This saga, which began in late 2024 with a viral podcast clip, officially came full circle this week as Toke Makinwa reunited with UK podcaster Madame Joyce and actor Taymesan for a “Threesome” Christmas special.
The episode, released on Boxing Day 2025, serves as more than just a festive catch-up; it acts as a survival guide for the modern Nigerian woman navigating “Detty December” and the complexities of adult relationships.
While the trio joked about their “high profile” status and the chaos of Lagos traffic, the conversation quickly pivoted to deeper, often uncomfortable truths about family loyalty, financial boundaries, and the reality of finding love when you least expect it.
Here are the seven major takeaways from their unfiltered sit-down.
1. The “London Boys Are Broke” Saga Returns
The episode wasted no time addressing the elephant in the room: Madame Joyce’s previous viral comment that “London boys are broke.” Joyce clarified her stance, explaining that listeners took her words too literally.
She noted that “broke” was not a reference to poverty or homelessness but rather a lack of generosity or effort in dating.
”I don’t mean broke as in you are poverty-stricken,” she explained, emphasising that she used the word “broke” to describe stinginess because it hits a nerve harder.
Taymesan added context, suggesting that Nigerian men in the diaspora often face a different economic reality compared to the “lavish” spending culture seen in Lagos December.
2. Detty December Reality Check: Boats, 5 AM Feeds & The Mainland
The group dismantled the glamorous facade of “Detty December,” revealing the exhaustion behind the curated Instagram stories. Toke Makinwa admitted that her 2025 festivities looked vastly different due to her new role as a mother.
She described the brutal reality of returning from a club at 5:00 AM, only to face a baby who is wide awake and ready to play.
”You are coming from the club… and she is looking at you smiling like, ‘Oh, while you were dancing in the club, you did not know you were coming back to dance with me’,” Toke laughed.
The conversation also touched on the logistical nightmare of Lagos traffic, with Toke revealing she now commutes via boat to avoid the gridlock.
Meanwhile, Madame Joyce surprisingly endorsed the Mainland nightlife, praising the energy and authenticity of spots like “The Cabin” over the often pretentious Island scene.
3. The Cheating Dad Dilemma: “Your Mother Already Knows”
The mood shifted when the trio tackled a listener’s dilemma about discovering her father is a “chronic cheat” and feeling guilty about keeping the secret from her mother. Toke delivered a sobering reality check: “The woman already knows.”
She argued that in cases of “chronic” infidelity, a wife often turns a blind eye to keep the peace, and the burden of this secret should not fall on the child.
Taymesan agreed, advising the listener to confront the father directly rather than shattering the mother’s world.
”Respect your thinking should be out the window by now because if he doesn’t respect your mother… you can put your dad in his place,” Toke added firmly.
4. The “Celebrations Box” Analogy for Dating
One of the standout moments came when Madame Joyce used a box of Celebrations chocolates to explain why women should explore their options before settling down.
She compared dating only one person to eating only “Bounty” bars and assuming they are the best chocolate in existence.
”When you come out of this Bounty phase and you’re like, ‘Wait, Maltesers? I like this about Twix…’,” she illustrated.
The analogy underscored their collective advice: experiencing different people helps you understand your own preferences, temperament, and non-negotiables in a partner.
5. Financial Boundaries: Why You Must Become “The Villain”
Addressing a listener who felt guilty for stopping financial support to an entitled family, Toke Makinwa gave permission to be the “bad guy.”
She stressed that you cannot pour from an empty cup and that family members often adjust once you firmly say no.
”You have to be the villain in that story,” she declared, admitting she has made peace with being seen as “wicked” to protect her own future and savings.
Taymesan supported this, noting that enabling lazy family members ultimately ruins them, as it prevents them from learning how to fish for themselves.
6. The Gold Digger Double Standard
The group engaged in a heated debate about the transactional nature of relationships in Lagos.
Toke argued that men are often the “biggest gold diggers,” openly plotting to marry into wealthy families for connections while society vilifies women for wanting financial security.
She challenged the hypocrisy of men who complain about “billing” yet only approach women with money as their primary offering.
”If you meet a girl and the first thing you offer is intellectual conversations… you will laugh yourself into their pants,” she countered, suggesting men use money as a crutch because they lack other value.
7. Toke’s “Plot Twist” Year: Pregnancy & Finding Love
Closing the episode, Toke reflected on 2025, calling it the “plot twist” she didn’t know she needed.
She revealed she discovered her pregnancy in December 2024, a secret she kept while filming previous content.
”I used to say that I want 2025 to be that year that I would end up saying ‘what a difference a year can make’,” she shared emotionally.
The media personality confirmed she is in the happiest place of her life, having found love when she stopped desperately looking for it and focused on her own growth.
Her final message to single women was one of hope: focus on yourself, and the right person often appears when you are busy building your own empire.
