  Nigerian actress and media personality, Toke Makinwa has weighed in on the perceived double standards surrounding infidelity between men and women. Speaking in a recent episode of her Toke Moments podcast, the movie star claimed that women cheat more than men but more discreet. She explained that it is easier for women to cheat unlike men, who have to spend resources, efforts and time to do so.

But men will spend money, efforts and time to cheat. “But we, we are the ones receiving. It is easier for women to cheat...
