    Nollywood actress Toke Makinwa has articulated her aspiration to remarry.

    At the age of 40, she described marriage as one of the most beautiful institutions, despite its inherent challenges.

    In a recent podcast discussion with British-Nigerian media figure Madame Joyce, she stated, “People always think I hate men or a feminist who bashes men. I have been married before and marriage is one of the most beautiful institutions.

    “I see marriage like the relationship between siblings. If your siblings come to visit, the first couple of days are exciting. You guys wear matching pyjamas, sleep in the same bed, and catch up on all the lost years or lost moments. By the third day, it’s like, ‘Close my f*cking door. Who wore my shoes? Where are my earrings? Please, when are you going back to your house? Please, I am tired.’ And that was how I saw it.

    “There were days when I would rush home to tell my ex-husband everything I had been through. And there were days when I woke up in the morning, I said, ‘God, you must hate me for me to marry this idiot. This is not life; this must be hell.’ That was how I saw it. And it didn’t work out many years ago. But I still fancy the institution. I do want to get married again.

    “It hasn’t happened yet. I’m not ruling it out. I am just taking my time. Maybe it’s not God’s time yet. Whenever he is ready, I just hope I am not wrinkled [laughs].”

    Toke Makinwa was formerly married to businessman Maje Ayida. Their marriage, which began in 2014, ended in 2017.

    Recently, there were claims that she had married her rumored long-term partner, Farouk Umar. However, the actress promptly refuted these rumors, clarifying that they are merely “besties” and that the supposed wedding was actually a thanksgiving event.
