The marriage between TV personality and brand influencer, Toke Makiwa and Maje Ayida was described by many as a union made in heaven following a classy wedding ceremony staged in 2014.
But the honeymoon wasn’t long before the curtain fell on their celebrated marital bliss after an Igbosere High Court in Lagos in 2017 dissolved the union, citing the husband’s adulterous lifestyle. Toke had on March 9, 2016, asked the court to dissolve the marriage on the grounds that Maje committed adultery.
However, in a recent chat #WithChude, Toke revealed how the marriage broke down without any warning and how it shook her the most because the entire incident was paraded on social media when she was still oblivious about what had occurred.
“I went to bed one way and I woke up the other. When it broke out in the media, I was sleeping,” she said.
The popular radio personality admitted the circumstances surrounding her marriage’s breakdown left her heartbroken but she had to put herself together and keep working because that was the only way she could find her feet again.
“I was at work the next day because that was the only thing I knew how to do. I knew I had to carry on because I needed the cash. I had to work because I did not want to be broke. I knew that if I was going to leave this marriage, I was not going to leave with a trust fund. So, I needed to work my ass off to make sure that at least getting a place, I could afford it”, she said.
Toke Makinwa, despite all the heartbreaking situations she has been through, continues to soar in Nigeria’s entertainment scene.
She has consistently maintained her respected status as an accomplished radio personality, television host, blogger, entrepreneur among others.
