Toke Makinwa released a vlog titled “20’s vs 30’s” which went viral over the weekend.
Amongst the many things she said: “Your 20s are those fun years. Your 20s are your get out of jail card. This is the year when you can become anything – you can even become a prostitute. You can do anything. And when I say anything – get a tattoo, kiss a stranger, don’t date too seriously, go out from Sunday to Sunday, club hop, bar crawl, drink till you cannot recognise yourself anymore…”
Nigerians came for her. Chief of them, a broadcaster at Nigeria Info FM.
Dear young people, please ignore Ms Toke's advice. Your 20's are not for bar-hopping & club hopping. Those years are too precious to waste..

Living recklessly in your 20's is not expressing yourself. The foundation of your future is built with the choices you make at that time..

Yes, you can make great friends in your 20's and boys are great. But please do not have one-night stands. You deserve better than that..

In your 20's you're still in the process of discovering yourself, your mind is open and active & there are great opportunities ahead of you.

As a young African woman, there are challenges that face you & the earlier you put yourself together to be part of the solution, the better

So, dear young lady, let no one deceive you. Life in your 20's is not about clothes, make-up, parties & instagram. You are made for more.

Frankly speaking, i think African women face enough challenges so we should raise our young girls to be educated, innovative & driven.
