Why I attend most events without my hubby- Toke Makinwa opens up

Toke Makinwa opened up to City People Magazine on her surprise
wedding, being married to the man of her dreams and why she attends
most events without her husband

"To be honest with you, I thank God everyday for the kind of man that
I married. I can't take that for granted.
Marriage is a big deal and I wish a lot of young people will take out
time to really understand what marriage is all about. Even me, what do
I know? I have only been in it for about 8 months but I thank God for
the kind of person that he is. He is my support system. I think he
kind of likes what I do. So he is one of my biggest fans. Even when I
forget certain things, he is the one that is always pushing me, have
you thought about this? What about doing this? Why don't you try that?
There is absolutely nothing that I can't talk to him about. We are
thinking of doing a lot of work together as well hopefully in 2015″

On the reason behind her surprise wedding,

"To be honest with you, I can't understand it myself. I think it
happened the way it was meant to happen. If we didn't do it this way,
I don't think it would have happened till now. There was so much
surrounding Toke and Maje's union"On people being so interested in her
personal life
"I honestly don't know. People seemed interested in it I guess. There
was just so much of both of us out there. The bible says all things
work together for all those that trust God. So at that point, for me,
I could have broken up and living my life and I was ready to be single
again and I woke up one morning again here I am, I am married. It
happened the way it was supposed to happen. That is the only way we
could have done it"

On always attending events

"Attending events is part of work as well. I do get paid to attend
some events. When you grow a brand and it becomes a solid brand,
people will what to associate with that and if they have some products
or services that they have that would align with your brand, they
invite you to be part of it. Just like people feel like you been at
certain events might also add some glamour to it. I see it as work as
well. I really don't go out like that, in terms of having fun or
chilling at home. I think I enjoy the fact that it's a job and I am
getting paid for it. I am the life of a party and that hasn't changed.
I love talking, I love to go out to listen to music and have a good
time. That's who I am and I am truly happy to be with someone who
appreciates that part of me. He loves it so no problem" On why she
doesn't attend events with her hubby
I think its all about putting things into compartments and properly
compartmentalizing things because at the end of the day, he is an
individual. He has his own life. He is loving what he does and I am
loving what I do and it just works for both of us"

"It has always been our personalities. He is amazing. He is a reserved
person. I am the feisty one. It works. We both can't be out there. We
both can't have the personality that I have. He is much older than I
am as well. We just laugh through everything that comes our way.
There are times he follows me out. There are times he attends some
events that I have to make an appearance at. There are times I
literary have to beg him and he says you know what, just go. I am
tired I just want to tap some football at home and I go and I come
back. And we are always in communication. We are always talking.We are
fine. It works for us"
