CHEATING ISN'T A DEAL BREAKER-Toke Makinwa

Dating: At 41, cheating isn’t a deal breaker for me — Toke Makinwa explains why she believes cheating is easier for women than men Media personality Toke Makinwa stirred debate on her latest podcast episode, addressing the double standards surrounding infidelity.

She spoke candidly about her views on cheating, emphasizing that it is not a deal-breaker for her, but comes with its complexities. “I keep saying this thing, when I say people think that I’m encouraging cheating. Cheating is not a deal-breaker for me, but it comes with a catch-22, right?” Makinwa said.

She added that societal narratives often unfairly portray cheating as predominantly a male issue. “As I grow older, I realize it’s not just men that can cheat. Why are we always making this men’s deal special by making it seem as if it’s only these men? Do you know how easy it is for a woman to cheat?

“It’s even easier for us than for men,” she noted. Toke also addressed men directly on her podcast, commenting on expectations in relationships. “Let me now address you guys: For men, you’re spending money, you’re doing work, we’re the ones receiving. You guys have to do chasing and spending. You know how we have work, boyfriend,” she said. She clarified that when women cheat, it is often not due to inability, but rather a reflection of unmet needs. “A woman cheating is not because she can’t, it’s because she probably has what you lack the strength,” Makinwa concluded. Her remarks have sparked discussions online about gender, power dynamics, and perceptions of infidelity in modern relationships.

From the novel entitled, "Beyond Imagination" by Oladele Dada.

Oladele Dada. It was dawn. The chilly dust-laden wind formed dense fog on the road. The rocky hills and the tall trees made Ajewole a beautiful town. The birds sang aloud, and clanging of stainless dishes in the neighbourhood suggested human activity was at its peak. Humans had begun to move to their various destinations. Adunni had trouble with child bearing and her husband was worried. Then she booked an appointment with her doctor. After several tests, the doctor suggested the couple be patient and that she will surely get pregnant. Not long after, Adunni was pregnant. After several months, Adunni was delivered of a boy. The women in her neighbourhood, alongside the children, sang and danced to her home to celebrate with her. Her husband, Fredrick Olagbade, thanked the Lord and named the boy Juwon. As Juwon grew, his mother had another child whose name was Olakitan. Juwon was intelligent and his parents were struggling to make ends meet. As poverty st...
