Every other random week or month, Toke Makinwa manages to set social media astir with her controversial opinions on relationships, fashion, life hacks etc. Today again the author of Unbecoming has many tongues wagging on Twitter NG over her latest utterance. For a moment, we have all forgotten our country’s woes as #WokeLikeToke, #Toke and #WhatsappCalls take the front burner.
WATCH:
#ICYMI: Girls like being called, but not WhatsApp call; I feel some type of way when a guy is not using his credit to call me – Toke Makinwa pic.twitter.com/BfH8kBMRCe

Got that, guys? “Spend your money, let me feel as if you’re on the phone for an hour on your money”.
She went on to add: “I personally think if a guy Whatsapp calls me, I feel a certain type of way.”
With clockwork precision, TwitterNG erupted with jokes, sarcasm and annoyance. Basically, Twitter has written Toke off.

Toke's outlook is odd. Reeks of someone who needs to believe that a man has cared about her at one point. The advice? She dey warn herself

The Toke Effect
BREAKING NEWS: Mark Zukerberg removes 'call' feature on social media app WhatsApp because according to one Toke, its for broke people.?
— Tega? (@ehte_) August 9, 2017
Rubbish and nonsense
I have since learned to ignore Toke's insane standards
What I cannot ignore is how she manages to speak w/o her upper & lower lips meeting.

Aunty Toke shouldn't be taken seriously tbh. She doesn't know data is expensive???

Dear Lord,
What wrong did we commit as Nigerians to deserve humans like Toke Makinwa, Diezani, Lai Mohammed, Speedy, Bobrisky?

Wait, WhatsApp call is for broke people? I guess I paid for the data with my emotions, Oro rirun!

WhatsApp call
• Saves airtime
• No rushing
• You can chat & still make calls*But one Toke from agidingbi will tell you otherwise.

No go do yasef
If you follow Toke's mouth and break up with your boyfriend because he only calls you on WhatsApp, it is you cold and konji will wound.

You people that they dont kuku call before….if u like let Toke Makinwa be dictating what platform u should be called on. ???
— Ferdinand (@Burmese_Tyga) August 9, 2017
Toke is right
If it's whatsapp video that's okay but not whatsapp call. I agree with Toke Makinwa. Jump on a clit ?
— Adende (@DiorLarr_) August 9, 2017
I’m with Toke on this one, but not for the reasons you think
Inasmuch as I'm not a Toke Makinwa fan, WhatsApp call is shit in Nigeria! Who has time to be screaming "hello, hello, hello, can u hear me?"

Funny thing is I don't even like Whatsapp calls. But that's because it's usually not as clear as mobile calls.

Listen to sense

We have left the substance, which is the actual communication to focus on the channel. Whatsapp call or regular phonecalls. Chasing shadows

Toke: Spend money on real phone calls, not free WhatsApp calls.

When in developed countries , people actually either Skype or make WhatsApp calls and when they are doing that, na free text.

The Naija factor
Just a sign of how new and expensive our telecommunications industry is, that this is the thinking that has developed. C'est la vie.
