"Dear Toke, I have known you longer than most people are aware off, I'll
put it at 15 years at least. You were recording a radio drama series at
Coolfm, in 2001, when I joined, and I watched you grow, powered by hard
work, and fueled by the passion and drive that only a strong woman can
posses. I met Maje who I also believe is a wonderful guy,
through you, and although you guys didn't work out, the strength to
forge ahead has not left either of you. Toke, as far as I am concerned,
you are one of Nigeria's foremost female broadcasters ( I hate the
acronym OAP with a passion). You are a trend setter, an online
entrepreneur and a formidable force, pioneering the paradigm shift,
leading to the emergence of a new order in Nigerian online
entertainment, this however, doesn't come without consequence.
I watched your vlog, and I understand that you were trying to express
thoughts, that many people nurse in the depths of their minds, hidden
far away from public scrutiny. You, on the other hand do not enjoy that
immunity, being a successful public figure. We Nigerians, are extremely
judgmental, and love to seek fuel for jungle justice, which has one way
or the other, migrated into our social media scene, where online courts
are quickly formed, justice is speedily given and executions are
promptly carried out, without any mercy whatsoever.
Most people do not have the cognitive depth to assimilate the message
you were trying to pass across and have employed their fertile
imagination to fuel it into becoming what it has evolved into.
God bless and keep you dear! ~FRZ".
