Popular media personality and lifestyle entrepreneur, Toke Makinwa, has ignited a wave of online reactions and unexpected marriage proposals after revealing she is now open to the idea of being a second, third, or even fifth wife.
The conversation began during a recent episode of her podcast Toke Moments, where the media star spoke candidly about how her views on marriage have evolved over the years. In a now-viral clip, Makinwa stated, “In all honesty, at this point in my life, if I have the opportunity to be the second, third, fourth, or fifth wife, I will take it.”
Explaining her stance further, Makinwa opened up about the challenges of being a high-achieving woman, admitting the constant need to be in control can sometimes be emotionally draining. “I am the boss everywhere and that could be tiring. You feel like you need someone to lean on—someone that could decide what’s for dinner. Must it be me?” she asked rhetorically, drawing laughs and nods of agreement from many listeners.
The episode sparked instant buzz online, with clips circulating widely across social media platforms. Reactions have ranged from shock to amusement, but many commended her honesty and vulnerability in tackling the pressures of modern womanhood.
Not long after the podcast aired, Makinwa took to social media to share just how real the reactions had gotten. Posting a screenshot of her inbox, she revealed an influx of messages from men across the country—and beyond—expressing their willingness to make her their wife.
One email, which particularly caught the attention of fans, came from a senior data analyst based in Ibadan. With the subject line “GOAL: Can we get married?”, the sender made a direct appeal to the media personality, offering himself as a willing partner.
While some critics questioned her stance, many fans applauded Makinwa for speaking openly about the burdens of independence and the evolving nature of romantic relationships in today’s world.
As always, the outspoken media mogul has once again sparked a nationwide conversation—this time about love, power, and the choice to define marriage on one’s own terms.
