Toke Makinwa Clashes With Omokri Over Post On 'Bleached Divorcee Slay Queens'

 Controversial media personality Toke Makinwa has attacked Reno Omokri, a former presidential candidate for "shaming" divorcees in his post where he hailed Maryam, a wife of Nigeria's former Head of State Ibrahim Babangida.

Omokri, known for dishing relationship and marriage advice, on Monday, November 23, described Maryam as the most beautiful woman, adding that the media should project such attribute than exalting "divorcees with bleached skin and surgically enhanced body."

"Maryam Babangida was one of the world’s most beautiful women ever. We need the media to project more natural beauties like Maryam, instead of force-feeding youths ‘stunning’ photos of bleached divorcee slay queens, with surgically enhanced bodies!," he wrote on Twitter.

This did not sit well with Makinwa, a divorcee, who took to the micro-blogging platform to throw shades at the former presidential aide.

In a series of tweets, she wrote "Wow, at your age? Your wife and kids must be cringing for you, such an embarrassment. “Divorced” is nothing to shame anyone for, life happens. People like you are the reasons why a lot of people stay in unhealthy situations and lose their dignity and In some cases their lives," she tweeted.

"You can celebrate a version of beauty without putting another down, you don’t have to meddle in women’s business too. If you have a daughter I hope she gets the courage to never deal with a man as uncouth as you, stop with the misogyny. @renoomokri"

"I don’t care about shots intended my way, what I do care about is the group of women you singlehandedly insulted with your “Divorcee” comment, to divorce is not a crime, every divorced person has survived something, and sometimes getting a divorce is the only option they have."

"Enough with the divorce shaming of Anyone, I don’t see a divorced man being shamed for living his life after his failed marriage, people like that clown are probably in unhealthy marriages too. God forbid I marry a man who tweets that kind of garbage, sighhh."

"Everyone has a divorced person that they know, it can happen to anyone, that we divorced and alive should be encouraged, people are dying each day living in unhealthy situations and while I’m not advocating for divorce, if leaving is what you need to do, do it in peace."

"You cannot survive a bad marriage, survive a mental breakdown and then now have to deal with judgement from people who have not walked a mile in your shoes, it should not be encouraged. Someone’s journey does not have to be your cup of tea, that’s ok but you must respect it."
