Toke Makinwa Speaks On Marriage; Says She Won’t Change Her Name
Actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has declared that she will never take on her spouse’s last name if she marries again. Toke revealed this in a Toke Moments episode, saying that she has put a lot of effort into developing her brand. The ex-wife of Maje Ayida claimed that because she had spared herself the anxiety of having to reverse her name when they split, it had been simpler for her to move on after their marriage ended.
In her words:
“I kept my last name when I got married. It was supposed to be Toke Makinwa-Ayida, but it was only at home that he called me Mrs Ayida.
“I hope that whoever I end up with next would actually love it because Toke Makinwa is staying. I don’t want to hyphenate. But my kids can bear their father’s surname.
“In my marriage, my bank details, my passport, nothing changed. Imagine what I would have gone through trying to change it back when we got divorced. I have built this brand with my blood, sweat, and tears.”
Netizens have since reacted to her statement, with many sharing their views on the subject matter, while others considered banter.
