Maje Ayida, the estranged husband of media personality, Toke Makinwa, is 50 today and is thankful to God for the new milestone.
He wrote, “happiness doesn’t depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel towards what we have…50 years and counting! I cannot truly express my gratitude for life, for health, for family and friends. Thank you, Lord.
‘And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ~Romans 12:2″

Kemi FIlani recalls that Toke Makinwa was in 2020 sued over defamatory claims in a book she wrote and published titled “On Becoming” after both parties went their separate ways.
In the lawsuit filed against Toke, Maje stated that the book contained defamatory words, which was misleading and had subjected his personality to public ridicule.
The court has however asked the author, Toke to stop producing further copies of its book with the defamatory words in pages 54 and 83, adding that she was given 30 days from the day of the ruling, to delete and remove the defamatory words from unsold copies of the book in her custody.
Speaking at the court of law, Justice Ogunjobi of the Lagos State High Court at Tafawa Balewa Square, stated that after careful consideration of the evidence before the court, only the contents of page 54 lines 11-16 and page 83, Line 1 of the 1st defendants’ book qualified as Defamation of character.
Ruling in favor of Ayida, the Court awarded damages worth the sum of 500,000 Naira each to be paid by the 1st and 2nd defendants to any charity organization of the claimant’s choice, contrary to the N100m compensation for damages that were demanded initially by Maje.
