‘Men are the real gold diggers,’ Toke Makinwa claims

Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa, has sparked controversy again by speaking on the topic of ‘gold digging’. The fashion influencer, while speaking in a new episode of her podcast, claimed that men are the real gold diggers.

She spoke about the term and how it has been used to shame women who marry wealthy men. Toke also claimed that more men marry women with generational wealth, stressing that they also marry for money.

Toke however noted that she do not hate men for securing their futures through marriage.

“People are constantly always insulting women for knowing what they want. You sit with all these podcasts as men, or you air your thoughts as some men and say women are dating men for money, women are doing this. The other gender are the biggest gold diggers in the world. They marry generational wealth, and they do it without shame. And I don’t hate on them. If my brother comes to me with two ladies and asks which one to marry, I will advise him to marry the one from a good financial background,” she stated.
