All ye feminists in the house,I want you to get this straight before walking the Isle,it is a statistic that is well proven and validated. 95% of men will cheat at a point in time. 3% are thinking about how to go about it. The remaining 2% are either frigid,sadistic or overtly religious. Don't kill yourself over a man,just be happy.You can thank me later. |

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) 5 Likes 2 Shares |

BossLadyF:Toke makinwa clearly advertised her book on kemi filani blog just to get more sale.Y'all fell for it. The book is not for anyone to learn from it, its mainly to enrich her purse. Who are the next to write book to get more money: Tiwa Savage- she made a rong move going to pulse tv, it's should have bin a book Linda Ikeji- The book will be on how different men broke her heart. Toyin Aimakhu- Her book will be based on Seun Egbegbe I'm sure She'll make more cash than Toke. Rubbish 2 Likes |

I love toke a great deal but all this social media relationships is always full of drama and she knows tha but still sold her story to the public. Speaking of which everyone has a story to tell but then she cannot blame anyone for her marital failures but herself because everyone else saw it coming including maje himself but she was still desperately hanging because of the lie sold to ladies that time changes people or marriage changes them Toke should please move on and stop making maje still feel relevant in her LIFE 1 Like 1 Share |

queenfav: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 3 Likes 1 Share |

Abenitohposh:I am afraid, writing about her past marriage in a book should not have been the best option. People will only comment and pity you for some days as you have just done and you are left with your problem. She has just chased any interested man that will like to marry her with her book . No man will like someone that will write about his weakness or strength in a public book. If I was the man I will sue her ass for libel 2 Likes |
