What Nigerian men should know, being romantic isn’t about money” says Toke Makinwa

When asked by Nigerian Tribune if Nigerian men are romantic ..Toke said ‘
“I think they could do with a little bit of help, but on the average they try. People need to understand that being romantic doesn’t equate with money, you don’t have to spend money to be romantic. Nigerian men believe that in other to be romantic, money has to be involved or maybe it is the women that make them feel that way, but I think romance is all about the little things and the joy that they bring.
Who is your kind of man or you are one of those who love to date men in limelight?
A God-fearing guy, a guy that is fun, someone with a kind heart, just like the guy I married

Marriage? Not in my Agenda Again says Kate Henshaw

Nollywood Actress, Kate Henshaw who has been in the industry for a long time and still waxing strong, in a chance encounter with Tope Olukole, speaks on issues in the movie industry and her personal life, among others.
Excerpts
It seems you don’t regret your divorce, because you always have this cheerful look?
It’s God. Looking back at my life and where I came from, I never even thought I would be an actress. I never even thought I would have an opportunity to meet people, to be a role model. So, it’s not for me to feel self-pity. I’m grateful to God every single day. I choose to be happy. I am a happy person. Someone encouraged me with these words yesterday: “Every problem you have will resolve and dissolve.”
So, my divorce is not the end of life and my God has given me cheer and joy. That explains why I am always happy and cheerful. No regrets.
Will you remarry?
I am not sure about remarrying but I will love again. I’m a lover, not a fighter. I’m only going to be very choosy. I don’t know about marriage, but, maybe, love.
You’ve kept your daughter away from the limelight. Is this deliberate?
Yes. You want them to kidnap my daughter? When they see her picture, then they will know who she is. I remember somebody sent a card to me through her school and I was so surprised.
They just dropped it on her desk and I was wondering how the person knew my daughter attends that school. Should she decide to step into the limelight later, that would be her call, not mine. I’ve managed to keep her away and I’m sure I’ve done a good job. Now, she is not even in the country and it’s better she schools there.
Your divorce came as a shock to a lot of people. Why did you take that decision?
Shock? Have you not heard that Seal and Heidi (Klum) have divorced? Haven’t you seen people who have been married for 20 to 25 years and divorced? I’m not perfect; no one is. We all have our low moments. It doesn’t mean I’m a failure. Everybody goes through bad patches in life. Life must go on, whether we like it or not. It’s always better to part under good circumstances than for someone to be in jail or die, or to be hurling insults at each other. There is no need for that.
What is the secret of your looks?
I don’t fix artificial nails. I’m back to natural nails. I just put on some long-lasting polish. I fixed my nails for over 10 years but I’m tired of it now. I want to be healthy in my old age. And I would never let relaxer touch my hair again. All these are the secret of my looks.
