“Know Your Worth”- Toke Makinwa Warns Singles Against Settling For Less

Popular media personality and entrepreneur, Toke Makinwa, has encouraged singles to uphold their standards when selecting a partner, despite societal pressures.

She expressed that there is nothing wrong with a woman relying on a man for financial support, adding that men who are not comfortable with such expectations should simply avoid such women and allow those who are willing to step in.

Speaking in a recent episode of her podcast, Toke Moments, she shared her perspective on relationship dynamics and financial dependency.

“You don’t need to lower your standard. There are over a billion people in this world. You can go and find somebody who has what you are looking for. Stop letting society dictate for you.

“If you say, ‘Oh, this girl is a money-hungry b!tch. All she wants is a man to pay her bills.’ If you can’t pay her bills, leave. There is another guy who that is what he is looking for.

“I feel like we make things harder than they are; fighting online with our opinions. If somebody is not what you are looking for, refuse the urge to start trying to pinpoint what is wrong with them because it is actually a reflection of you and not them.”

 In the same podcast, the media figure discussed being single and childless at 40. She acknowledged that if she had married again, she could have ended up divorced.
