toke Makinwa, a popular Nollywood actress and media personality, recently shared some advice for ladies in relationships.

She emphasized that it’s not right to make extravagant demands from their partners if they can’t afford those things themselves. She also cautioned against putting unnecessary 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.”

Toke Makinwa also mentioned that women who make too many demands from men can sometimes be the cause of men insulting women.
