Don’t demand what you can’t afford from men – Toke Makinwa tells ladies

Toke Makinwa, a well-known Nollywood actress and media personality, has offered advice to women in relationships, advising them against making extravagant requests from their male partners.

The actress expressed that it is inappropriate for women to ask for things from their partners that they themselves cannot afford.

She shared this during the most recent episode of her podcast, TokeMoments. She emphasized the importance of not pressuring their male partners in this manner.

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.”
