Don’t ask a man what you cannot afford for yourself- Toke Mankinwa tells women in relationships

October 22, 2023 Joshua Samuel

Toke Makinwa, a media personality, and Nollywood actress has counseled women in partnerships not to make excessive demands of their male companions.

The actress claimed that it was improper for women to expect from their partners what they were unable to pay for themselves.

She warned women not to put pressure on their male partners during her speech on the most recent episode of her podcast, TokeMoments.

“As a woman living in Mushin, you’re pressuring a guy to buy you a house on Banana Island,” Toke remarked. I apologize. Make sense of it. Can I purchase it? Is it possible to move yourself out of the place you are currently living in?

“If he meets you maybe like halfway and you are saying to him that ‘Bros, I worked hard to get halfway but I have a dream. My dream is not to be here where you met me. And I’m not lazy. For me to leave this point to get to that point, you can see the triat of hard work. Are you going to join me to move there or are you going to be there?’ Period.”

She added that women who make excessive demands from men are the reason men insult women.
