“I Was Depressed, Lost Business Deals, Became Paranoid” — Maje Ayida Opens Up on Life After Scandalous Divorce from Toke Makinwa

Renowned wellness coach and entrepreneur Maje Ayida is breaking his long-held silence, offering a raw and heartfelt reflection on the personal and professional turmoil he endured following his highly publicized divorce from media personality Toke Makinwa.

In a candid new interview, Ayida opens up about the emotional spiral that followed the scandal that rocked Nigeria’s entertainment and media scene several years ago. “I was depressed. I lost major business deals. I became paranoid,” he revealed. “My entire world was crumbling, and I didn’t know how to ask for help.”

Ayida, who once stood at the helm of a thriving fitness and wellness empire, admits that the public fallout from the divorce had far-reaching consequences. “Brands didn’t want to associate with me. People I had known for years disappeared. My mental health deteriorated, and I isolated myself,” he confessed.

Despite the overwhelming challenges, Ayida says the experience led to deep personal transformation. He spent the following years undergoing therapy, rebuilding his brand, and redefining his sense of purpose. “It took hitting rock bottom to understand who I really am. The healing process was painful, but necessary,” he said.
