No. But you can learn from the experiences and woes of the blind man to know what made him blind and avoid it.

dangotesmummy:
you have nailed it completely but let me remind you that maje has tokes mumu button. HE kbows the right button to press IN tokes brain that she will just fall like a pack of cards.

That guy is a player and an experienced one at that. He knows how to find his way into anywomans heart he's lusting after. For toke it was a fairy tale romance and wedding she wanted.he gave her that for the rest baby mamas they wanted money and one minute fame and they got it

Every woman has a price and the men know it.some it's money that is their price some its romance baby or fame and he pays the price to get into their v@gyn@s
Like eh....Guinness book of record has to give Maje an award..He is the real MVP!!The dude can even hold seminars with fat entrance fees ,for men to converge and learn from him..Whether its his head game abi other bedmatics..I no know,but that guy was doing sth right,to get women hooked on him like cocaine..The mumu button for both Toke and anita is just too strong! Even d Toke with all the book wen she write, if make comes back, acting repentant and pursues her relentlessly for let's say 2 months, I bet on it that he would still tap that!

Despite my very crazy schedule, I managed to read it last night.. My thoughts on it.... let's see.
1.If a man shows you his attitude the first time,believe him.This book has even reinforced my stance of moving on when I sense any signs of a relationship being toxic.I can break up with a guy after 3 days of dating,when i notice what I can't stand and the added fact that it won't change.. Yes, lemme date 100 guys till I meet that one I can live with, I will take my chances. lol..


2.Always listen to your instincts..Toke had to go through 12 years of hurt and divorce to realize she can't change a man by loving him,.Love is a two way street and has to be 50/50.
Where you are dating a guy and he is acting single, you have to talk to ya legs oo.


3.Beauty cannot keep a man..I mean,my heart broke in a million pieces for toke when i read the part about her asking maje what was it about Anita he couldn't let go of.Like really? Look at Toke and and look at Anita.Yet the plain looking babe had been holding her Maje on lockdown for years.Its clear the heart wants who it wants afterall..



4.As a woman, financial independence is key!Toke would have been forced to remain in her marriage admist the lies and public humiliation if she didn't have her own money.I repeat this daily,single ladies,strive to have your own money ooo.That way having a man is just an 'icing on the cake' not the cake itself.


5.Sayings like 'the devil you know is better than the Angel you don't know','the next man/woman might be worse, lemme stay here and manage it' etc would ultimately lead to your doom like in Toke's case.I learnt that once you sense a pattern (not a one time screw up) e.g repeated lies,cheating and the likes.Please check out of that relationship fast or you must be ready for worse in future and develop a good coping mechanism.


6.Marriage is not the be all and and all of life.Its not every one you love you should marry.Toke saw the signs,yet felt marriage would make Make a better man.Unfortunately, it even dealt her the worse emotional blow in the history of their relationship.
A simple "sorry I can't marry u' would have saved her all this issues.


7.Though friends and family may be wrong by meddling, but at times when they say something about your partner, please listen.God might just be speaking through them. However apply caution and be very objective about their observations.


Finally,i'll say it's a very good book..One every woman should read..There's something to learn from it for everyone.I admired how Toke owned up to her own shortcomings and issues. I was expecting it to be all about Maje's wrongs, but it was mature of her to own up to her own faults that may have led to the breakdown of their marriage.I give her kudos,she has been through hell and back and is still standing tall.Many women would have committed suicide or acted rashly,but she kept her cool and didn't fuel the already flying rumours about her marital woes.
(pardon the typos, I just needed to say this real quick)
Please. Send. It to me

Toke was a teenager as at when she started dating Maje but she had dated some other guys before him; from Bidemi who'll buy her expensive stuffs, to Seun, the one that cruelly broke up with her in the club, where she now eventually met Maje.

I started reading last night and one of the major things I noted was it was a narrative that lacked transition she never quite led you on to what was coming next. Not a bad book much to learn from her experience but there was no real advice here it was just a story about the relationship and upsets with no holds barred with no real advice and way forward

Make she park well Abeg , which inspiration from Holy Spirit ? Na only u get broken home ! There is nothin to learn here .. Instead y 'all should read on those that have got a successful marriage nd learn one or 2 things from that ... !! Can a blind man lead a blid man ?

Exactly... I'll buy 10 Donald Trump books or nursery rhyme than Toke on becoming. It's like Kim Kardashian writes a book then everyone wants to read it. There's nothing to learn. Holy Spirit ko Fowl Spirit ni

Oga,let me hear word abeg! You know her name, not her Story..I read the book from kpali to kpali..I don't understand the hate.. Ever since I read the book,I've been feeling like hugging her!! She didn't act like she needed pity,she stated her faults and flaws, From the book you can see that she has always had the party spirit..
I like the fact that she didn't paint herself in a good light,she admitted to hitting her husband and quarrelling a lot..Toke has some huge balls mehn!! *drops mic*
