Media personality Toke Makinwa responded firmly to a Twitter user who launched a personal attack on her, labeling her as childless for condemning the theft and destruction of property during the current nationwide protests.
Makinwa voiced her dismay on Twitter, currently referred to as X, following the escalation of peaceful demonstrations against hunger and hardship in Nigeria into violence, which led to property damage and looting.
In her tweet, Makinwa stated, “Destroying properties and stealing from your fellow Nigerians who are passing through the same hardship is not right at all. This is very sad.”
However, a Twitter user, Odumeje Catacrism, responded with a personal attack, referencing Makinwa’s alleged struggles with having a child and her past relationships.
He wrote:
“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 none 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”.
Makinwa swiftly replied, addressing the user’s hurtful comments. She emphasized that being called childless would not change her status and pointed out that she was not the cause of his problems. Makinwa also took a dig at the user, hoping he would achieve half of what she has accomplished in life.
In her words:
“I hope you get to achieve half of what I have achieved. Calling me childless will not change your current situation, no be me, do you?”.
