Ex husband of media personality and influencer, Toke Makinwa, Maje Ayida, has opened up on how depression took over him after their very publicized divorce
While Sharing his testimony at a church in London, Maje said the divorce not only left him depressed,
but also caused him to become ashamed, paranoid, lost business and almost checked out of life
“I went through a divorce that was very publicised… and that left me feeling very alone,” he said. “I was really ashamed of my situation… I went into hiding.”
“I lost the essence to even get up in the morning… what am I getting up for? Everyone already feels a certain way about me,” he confessed.
He said things got so bad that he became paranoid, believing everyone was talking about him whenever he stepped out, which only made him retreat further into isolation.
“What’s sleep? I didn’t even know what that was. I had insomnia,” Maje shared. “The noise around me even though I was in silence was insane.”

Maje further shared that his turning point came when he made a bold decision to face his reality.
After doing research on how to escape that dark place, he said the biggest solution he found was accountability.
“I took the blame on myself… it made me feel worse at first but eventually helped me take practical steps.”
Maje and Toke tied the knot in 2014, but the marriage hit the rocks just two years after amid shocking cheating scandals.
In 2017, Maje even dragged Toke to court, suing her for ₦100 million
over her tell-all memoir “On Becoming”, which he claimed defamed his character.
By November 2020, a Lagos High Court ruled in his favour,
ordering that Toke and her publishers pay ₦500,000 each to a charity
and to also stop printing the book with the defamatory parts.
Meanwhile this testimony from Maje is drawing a lot of criticisms from social media users
Although it’s been a while, many still remembered vividly how much hurt He caused Toke Makinwa
They say He doesn’t have a right to feel depressed as he was the one who cheated and publicly showed off his baby mama
But what can we say? The past is over now and both parties have built a future before them
