Toke Makinwa
many fans who rejoiced with celebrated
broadcaster, Toke Makinwa, when she got married to her lover of eight
years, Maje Ayida, last year are likely to be troubled by the tales
surrounding it now.
Tongues had been wagging for some time that the husband had been alledgedly cheating on her.
The story reminds followers of celebrity
marriages of the troubles that several of such had witnessed in the
past few years. For instance, the likes of Funke Akindele, Ini Edo and
comedian Princess had got it so rough that their marriages did not
survive for long.
Initially, Makinwa was mum on the topic.
But on Tuesday, she took to Instagram obviously to address the issue.
She referred to the development as a blessing in disguise, and noted
that she had received several messages from people sympathising with
her.
She
wrote, “The amount of emails I have received from women across the
world going through difficult situations is heartbreaking. Thank you all
for sharing. In a world where the popular belief out there is that
women hate one another, women can’t stand one another, etc., I have got
emails/calls from women sharing their own personal pains, and that is
courageous.
“I can’t reply everyone (even though I
honestly wish I could.) It is funny how God uses even the most
unbelievable things to bless you. I have been given a voice, a platform
(I don’t even know how it all happened) but I woke up one day and I
found God and with that came purpose. It’s never about you, as hard as
it seems. Sometimes, you go through things not for you but for the
people around you who need direction, a word of prayer or more.
“May God heal every broken heart out
there. May His light give you the courage to begin to love yourself. It
is tough being a woman, the pressure is real. You don’t have to be a
victim. You can rise above it all. Do not let society tell you
otherwise. Be bold, be strong. Trust God’s purpose for your life and
keep shinning. And yes, to all the people asking, there is a Vlog this
week!”
But there a appeared to be something
like a relief on Tuesday evening when a Twitter account linked to Ayida
indicated that the anti-matrimonial allegations against him are false.
