Toke Makinwa, a media personality and Nollywood actress, has counseled women in partnerships not to make excessive demands of their men partners.
The actress claimed that it was improper for women to expect from their partners what they are unable to pay for themselves.
She warned women not to put pressure on their male partners during her speech on the most recent episode of her podcast, TokeMoments.
She said, “As a woman, you’re living in Mushin, and you’re putting pressure on a guy to buy you a house in Banana Island. I’m sorry. Make it make sense. Can you buy it? Can you even move yourself out of where you are small?
“If he meets you maybe like halfway and you are saying to him that ‘Bros, I worked hard to get halfway but I’ve a dream. My dream is not to be here where you met. And I’m not lazy. For me to leave this point to get to that point, you can see the triat of hard work. Are you going to join me to move there or are you going to be there?’ Period.”
She added that women who make excessive demands from men are the reason men insult women
