Toke Makinwa Reveals Why She Stopped Buying Gifts for Men

Toke Makinwa, a controversial media personality and actress, disclosed on her podcast "Toke Moments," featuring guest Beauty Tukura, that she ceased buying gifts for men she dates due to a painful experience with an older boyfriend during her university years. Makinwa recounted how she spent her semester's school fees to celebrate his birthday, taking him to an Italian restaurant in Victoria Island, where he ordered lavishly.

Upon returning home, she discovered another woman in his house, which deeply traumatized her. This incident led her to stop purchasing gifts for men altogether, as she felt betrayed and heartbroken by the experience of investing in someone who was unfaithful.
