Legal separation documents surface as Maje Ayida employs top lawyers in Nigeria and in the UK

This is a mail that was just sent to my inbox. Read below...
A drastic turn of the tide is imminent, following the emergence of incontrovertible evidence strongly indicating that Toke Makinwa’s account in her book “On Becoming” is not all there is to know about events leading up to her separation from her erstwhile husband Maje Ayida and that her book is nothing but an exaggerated fabrication.
This most recent development has come to the fore on account of damning revelations discovered proving that Maje Ayida and Toke Makinwa were legally separated 6 months into the marriage.

The leading defamation law firm in the UK, Carter Ruck, lawyers to top figures like Elton John, Simon Cowell, Chelsea Football Club and The State of Qatar have recently taken up Maje Ayida as one of their clients and in a warning letter addressed to Toke Makinwa on the 23rd of December 2016 highlighted a number of excerpts from the book that were untrue, specifically quoting as follows:

“… We highlight the fact that our client requested a legal separation from you within 6 months of your wedding to him in January 2014, when it became clear that the marriage was breaking down. A separation agreement was formally signed by you in July 2014…”

“It is therefore well documented that our client and you had agreed to separate by July 2014 (a matter which the book signally fails to record), and that this was, self-evidently far more than ‘’teething’’ difficulties as the book misleadingly describes the circumstances at the time”

Also, Heading the legal front in Nigeria is Kemi Pinhero SAN, whose firm has also served Toke Makinwa a letter, corroborating the issues raised by Carter Ruck letter and specifically demanding among other things that she:

“Withdraw from circulation all copies of the book and take immediate steps to call in all copies of the book already distributed and deliver up same at the place to be agreed upon by our client for destruction”

“Retract or cause to be retracted the said published words and tender an unreserved apology to our client by publishing the said apology in one full page insertion in three national dailies to wit: ThisDay, The Guardian and Punch Newspaper and on all your social media platforms including Instagram, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook”

Further stating that failure to comply with all of the demands will result in the commencement of legal action.

Wawuu! This is getting more interesting.
When that book came out, I said it there are always 3 sides to a story, her account, his account and the truth.
Let's see how it goes down.

Ghen Ghen
where are all the warriors
Come and defend the lying toke makinwa, whom I said earlier had a book filled with holes and false dates.
We should learn to stop being biased,as this doesn't help women who have real marital issues from this junkie seeking attention and stylishly failing to mention her own contributions to be breakdown of the marriage.
Its high time we vet certain claims by certain people, so we don't miss the real issues

If I were Toke, I'll get a full page on ten national dailies just to tell him to go to hell.

I hope she would stop going on about it now. If marriage is not working, move on. It was evident that he did not love you from the start. There is always two sides to every story.

Ghen ghen wonder what toke will say to defend herself

WOW ! Hope this lady ain't go ruin herself more than she has already done. We sit back and know what she is doing is cheap stunt for underserving reward despite all the noise she is making to distract and patronize majority of the people.

Linda remember your comments, purchases of copies of the book,your donations as you now tend to want to milk the situation to draw traffic.

I have been waiting with baited breath to see if Maje was acquiescing, now he is up in defense of his reputation and in a big way, Toke oya naa, prove all you have written. Mtchew Nigerian/African Kim KArdashian.

This Maje is talking about asking for separation in 2014.... He has forgotten about his public apology in 2015.... https://www.bellanaija.com/2015/07/maje-publicly-apologizes-to-toke-makinwa-it-is-indefensible-and-i-am-sorry/

I like Toke but as a lawyer, I said it earlier. U do t take another person life and write about it such as tarnishing the person's personality. She should have consulted a lawyer before writing such. If she must have written. It should have been as a fiction novel where names are changed and not linked to anybody. There are lawyers that can use that book and tear her apart legally, sue her for all she is worth. She needs top lawyers now to help her out.

Waiting dey worry this two people self bcus una two marry now una turn modakeke and Ile Ife WAR , I beg make una park well jor#WEREPES

What oh! Anita got pregnant after Toke had signed the letter stating they want to be separated? Then why is Toke saying he cheated if they had been separated all this time? Toke really needs to apologize to Maje and Anita!!!! The marriage, ended before Anita got pregnant!!!!

I will comment later when everyone has commented..

I think Toke flogged this matter a little too much. Made it seem like Maje is a mass murderer instead of someone that broke her heart. She just kept on milking the situation

And the war just begun.

Yeeeeeeeeeees! This made my day..i could remember Aunty LINDA hailing Toke on her one sided story..she was like go! go! Toke Tokstar!.....I just hope you'd come out now and still give her a go ahead..Sometimes it's only right we hear from the both parties involved in a conflict before throwing our judgment..I JUST HOPE YOU LEARN FROM THIS @AUNTY LINDA...It's not all about been a feminist,it's all about knowing what's right...BUCKLE UP MA...the way you judge things here aint right,all you ought to do here is post and let people comment...#ONLYREALMENACT

Good for you toke!I guess you underestimated Maje. You are in for it this time!!!

Anonymous said...

I knew it.

NEVER, I repeat, NEVER!!! take a womans side of the story alone. They are very emotional and assume a lot, forget a lot and make up stories a lot, to fill up spaces they cant explain.

Their stories are always sweeter and whenever a story is that sweet, its fake.

Good one, Toke!
Ignore the ignorant coward in the person of your ex

Good for her, if every woman goes about writing defamatory and derogatory statements about men that hurt them will it be okay? Ur own is even different sef that he didn't want to marry u, u forced urself on him and u still wrote such about him, na by force?

She not only defamed Maje, she defamed Anita too, that one should sue her join.

Ihale ni eleyi ooo. She should have gotten legal advice before publication. Not to worry, just get your own legal team. It is money that will suffer! Sterling lo ma jiya re! She should have married him in the UK for starters! E for don do gani!

Na Wa Oh! If it is true, Toke better get a very influential person to negotiate with these people oh and since she made a lot of money, give them 50percent.

What they signed was a Judicial separation document not divorce document. Judicial Separation is usually for two years during which the family court gives the couple the chance to think over their decision of Divorce and try to settle their issues, but where it fails, the couple can file for divorce.
Judicial Separation still ties the couple to each before the law.

Also, Miss Toke reserves the right to write a Memoir, nothing can change this fact.

Thanks

All this pity party for Made; he wasn't forced to marry her. One day we heard that she left him while dating when it seemed like he wasn't serious with the relationship, the next day we hear they were married. He was either weak or selfish; or both.

I hail Tiwa and Tbliz. They are stronger human beings. I pray that God will heal all the pain.

how will she return the copy that i am looking at right now on my computer screen? ta comot from there, onye ara fucklicant Maje, aka sex with many women inc. mtcheew. just grow balls and ask her for your own share of proceeds from the book. afterall it was your salacious story that gave her ghe audience.

Anonymous said...

Thank you! A lot of people also seem to forget that the scandal of their broken marriage was all over news blogs long before the book came out! He suffered public ridicule at that time (so did toke!).. and he gave a public apology admitting his guilt! He just mad she's moved on and is making money

Did Maje meet Toke a virgin?
