In response, Aṣàké made a cryptic post on social media, stating that it is impossible to please everyone and that he had sent huge sums of money to his father despite the claims. Soon after, a woman identifying as Aṣàké’s aunt also spoke out, urging him to take responsibility for his alleged 11-year-old daughter and to build a house for his father.

Following public pressure from friends and online commentators, Aṣàké’s father recently revealed that the issues have been resolved. In his words:

"We are no longer fighting. Aṣàké has promised to buy me a new house and cover my medical expenses. He has never denied his child, and he has now committed to taking full responsibility for her. Everything is under control."

Toke Makinwa Opens Up About Life at 40

In a candid revelation, Toke Makinwa, the popular Nigerian media personality, opened up about the challenges and realities of her life at 40. Despite being single and childless, she expressed no regrets about her life choices, emphasizing that regret is a heavy burden no one should carry.

Reflecting on her journey, she stated:

"What happened, happened. You didn’t know better then; now you do, so do better. Just move on."

She also addressed societal expectations placed on women regarding marriage and motherhood, making it clear that she refuses to be pressured by traditional norms.

One of her biggest lessons over the years, she shared, is that some friendships naturally expire—and that’s okay. She explained:

"It doesn’t mean they’re bad people. It doesn’t mean I’m a bad person. If I’m a villain in their story, that’s fine too. I don’t even correct stories about me anymore. If you ask me what happened between me and someone, I just say, ‘Whatever they told you is what happened.’ I’m not explaining myself."

Her perspective is a powerful reminder that life should be lived without unnecessary regrets, and that embracing growth, acceptance, and self-contentment is key to happiness.
