Popular media personality, Toke Makinwa has come out to rant about the patriarchal attitude of most Africans.

She recently revealed this on Twitter via a thread, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to Toke, the spirit of patriarchy in Africa makes her so sick, and people should stop saying that women who go from dating one man to the other will have questions to answer when they get to heaven.

She added that the earlier we start asking about what would happen to the men who date several women when they get to heaven, the better for us all.

Her words, ”The spirit of Patriarchy is so strong in Africa it makes me sick how can you say women who go from man to man will have questions to answer on judgment day, what of men who go from woman to woman? They’ll be welcomed into the pearly gates with open arms? Help me understand.”

“When it is a woman she is promiscuous, when it is a man, he is living it up.”

“Fornication is no respecter of gender and you can’t judge someone cos you sin different or you are of a different gender.”
