Read excerpts from the interview after
the cut...
"To
be honest with you, I thank God everyday for the kind of man that I married. I
can't take that for granted. Marriage is a big deal and I wish a lot of young
people will take out time to really understand what marriage is all about. Even
me, what do I know? I have only been in it for about 8 months but I thank God
for the kind of person that he is. He is my support system. I think he kind of
likes what I do. So he is one of my biggest fans. Even when I forget certain
things, he is the one that is always pushing me, have you thought about this?
What about doing this? Why don't you try that? There is absolutely nothing that
I can't talk to him about. We are thinking of doing a lot of work together as
well hopefully in 2015".
On why they chose a surprise
wedding, Toke said;
"To
be honest with you, I can't understand it myself. I think it happened the way
it was meant to happen. If we didn't do it this way, I don't think it would
have happened till now. There was so much surrounding Toke and Maje's
union"
On why she thinks people were
interested in her personal life, she said
"I
honestly don't know. People seemed interested in it I guess. There was just so
much of both of us out there. The bible says all things work together for all
those that trust God. So at that point, for me, I could have broken up and
living my life and I was ready to be single again and I woke up one morning
again here I am, I am married. It happened the way it was supposed to happen.
That is the only way we could have done it"
On attending functions with her husband,
she explains:
"I
think it’s all about putting things into compartments and properly
compartmentalizing things because at the end of the day, he is an individual.
He has his own life. He is loving what he does and I am loving what I do and it
just works for both of us"
On how they balance their lives
as a couple being that she's very outgoing and her husband is private, Toke
said;
"It
has always been our personalities. He is amazing. He is a reserved person. I am
the feisty one. It works. We both can't be out there. We both can't have the
personality that I have. He is much older than I am as well. We just laugh
through everything that comes our way. There are times he follows me out. There
are times he attends some events that I have to make an appearance at. There
are times I literary have to beg him and he says you know what, just go. I am
tired I just want to tap some football at home and I go and I come back. And we
are always in communication. We are always talking.We are fine. It works for us”
Toke who describes herself as the
life of a party, says she gets paid for some of the event she attends
"Attending events is part of
work as well. I do get paid to attend some events. When you grow a brand and it becomes a solid brand, people will
what to associate with that and if they have some products or services that
they have that would align with your brand, they invite you to be part of it.
Just like people feel like you been at certain evenyts might also add some
glamour to it. I see it as work as well. I really don't go out like that, in
terms of having fun or chilling at home. I think I enjoy the fact that it's a
job and I am getting paid for it. I am the life of a party and that hasn't
changed. I love talking, I love to go out to listen to music and have a good
time. That's who I am and I am truly happy to be with someone who appreciates
that part of me. He loves it so no problem" she said
