“Why marriage isn’t a do or die thing for me” – Actress Toyin Adewale
Nollywood actress Toyin Adewale has shared her stance on whether marriage is a do-or-die thing for her.
While speaking with her colleague, Biola Bayo, on her podcast, she said it isn’t a do-or-die thing for her, especially when there is domestic violence. According to her, if there’s no violence and it’s just a misunderstanding, then she can’t leave her husband’s house.

The veteran revealed that she got married in January 1993 and welcomed Mayorkun in March 1993. She said she has been married for 33 years and is the gentle type.

“Marriage isn’t a do-or-die thing for me. I wouldn’t stay if he beats me. If there’s no violence and it’s just a minor misunderstanding, it’s normal. Why do I leave? Do I know what will happen where I am going? I got married with the determination of never leaving my marriage, provided there’s no violence.
I got married in January 1993 and had Mayowa in March 1993. I have been married for 33 years. I am the gentle one”.
Speaking about her career, Toyin said she found her way into acting and enjoys it. She said she began acting professionally in 1988 and her first pay was N5000.
“I just found myself in acting, and I enjoy doing it. I started acting in 1988. They paid me 5000 naira, I can’t forget. They gave us clothes, and we performed before the president. It was my first job that brought me to the limelight”.
She also spoke about her father, revealing that he is married to four wives, each of whom has one child. According to her, she is the lastborn.

“My father had four wives, and each wife had one child. I am the lastborn. He was a disciplinarian, so he fixed a lot for us. He bought his grave cloth, did his grave and all. He paid all the necessary dues to the churches and all and told them to sign so they wouldn’t stress us when he died”.

Alavin retracts viral allegation against Wizkid associate Godson, urges public to disregard video
Emmanuel Jakpa, popularly known as Alavin, has retracted a viral video linked to the controversy involving businessman and social media influencer, Uyi Godson Agho, popularly known as Godson, urging members of the public to disregard its contents.
Alavin’s statement comes days after Godson an associate of afrobeat star, Wizkid denied allegations that he defrauded social media influencer, Clement Akpobome Ogudu, popularly known as IsokoBoy (ISB), of N100 million, insisting that the matter was a business disagreement that had been misrepresented as fraud.
In a video statement released on Sunday, Alavin said the earlier recording he made on June 28, 2026, involving Godson did not reflect the true situation.
“The content of the video is not true. I hereby make this video as a rejoinder and urge the general public to disregard the earlier video being posted online by one Mr. Richie,” he said.
Alavin further clarified that the continued circulation of the earlier video by Richie was driven by a previous disagreement between Richie and Godson.
“Whatever Richie is posting and saying is out of jealousy and the issue he had previously with Godson,” he stated.
He also maintained that his rejoinder was made voluntarily, restating his continued friendship with Godson.
“I am not making this video under duress. We are all friends,” he added.
The development follows Godson’s petition to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, through his lawyer, C. C. Ezenwa, Esq., in which he denied defrauding IsokoBoy and described the dispute as arising from a clothing business allegedly valued at about N320 million.
He also alleged that IsokoBoy, Alavin, and others confronted him at his residence, recorded him while he was unclothed, and later circulated the footage online with claims that he had defrauded his business partner.
