Toke Makinwa: Speaks On,Life,Work,Controversies,And Being Back With Partner Of 11 Years Maje Ayida.

Omotoke Makinwa is probably one of Nigeria's most controversial radio girls.

The on air media personality with Rhythm's 93.7 has been faced with a lot of media "hate" and backlash in recent times..

All these she has dusted off and powered on like a bulldozer, forging on for success with no one to stop her shine. 

This is quite commendable.

Toke has been reaching out to her fans through her her blog,vlogs and youtube page where she tries to share a piece of her with her fans,giving fashion and beauty tips when time permits her to do so..

We came across an indepth interview she granted Thisday newspapers.

We thought to share with you..

Excerpts below..

👇👇

"Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Jersey Shore Cast, Kanye West and Justin Bieber are famous people. Everyone knows their names and talks about them. Yes, they are known for different things, but the one thing that makes them the same, besides the fact that they are famous, is the intense reaction they evoke from the public.

There is something about these people that everyone loves to hate; their every move is met with harsh criticism from the public, insults and sometimes death threats.

Why is this so?

That may remain a mystery.

Cue in Rhythm 93.7 radio personality Toke Makinwa and, within a few seconds of reading several celebrity gossip blogs, a keen observer draws parallels between her and the celebrities mentioned above. The intensity of rage and insults whizzing towards Toke Makinwa whenever she is in the news is astonishing.

As she settled down for an interview with her visitor, it was as if she expected the first question: “Why do people hate you so much?”

Strangely, there was no hint of bitterness or anger in her voice as she said, with a hint of a smile tugging at her lips, “I sit back sometimes and ask myself these same questions. Why do people dislike me? Why do I create such a buzz and whip people into frenzy? Why me? I really don’t know, but I would call it polarity – it’s that thing that certain individuals have that makes people love to hate them – it’s sort of a gift.”

A wry smile lingered on her lips. And then she asked that question most women would easily answer “No” to: “Would you rather be that girl that no one takes notice of, and people get bored with or the one that gets everyone’s attention?”

Of course not!

It is admirable that this petite lady can hold her own against the scorching hatred of many. Yet, how could she still keep her cool and brush aside negativity? “We are human and regardless of anyone who is famous, anyone who has a calling, or has a ministry, you have blood flowing through your veins so of course these things would hurt. 

I sometimes ask myself, ‘am I really a bad person?’ It can be very overwhelming, you shed some tears sometimes, it hurts, it really does.”

Was there a slight catch in her voice? She quickly pulled herself together and continued, “But I’ll say the God-factor has helped. I look back and I know that the toughness, the strength, the will, the resolve. It was incoming, it was from my growing years.

 So I don’t even read the negative stuff, I try not to let it bother me. I simply dwell on what I’ve accomplished so far, my journey and other things I’m yet to achieve.”

And then as an afterthought she added, “You know, you also have to be grateful for the naysayers or haters as people call them, they are there to keep you in check, they are there to keep you grounded. Deep down they admire you. They just have a funny way of showing it.”
