- Toke Makinwa warned women about falling for men who trash-talk their exes
- The media personality also stated that she has learnt not to ever use the phrase, ‘It can never be me,’ because life is quick to humble people.
Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has shared her thoughts on relationship red flags and personal growth.
In an interview with Madame Joyce, Toke Makinwa highlighted certain behaviors that would lead her to distance herself from a partner.
She included behaviors such as consistently talking about an ex, making comparisons to past relationships, and running down an ex.
Toke Makinwa emphasized the importance of recognizing these red flags, stating that if a partner engages in such behaviors, it’s best to reevaluate the relationship.
She said:
“If I meet a guy that runs his ex down, he’s never going to hear from me again. If I meet a guy who talks about his ex consistently, he’s still not over her, and he’s not going to hear from me. If I meet a guy who makes comparisons to where he’s coming from, he’s never going to hear from me.
“Your vagina is not made of gold, what he did to his ex, he can do times two to you.
“While you’re with him, it’s easy for a guy to paint a picture saying ‘she was crazy.’ every girl is crazy in every guy’s book, if my exes talk about me to you, you’d think I’m the mad one because everyone would tell story. I always tell women that nigga going on about how crazy she is is the one that made her crazy.”
Madame Joyce chipped in:
“I feel like have this thing as women where we say it can never be me. We have this it can never be me syndrome”.
Makinwa responded:
“I never say it can never be me because at 6pm that night. I don’t judge people because I don’t understand your journey. I hear and I say, may God give us mercy because I’ve seen how people say it can never be me and life would catch you at 6pm that night. One thing I have learnt is that we’re the greatest judges when it comes to other people, but when it’s our turn, we make a case.”
