Popular media personality Toke Makinwa recently shared some valuable advice for women about the importance of privacy in female friendships. Taking to Instagram, the well-known OAP emphasized that it’s crucial for women to safeguard their friends’ secrets—even from their own loved ones.
She encouraged women to understand that their partners aren’t always their friends’ confidants and that there are certain pieces of information that should stay private.
In her own words:
“I’ve got something very important to say but ladies, I’m going to eat you guys up on this video because it’s very important, so follow me as I go. My best friend contract is with you and I, not you plus your significant other. It breaks my heart to see many female friendships hit the rocks because of this mistake that a lot of us women make.”
“I understand that he’s your guy and you guys are best friends and he has to know everything that is going on but if you love your friends and you cherish your friendship, I believe protecting them should come second to none, including that man.”
