Journalist Takes a Jab At OAP Toke Makinwa Over Headies 2014 Outing


The poplar On-Air-Personality has been insulted by a columnist – Azuka Ogujiba of Thisday Newspaper over her display at the 2014 Headies Award. The Journalist did not see Toke’s hosting performance; fashion and her lifestyle welcoming.  (see more after cut)


The TV presenter/OAP was a co-host of the much talked about 2014 Headies that was held at the Eko Hotel last month flanking popular comedian, Basketmouth but the entertainment journalist - Azuka Ogujiba in her Saturday column on ThisDay Newspaper was filled with spleen against Toke Makina over her marring the show.

In Azuka’s column titled The Good, Bad and Ugly of 2014 Headies Awardsshe analyzed the awards generally and further went on to instigate a malicious attack on the Toke Makina pointing fingers at  her of almost 

Azuka Ogujiba Said:- “She almost cheapened and marred the show with her dry jokes and her "fake-ness" trying to be who she is not. I think Animashaun imagines his event as a huge joke that was why he opted for Toke. The fact that Toke presents "Trends" does not mean she has the capability to host such a big show and a large crowd. And the crowd was not merciful at all, as the audience made Toke realise she was not wanted on stage; nobody replied her calls or laughed at her jokes. They just wanted her out of the stage every time she came out in any of her horrible outfits which, as usual, were given to her free by designers, who also have fallen prey to her “fakeness

Azuka in her column further went on to criticize Toke Makinwa’s choice of fashion  fashion on the night of the much anticipated awards and not sparing  her hosting skills. 

Her second outfit was a sequin jumpsuit, which got the audience laughing when she walked up to the stage. I didn’t see her at first because I was actually chatting on my blackberry phone, but the laughter from the crowd made me look up quickly. People talked openly not caring who was listening, and I heard from the seat behind me someone asking ‘Why is this girl fooling herself? What nonsense is she wearing and why would she wear a ‘Padded Butt’ in this kind of outfit? Another said she looked like she wore pampers, and the comments and laughter at Toke’s foolery went on and on. And I just thought to myself who is actually her stylist? Who is doing this to Toke? Or is she her own worst enemy?" 

Azuka Ogujiba didn't stop with Toke Makinwa’s outing and composure at the 2014 Headies Award, as she went vent her anger over the fact that Toke quest for publicity .

She obviously loves the limelight; she enjoys being called and seen as a celebrity, and she loves the good life of being a star, which sincerely is not a crime and it is equally her business anyway. For me as a journalist, if I am to pick any of the known on-air personalities to interview then Toke Makinwa will never make number 50 on my list because I don’t know what she wants to tell the world about her career and personal life again. Her life is practically on the social network but it is truly her choice,” Azuka wrote.
