Toke Makinwa's Dress For Her Book Lunch was Her Choice, for Herself, not for You.

             

A Nigerian life, is an African Life and the last time i valued, Africa is a country with norms and cultural values. In Africa, there are a stipulated ways of doing literally everything and going out of that line just makes one, and whatever he/she does inappropriate.

Popular Lagos OAP and socialite, Toke Makinwa, finally released her latest book, “On Becoming“, in which she shared the heartbreaking story of her break-up with her estranged husband, Maje Ayida, in a star-studded launch in Lagos on Sunday night.

The celebrity television host who shared her incredible survival story, and private and intimate details of her love life in the book, took to her Instagram page and posted a photo before the event which shows her wearing a slit-open dress which many people criticised.

Toke's dress is moderate compared to what some of our hollywood sweethearts and songstresses wear to events and awards. The likes of  Rihanna (our Riri), Beyonce , Angelina Jolie, Nicki Minaj etc wear unthinkable dresses or "see throughs" and yet we adore them and defend them, using the word "they are into show biz"

You that takes your time to write about Toke, didn't you consider her kind of profession and what she feels that it would take her to get to her expectations? Good!

Everyone has a way of reaching their Zenith and that's just one of it. She felt that was lit for her occasion and i am sure her guests enjoyed her that way...lol

So, lets just focus on our own lives and life's issues. Do you have a book yet? or your social media criticisms are all you've got?.  why don't you LUNCH something tomorrow(even if it's kids novel) and then show us the APPROPRIATE way of doing things using yourself as an example.

Yes, this is a challenge and i hope to see how that would be handled by you @_bebe107 and her co critics
