Toke Makinwa opens up on Maje Ayida split: ''I can't sit here and tell you I’m completely whole''

Toke Makinwa is opening up about her breakup with Maje Ayida back in 2015.

"For those who feel I haven't spoken about my marriage, you know what happened last year,'' the 33-year-old TV personality said in her new Vlog. ''It is with good reason. I remember I told you guys that I will eventually talk about it but I feel like I want to talk about it from a rational point and not an emotional stance because it is tough. If you’ve ever been through a separation, heartbreak or whatever, you know how difficult it is. And this was very public and so I went through a lot of stages and I’m still going through it.

''I can’t sit here and tell you I’m completely whole or this doesn’t affect me anymore. I still feel somewhat shy, I’m trying to come out of my shell about it because I mean you share your life with me and I feel it’s a great disservice to not even talk about it. So in due time, just know I’m going through the process & every week I come here I smile, we connect that doesn’t mean I don’t have my own issues or bad days. It’s just that I have chosen not to be a victim. I’ve chosen to just rise above it and just keep rising."Makinwa added.
