Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa, shared valuable insights during an interview with the notable UK-based content creator, Madame Joyce, where she elaborated on certain relationship red flags she deems significant and non-negotiable.
Makinwa emphasized that her adherence to these behaviours is crucial, stating that if a man speaks ill of his ex, consistently brings her up in conversation, or compares past relationships to the present, she would sever ties without hesitation.
To further caution women, she stressed the potential dangers of men who denigrate their former partners, suggesting that a man’s treatment of his ex could be indicative of his future treatment towards a new partner.
Makinwa also highlighted a common tactic among men, wherein they label their exes as “crazy” to deflect accountability for the relationship’s demise, urging women to discern this manipulation.
Madame Joyce supported this notion, describing the trap of believing certain circumstances could never befall oneself.
Makinwa reflected on her personal growth, renouncing the phrase “it can never be me” in acknowledgment of life’s unpredictability.
She accentuated the need for empathy and self-awareness, observing how easily individuals can find themselves in unexpected situations.
The resonant advice provided by Makinwa and echoed by Madame Joyce has struck a chord with many, earning praise for their perspectives on relationship dynamics and the importance of introspection.
“If I meet a guy that runs his ex down, he’s never going to hear from me again. If I meet a guy who talks about his ex consistently, he’s still not over her, and he’s not going to hear from me. If I meet a guy who makes comparisons to where he’s coming from, he’s never going to hear from me.”
“Your vagina is not made of gold, what he did to his ex, he can do times two to you. While you’re with him, it’s easy for a guy to paint a picture saying ‘she was crazy.’ every girl is crazy in every guy’s book, if my exes talk about me to you, you’d think I’m the mad one because everyone would tell story. I always tell women that nigga going on about how crazy she is is the one that made her crazy.”
“I never say it can never be me because… life would catch you at 6pm that night.”
“We’re the greatest judges when it comes to other people, but when it’s our turn, we make a case.”
