She condemned the violence that trailed the nationwide in the country, especially the looting and destruction of properties in parts of the country during the protest.
“Destroying properties and stealing from your fellow Nigerians who are passing through same hardship is not right at all. This is very sad,” she posted on her verified X handle this evening.
She added, “Misplaced anger. You will be alright”.
REACTIONS:
It’s been a war of words between Toke Makinwa and angry Nigerians on Twitter, and she’s really trying so hard to keep up with the pace of the attacks by returning the soured love.
“Baby girl, this is why you have tried IVF 2 times and non has worked.
This is why you have snatched so many of your “girlfriends” men and non has stuck by you; this consistent need to be a classist and a bully while you come from a low class yourself and understand the struggle” @anthony_fedora commented.
In a quick reaction, Toke Makinwa replied, “I hope you get to achieve half of what I have achieved, btw calling me childless will not change your current situation, no be me do you”.
“You no get sense at all. That is all you see since morning? Oloriburuku ni ye,” @IamTopsy4real wrote, and she replied, “your entire family is the Oloriburuku”.
“Lmaoooo I don’t expect you to tweet #EndBadGovernaceInNigeria for a government that payrolls you,” @nancygreeny replied Toke’s post,
And once again Toke responded, “Payrolls who? Why are you not in the streets protesting? Your Twitter fingers is where your misplaced anger starts and finishes. Ode”.
