Nigerian radio personality, TV host, vlogger, lifestyle entrepreneur, actress, author, and fashion influencer, Toke Makinwa, has made headlines once again after publicly hinting at her readiness to give marriage another chance, even if it means becoming a second, third, fourth, or fifth wife. Just hours after her bold confession on a popular podcast, the media personality revealed that she’s already receiving marriage proposals directly in her inbox.
During the now-viral podcast episode, Toke candidly opened up about her evolving views on relationships and marriage, sharing how her position of authority and independence in every area of her life can often feel overwhelming.
“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,” Toke confessed.
Further elaborating on her mindset shift, she added, “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 every time?”

Toke’s comments instantly sparked massive reactions online, with thousands of people weighing in on her unusual declaration. Some hailed her honesty, while others criticized her for seemingly lowering her standards.
To the shock of many, the media mogul later took to her social media page to share a screenshot of her email inbox, revealing messages from eager suitors proposing marriage.
One of the boldest emails she received read: “GOAL: Can we get married? – proposes marriage, based in Ibadan, works as senior data analyst.”
