Toke Makinwa, a popular media personality, has expressed dissatisfaction with how she spent her twenties, claiming that she spent them chasing one man.
Makinwa recently spoke with Cocktails and Takeaways about her 20s and how her experiences influenced her.
She also believes that folks in their early to mid-20s should not marry because their primary goal at that age is self-discovery.
“I don’t think I liked my twenties. I don’t think I knew what I was doing. In my twenties, I was in love with one man. I spent my entire twenties following one man.
“If I could turn back the hands of time, I’m grateful that I am where I am. My experiences have shaped me.
“But I tell a lot of young people: You have no business in your early or mid-twenties getting married. Figure yourself out. Know you.
“At 22, why are you married at 22? If it works for you, I’m not knocking it. They say age is nothing but a number, and I agree. But I feel like, as women, we mature faster than the guys,” Makinwa said.
“You are not going to be the same person at 30. It’s just not possible. You are growing. You will grow into new things, new ideas, new personalities.
“You must be able to make room to accept who you are before bringing the burden of somebody else,” she added.
