Toke Makinwa, the popular Nigerian media personality, has challenged the popular assumption that single individuals are lonely and sad.

Countering the widespread ideology that people’s happiness is tied to being married, the media personality stated that many single individuals lead content and fulfilled lives.

Speaking on her X handle, she called for a mindset shift as the New Year 2025 approaches.

She wrote; “Let that rubbish behaviour of thinking that single people are miserable, lonely or sad be left in 2024.

“There’re so many people in horrible situations (whatever you call it) that secretly wish they were alone, so let people be.”

“Beats me how some people think that every single person is lonely, it’ll shock you how content and happy single people are.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to do life with someone but if you don’t find your own purpose you can be with someone and still be lonely.”
