Maje Ayida, Toke Makinwa’s Ex-Husband, Breaks Silence on Battling Depression After Divorce

Maje Ayida, the ex-husband of Nollywood actress Toke Makinwa, recently spoke out about his battle with depression following their divorce. Ayida, a fitness entrepreneur, revealed that he fell into depression after their divorce was made public, leading to public criticism and shame.

He withdrew from society and even stopped going to work, losing business opportunities in the process. Ayida shared that he had to take accountability for his actions and be honest about the situation to overcome his depression, which lasted for a year.

The couple got married in 2014 but their marriage hit rock bottom in 2016. In 2017, Ayida sued Makinwa for defamation of character, and in November 2020, the Lagos State High Court ruled in his favor, granting damages and an injunction against Makinwa.
