I thought his ex-girlfriend got pregnant for him while he and Toke were still married? Isn't that enough proof of adultery?
If she was treated for a sexually transmitted infection while they were married, it should be in her hospital records unless she went to backyard chemist. The date of treatment can easily be reconciled with the dates they were still together. Since there's proof of his adultery, nothing says he's not the one to have infected her with std.
I don't think she lied about what he did at all, unless he denies the paternity of his child with another woman.

Unless there was a contract of non disclosure in their marriage, he has no case

She invaded people's privacy without asking for their permission in telling her story... She didn't realize that she could be charged for defamation and slander.. Besides, no one forced her to remain in a toxic relationship
damn,and that word toxic kinda, and what's your stand.

Maje had stated that 6months into the marriage,they knew it wasn't working out and had separated. madam signed separation papers but choose to stay for face. hence knowing about all the sidechicks but choosing now that the rest of the world knew to play victim and of course the primary aim- make money.

This is class from Maje though. he didn't jump in but waited for her to make money and he build his case well.

Very well said. I admire the way you reasoned it.
The only thing that surprises me a bit was when she celebrated her bday and Maje surprised her with his presence. She even gave him a hug and the pics were all over SM. This was just mere months before her book launch. That ain't right.
That wasn't Maje. That was her new boo

If Maje doesn't like or agree with what Toke wrote in her book, he should go ahead and write his own book or shut the fvck up. Threatening court action in this manner is just petty and unnecessary.

Google the profile of the two legal firms handling this case in Nigeria and the UK, then come back and tell me if you have a chance with an argument like this. This guy is not playing and Kindergarten arguments won't work. BTW hope you know the constitution states right to privacy and private life as a basic right?

Toke equally has a right to her privacy, and can equally choose to discuss what happened in her marriage.
She wrote a memoir about her life. She's not living alone on the moon, and has day to day interactions with other humans. I haven't read her book and frankly, I really am indifferent about her life.
Most of what I know about her book and her marriage is what's written on gossip sites. I undrrdtand she's an OAP but I don't even know what station she's on. I'm not a fan or whatever. Just a neutral person.
The book wasn't based on her marriage alone, though people choose that part to feed on.
Obasanjo wrote memoirs, mentioned names and appalling actions of others based on his perceptions.
Many people who worked with princess Diana have all written memoirs about their lives, but she always played a major part of their books. Their perceptions of alleged affairs etc. That doesn't necessarily call for a law suit.
Because you have high profile names handling your case does not necessarily mean your suit is actionable.
All a judge is there to do is look at FACTS, and be fair in his decisions.
Celebrities abroad before getting married always write up a contract, and part of it is non disclosure. If peradventure they decide to divorce, their partners are not allowed by law to say anything about them and their time together. That's a written contract, and its binding.

Its really their business if either of them decides to honor/dishonor the sanctity of their marriage. I thought it was the husband that cheated though, unless I'm missing something? Were there allegations of infidelity about her?
If they decide to mend fences, good for them. I'm still trying to understand the image of Toke you say she painted of herself.
From the gist about the book, she lost her parents, she had low self esteem and she got married to a man who impregnated his ex.
Before her book even came out, the whole world already knew about his affair and his new baby. I think I even saw pictures of the baby somewhere before her book even came out. So what's the image she's painting? Please, let's all be objective and not be sentimental about things.
Many people go through what's she's gone through, and even more sef. The only difference is that their own book about their lives might be even more interesting, but nobody will still buy it.

l have taken my time to read all the postings. Many write from a position of ignorance of what takes place in a law court. Many write not on facts but sentiments from the point of view of who they like- either Maje or Toke. Libel cases are hard to prove and usually take years. The case will crawl from Federal High court to Appeal Court and Supreme court. Every little legal point will travel this route while the main case will be suspended at the Federal High Court. The person suing must prove libel. Only first names were used in the book. How many Maje's and Anita's do we have in Nigeria and worldwide? No court grants unreasonable requests. Most of his requests are unreasonable. l am curious as to why he is not asking for damages? Why no mention of sex tapes? As l am writing Toke and Maje are still legally married. There is no evidence he filed for divorce, Toke did. He has a child outside marriage which proves adultery. The normal action he should have taken is to write his own book to counter hers and expose her lies. Alternatively he could sue as he has done and ask for damages. For those who noted Maje attended Toke's birthday. He did not. lt is Toke's rumoured boyfriend based in the US that surprised her with his presence. He bears a striking resemblance to Maje. You can google this. lt is on the internet.

With all the facts you have stated you have failed to show one basic fact. Is marriage a premise for taking away ones privacy rights? Agreed we all have our right to privacy, can we then say because Toke was married to Maje, so she has a right to infringe on his privacy?

Even though I'm not privy to most of the details, I know smart people exclude actual names when writing about details like that, she has goofed on this one. I'll wait to see what the judge has to say.

The truth is, if she lied about their relationship, the judge will have a lot to say. But if what she wrote about him in her book regarding their life together is true, then what is the whole self-righteous indignation about?
Was he defamed? Was his character assassinated? Was she lying on him when she said he had affairs with other women?
It is folly for one to deceive oneself, even if you succeed in deceiving the whole world. One can only remain true to self.
Also of note is the fact that it was already on the major blogs around that Maje had impregnated someone else even long before her book came out. She only just repeated what everyone knew, but now from her own perspective..

Meanwhile, regarding the invasion of privacy. It can be argued either way. Toke was telling her own lifestory, shes not a third party.
It would be interesting to know the law in Nigeria about such anyway.
