Toke Makinwa Shares Red Flags She’d Never Ignore in a Relationship

Nigerian media personality and entrepreneur Toke Makinwa has recently shared some candid insights into the red flags she would never ignore in a relationship. In a recent interview with Madame Joyce, Makinwa opened up about the behaviors that would make a man “never hear from her again,” offering valuable advice for women navigating the complexities of relationships.

Makinwa emphasized that any man who constantly speaks ill of his ex-partner would immediately lose her interest. “If I meet a guy that runs his ex down, he’s never going to hear from me again,” she said. The media personality explained that a man who frequently talks about his ex is likely not over her, and such a dynamic can be detrimental to a new relationship.

Additionally, she warned against men who make comparisons to their past relationships. According to Makinwa, if a man is always referring to his previous partner, it shows a lack of emotional closure, which could lead to issues in a new relationship. “If I meet a guy who makes comparisons to where he’s coming from, he’s never going to hear from me,” she added.

Makinwa also gave a strong caution to women about the danger of falling for men who trash-talk their exes. She explained that while it may seem appealing at first, a man who badmouths his past relationship could very well do the same to his current one. “Your vagina is not made of gold, what he did to his ex, he can do times two to you,” she said, offering a sobering reminder to women to remain vigilant.

Reflecting on the tendency to dismiss warning signs, Makinwa advised against the “it can never be me” mindset. Many people believe they are immune to certain experiences until they find themselves in similar situations. Makinwa explained, “I never say it can never be me because at 6pm that night… life would catch you.” She acknowledged how quick people are to judge others but cautioned that when the tables turn, they often find themselves in the same situations they once criticized.

Her message is a powerful reminder for women to stay true to their standards and to recognize red flags early in a relationship. By doing so, they can avoid heartbreak and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.
