The author of Unbecoming, Toke Makinwa has had her fair share of scathing criticism and attack from the online community, but the one comment Nigerians always reach for every time her opinions are not in sync with the rest of the general populace is:

After her failed marriage, Toke Makinwa should shut up about her silly, unwanted relationship advice. She should practice her accent more.

Toke is like a ratchet hoe forming posh. Ds bitch couldn't keep a marriage, still got no man & still gives relationship advice. Smh..

— Dave Code (@datCodedGooner) August 9, 2017

So toke makinwa is giving us reltionship advice. Mama how long did you marry for

— AKINKUNLE_ (@cokercoker923) August 10, 2017

Sigh.

They never tire of reducing Toke to her broken marriage with Maje.

Because it’s about time someone corrected this grievous error, Dr. Dipo was God’s chosen vessel to stage an intervention.

See below:

Toke had a failed marriage. No one wants that but these things happen. Reminding her of that every time she has an opinion is stupid.

— Dr. Dipo Awojide (@OgbeniDipo) August 9, 2017

Toke can say whatever she wants to say including advising married folks. You don't have to agree. It's her opinion & you can't shut her up.

— Dr. Dipo Awojide (@OgbeniDipo) August 9, 2017

Toke Makinwa is a very successful young woman and we have a lot to learn from her, irrespective of a failed marriage.

— Dr. Dipo Awojide (@OgbeniDipo) August 9, 2017

That toke had a failed marriage,doesn't mean she has failed in life,
Its quite sad that people are quick to judge what they no nothing about

A divorce is not a failed marriage.It's just like removing a flat or punctured tire while on a trip.Can still have a fine journey with extra

The society wants you to believe that if you leave a toxic marriage, you have failed and you have no chance at happiness again. Another lie!

— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) August 10, 2017

Pure lie.I left with 2kids and a pregnancy. I was laughed at and mocked by a man who constantly abused me.but look at me now 5years gone

Watch societies that demonize failure, they are always backward. Failure is ok. Failure is a means to an end not an end itself.

— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) August 10, 2017

That’s a no for me, Dogg

Its OK if we let her know she had a hand in the failure of her marriage, she is so fond of putting all the blame on the guy.

— Joshua Atigogo (@kashflo86) August 9, 2017

The reason why I can't listen to Toke about relationships n marriage is the same reason a juju man can't boast of making me rich. 1/2

— EÖ TheManCalledWenger (@BriareousEX) August 9, 2017

She should toll the lines everyone in that shoes has, why isn't Chigul, Funke Akindele, Princess and co publicizing their failed marriages?

— The Gidi Hustler™ (@sammy_unusual) August 10, 2017

Pls let's stop encouraging mediocrity n stupidity. If it is wrong, we will say it as it is. It is wrong abeg.

School is in session

Have you seen where someone with F9s is suppose to advice a prospective WAEC/GCE candidate on how not to fail??

— Abu Faheem (@Rashyd2104) August 10, 2017

Asking a simple question like it is the Schrodinger equation. 'Why I Failed The 1st Time' 'How Not To Prepare for WAEC/GCE' are valid titles https://t.co/eFrDKzHneV

— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) August 10, 2017

Then she should give advice on ALL other things and not relationships..that's all I ask for

— Abu Faheem (@Rashyd2104) August 10, 2017

Bio says u are a father, now teach this to your child(ren): When you fail, learn from your failure. That way, others can learn from you too. https://t.co/02f6SxzPmt

— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) August 10, 2017

Thing is…

In all these tweets, I can only see pro-toke and anti -toke. We need grace to get it right is all I know.

Abi oooo.
