During an episode of her podcast *Toke Moment* featuring guest Tacha, Makinwa made public remarks shared on @tokemakinwa suggesting that women have no business getting married during their 20s. She argued that individuals in their 20s are still undergoing critical self-discovery and lack the maturity required to make lifelong marital commitments.
The video snippet went viral across TikTok and Instagram, drawing sharp reactions from young adults, religious commentators, and fellow media figures divided over her perspective.
Validating the comments, Daily Post Nigeria quoted Makinwa directly: “Women have no business getting married in their 20s… You don’t even know yourself yet, and those who did are regretting it now”. Additionally, The Nation Nigeria reported on the episode, citing podcast guest Tacha’s response: “Marriage is like an institution; those inside want to get out, and those outside can’t wait to get in”.
Echotitbits take:
Toke Makinwa’s commentary hits on a growing cultural shift in urban Nigeria where traditional expectations around early marriage collide with modern career development and financial independence. Her podcast continuously succeeds by tackling controversial lifestyle topics that drive cross-platform discourse. Watch for further reaction videos and rebuttal op-eds from traditional relationship advisors over the coming days.
