Media personality Toke Makinwa has once again shared her perspective on relationships and financial compatibility.
In a recent episode of the MENtality with Ebuka podcast released on July 3, 2026, she made the comment while discussing gender dynamics with hosts Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and Banky W, alongside Toolz.
Makinwa stated, “I’m a big believer of ‘date within your wage’ and within your category. That way there will not be stories that touch.”
The remark came during broader talks on emotional maturity, communication, and avoiding mismatched expectations in partnerships.
She emphasized practicality in dating to reduce complications arising from differing financial capacities.
This aligns with her earlier advice. In March 2019 on her Toke Moments platform, Makinwa had urged people to “date within your means.”
She noted then that Cinderella stories are rare and respecting one’s wage leads to less drama and unrealistic expectations.
Makinwa added that if someone cannot contribute meaningfully, they should step back from those hustling independently.
The latest clip has circulated widely on social media platforms including X and Instagram.
Users have reacted with mixed views, some praising the realism while others question its implications for love versus status.
No major new scandal has emerged directly from this statement. However, Makinwa has faced past backlash on relationship topics, including comments on marriage and personal choices.
In the podcast, the conversation explored women’s expectations around reconciliation, vulnerability, and shared responsibilities.
Makinwa and Toolz engaged actively, challenging certain male viewpoints on emotional labor.
Observers note her consistent stance on compatibility.
As reactions continue online, the discussion reflects wider debates on financial equality in modern relationships.
Makinwa has not issued further statements on the clip as of now.
