Makinwa, known for her outspoken views, took to her X (formerly Twitter) handle to address the stigma surrounding single life.

She wrote, “Let that rubbish behaviour of thinking that single people are miserable, lonely or sad be left in 2024. There’re so many people in horrible situations (whatever you call it) that secretly wish they were alone, so let people be.”

The media personality emphasised that many single individuals lead fulfilling and content lives, countering the widespread notion that happiness is intrinsically linked to marriage.

Her statement resonates with many who have long been pressured by societal expectations to pair up, regardless of their personal happiness.

Makinwa’s words encourage people to embrace their status and challenge the norms that equate being single with unhappiness.
