Toke Makinwa gets proposals after podcast remarks

Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa is receiving numerous marriage proposals after expressing willingness to remarry during a podcast chat.

The popular TV host, vlogger, actress, author, and fashion entrepreneur went viral after making an unexpected revelation about her evolving views on marriage.

Speaking on a recent podcast, Toke said she is now open to the idea of becoming a second, third, or even fifth wife, a statement that sparked a wave of conversation on social media.

“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,” she said during the podcast. “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?”

Her candor appeared to resonate with many listeners, as clips from the podcast quickly spread online, drawing both admiration and criticism. Within hours of the interview going viral, the media personality shared a screenshot on her social media page, revealing a flood of marriage proposals that had filled her inbox.

One of the bold proposals read: “GOAL: Can we get married? – proposes marriage, based in Ibadan, works as senior data analyst.” It was one of many messages from suitors seemingly eager to take her up on the offer.

The screenshot stirred further reactions online, with fans and critics weighing in on the sudden interest in Makinwa’s marital status. While some users praised her honesty and willingness to challenge societal expectations, others suggested the suitors were merely riding the trend or chasing clout.

“Make men taste this national cake now,” wrote @icecoldlifestyl.

“We sabi the update, nobody wan taste her cake, she wan show say men want her.. Nah scam,” @Stg_pop posted, doubting the sincerity behind the flood of proposals.

Another user, @dearolaa, argued that Makinwa’s target audience is not the average man: “She’s not even talking to the average or any Nigerian. She’s looking for a rich or wealthy man to be 2nd, 3rd or 4th and 5th wife to.”

Despite the mixed reactions, her message about seeking companionship amid the challenges of a high-achieving lifestyle sparked important conversations about modern relationships, power dynamics, and personal choice.

Toke, who has built a reputation for her unfiltered opinions and glamorous lifestyle, has previously spoken about her first marriage and the lessons it taught her. Her latest comments suggest a shift in mindset that many women—especially those in leadership and public life—can relate to.

As her inbox continues to overflow with proposals, fans and followers are watching closely to see if any of them will lead to something meaningful. Regardless of the outcome, Toke Makinwa has once again proven her ability to stir dialogue and dominate the spotlight.
