Toke Makinwa shares insights on lightening her skin tone.

 Nigerian personality Toke Makinwa reveals her challenges with skin lightening, expressing regret for her decision. In her book "Becoming," where she chronicles various aspects of her life, she confesses to lightening her skin due to her ex-husband Maje's infidelity with someone of lighter complexion.

In an attempt to win his affection and prevent him from seeking it elsewhere, she chose to change her skin tone to resemble the other woman. Regrettably, this effort failed to achieve the desired result, leading to their eventual divorce and separation.

During a Twitter Q&A session with her fans and followers, Toke was prompted to list the things she would change if given the chance to revisit the past.
