Media personality and entrepreneur Toke Makinwa has addressed a wrong narrative about her regarding men and marriage.
Taking to her Instagram story, the divorcee noted how people think she hates men or is a man basher, which is wrong, as she loves marriage and being married. Toke stated that she greatly advocates marriage because 2 is better than 1.
However, the way this generation is set up, we use people and value things, when it should be the other way round. She noted how this generation is moving like everyone is replaceable and we stop investing in people because we all think we can find better.
She further noted how everyone is moving like our material things and what society has made us think is real success is what we invest in. She noted how back then, it took a community to raise kids, not anymore, as our walls are so high.
Toke added that people now care about what they put out as everyone is all about themselves and the few who aren’t getting involved with those who are and it ends up one-sided. She stated that people picking their peace of mind over a collective peace for all, wouldn’t work.
“Funny how the narrative out there is that I hate men or I’m a man basher, etc. I’m a huge advocate for marriage cos 2 is better than 1. The way this generation is set up though…
We use people and value things. It should be the other way around. We used to value people, and things were to be used. Our generation is moving like everyone is replaceable, we stopped investing in people cos we all think we can find better.
Everyone moves like our material things and what society has made us think is real success is what we need to invest in. Way back, it took a community to raise kids, not anymore, our walls are so high.
We care more about what we put out; everyone is all about “I” and the few who are not getting involved with those who are and it ends up being one-sided. People picking their peace of mind over a collective Peace for all can’t work.
Until we begin to fix sadly, a lot of people will settle for life alone with peace over trying to exist in periodic happiness and disposable interaction. Thank you all for coming to my Tedtalk. It’s been a while. Ok bye”.
