Maje Ayida slams ex Toke Makinwa and her publishers with N100m lawsuit over her book

Guess the battle line has officially been drawn. A few weeks after sending a letter of demand asking his estranged wife, Toke Makinwa to retract the words in her tell-all memoir, On Becoming, to stop the sale of the book, copies that haven't been sold should be retrieved and for her to tender an unreserved apology in several national dailies, which Toke, of course, ignored, Maje Ayida has instituted legal action against Toke, asking for N100million in damages over the book he claims contains defamatory words that do not represent his person.


According to The Cable, Maje's lawyers began legal proceedings at Lagos High Court on February 7th. Toke's publishers, Kachifo Limited are also being sued alongside Toke.

In his suit, Maje asked the court to donate any damages awarded him in the case to four charities which he will pick himself.

Do you guys think Maje can win this battle?

Linda, we understand that Toke is your friend, but the way you are blogging this their matter is so unprofessional...

Why don't you be Toke's lawyer? What's the need to ask us if we think he can win when you have already condemned him in so many ways...

There was a time when you can blog without sending anyone, now you look at your friends and take their side

by d grace of God, he ll win. Am with him on this. and I m calling all men with balls to support this guy on this,,the same way d lady was supported by female folks

he will definitely win the battle, he has been a very patient person and it is very wrong for Toke to use tarnish his name. everyone has got their part to play in every relationship either it goes happily ever after or the other way, am sure if he were to write a tell all too, we will all be left speechless cuz some of us know of Toke her philandering ways and even when she was married, i never saw her as a good wife...her pictures were everywhere from one event to another, where was d time to cater to d needs of her husband....she just has to face d music with that stupid useless book she wrote, mind u, some of us have been through worse

#LordSandra said...

He is mad. Was any of what Toke said a lie? He's very very stupid.

Of course he will ! When a marriage is over it's over there is no need for a book of one's character to be damaged in the process.... it's over toke you can't gain fame by destroying one's name! If all ur friends come out and open your dirty yansh of how u dey fuck for 100k the list go plenty!

He must be crazy if he thinks he's gonna win this one. #Psycho

Chinyelu Okenyeka said...

Yes he will win it over and over and toke will be put to shame. It's Defamatory we are talking about

Gothamist said...

I PRAY he wins and in all ramifications, he should. I see Toke all over joining the pity party train but who ever stopped to consider this guy and her shit he had to put up with?

AAA said...

They still both have a thing for each other they are both just pretending. Hopefully a make up sex would end the court case, because I doubt Toke will ever get over Maje the way she is taking her book global.Soon Oprah would call her then it would become an issue of sharing the proceed of the book

AOI said...

Yes, he can.

Linda,be careful. You should know that a case in court should not be discussed in public. However, Maje may win simply because Toke mentioned real names- MAJE & ANITA. She should have used fictitious names hence she went wrong & may lose the case.Toke wasn'the properly advised.She claimed Anita also was infected with STI??? Why? Who advised this girl to write this book Biko?

There's really no need for Maje to file a suit against her, time heal all wounds. Life has a way of paying back one's deeds in their own coin. He should forget and move on.

U are obviously an illiterate, if all the men u fucked an broken up with come out to talk how ur toto smells like gutter water will u like it? Why not some of we women so bitter . A relationship ends? It doesn't matter whether I I true or false, she know he won't be petty like her to publicly expose her an that's why she was I to him, if na person like my husband she marry, he gist go reach Australia an he go add jara sef. When she dey do olosho up and down she no know know sh no worth anything, she should stop being pained, he dump u for a reserved woman okay, move the fuck on.

Why are you so bitter ? Since when did it become a crime to talk about your past ? If it were Beyoncé who wrote a song your daft self would be all over the place in excitement. Nigerians are hypocrites, it's time to start exposing these useless men , so others can start acting right

Mama Dee said...

Both of you are very stupid, loot at you praising a dog of a man , you think it's okay for a man to put a woman through all that and publicly shame her by getting a side piece pregnant, he deserves all that and more . Toke please release a part two , my God has got your back

Mama dee said...

You are a Hating ass bitter bitch , get a life and stop hating on a woman who is striving to make an impact in today's society, that's why you'll always be a low life . I don't even know toke personally but your only excuse for hating is because you just enjoying being bitter . Get a life ..... BITCH

C'mon Maje you are too big for this. Just allow her to continue ranting. can u see frustration written all over her.Move on with your life and family. That how some women play.

HE MUST BE DESPERATE FOR MONEY. Let him write his own book then but unfortunately, he is barely literate. Nobody will buy it to read so he may have to upload online for free.

What a loser! I actually admired him a little when he held his peace. It showed a dignified remorse.

This is an autobiography. Of course she mentioned names including hers. My dear, there is no lawsuit here or else, El Rufai and Obasanjo would have visited Kirikiri first for their own tell-all autobiography. His only recourse is to tell his own side.

By claiming she defamed him then he is actually admitting his actions were unbecoming of a gentleman...hopeless individual.

She should demand her legal fees back from him after she wins the case.

Don't be fooled by deep make up. It's a facade. Lots of women u see looking hot and cute everyday are just using that to hide their pain. .... At the end of the day he was the one who disrespected their marriage.. If he knew he wasn't happy in it he should have moved on quietly.. End the marriage but he got someone else pregnant... Have you thought of what that did to her self esteem... Have you thought of the fact that he was sleeping with her and some other girl unprotected at the same time??? If that girl was so important to him since his wife was too busy being in the media's face why is he not married to her?.

You cannot turn a dog into a husband and vice versa..Beauty is vain, character is everything. Maje, Toke, Anita. All of you behave like people who have no advisers. I hope evryone heal from this mess. Maje it is time to grow up and reconnect with your wife. Anita, the other woman, you deserve love and respect, Take your child and move on. Toke your rebound relationship is not love because it is obvious that you are still attached to husband. Bringing his dirty laundry to the public is not the solution. I hope everyone forgive each other and do what is right. I feel pity for everyone because maje bad decision has cost him and everyone else. Men this should be a lesson that once you are married, you must do away with exes and past habits.Marriage is not a joke, women can tolerate certain habit when you are dating them, but when they become your wife it is a different story.
