A video went viral of a woman beating up a lady who was said to be her husband’s side chick.
The video was reportedly recorded at Ikeja City Mall (ICM) and the woman was said to have been warning the young lady for a while to stay away from her husband.
Watch the video below:

A number of people shared their opinion on the issue with social media users divided between supporting the married woman and condemning her actions.
Toke Makinwa also took to Twitter to share her opinion on the issue. She advocated for women to work on themselves when they’re married and not think about the marriage institution as an avenue to “own” anyone.
She wrote: “I wish she kept the same energy for the Cheater, like no one owns another human being and the least you can do is fight the human that broke the vow he made to you.
“I think the whole marriage concept of “owning” your partner is flawed. You do not own anyone, you are not responsible for another’s action, it should not drive you mad
“Two people make a choice to do life together, one person defaults on promises/vows, it is not a reflection of you, don’t lose your peace over another human being.
“In one single action, she’s made the alleged side chick an angel, the girl walked away while the woman looked hella crazy. Resist the urge to let another’s action make you crazy
“The side chick she attacked might not be his only indiscretion, she’s even made them closer. The man is probably begging her right now. As a woman work on yourself, don’t lose you to nobody
“Don’t let another’s action be a reflection of who you are.
“Not one size fits all, it hurts but as women attacking ourselves over a man is not the solution. If he cheats, it’s not about you, don’t let his actions be a reflection of who you are.
“P.s do not miss the critical point of what I said, as women, do not carry the cross of another’s indiscretion, stop trying to share in the shame that is not yours. Work on yourself means focus on YOU. Your mental health, your spiritual, financial and emotional growth.”
Twitter users, however, dragged her for her opinions, with some people saying she had no reason to say anything after her failed marriage.

Toke Makinwa has blocked me so someone should help me tell her that she should not be addressing certain issues publicly, let her stick to her IG slaying.

Lol, Toke. Once you are married to someone; you both own yourselves and responsible for the other's action.
It takes someone who really understands 'marriage', and willing to make the best out of it, to get this. https://t.co/jDpTA61ATL

Many defended her though, saying her opinions are valid considering the situation. Many also said Twitter NG is always waiting to drag Toke Makinwa every time she shares an opinion.

Some of you just wait for Toke to tweet so you can twist whatever she says! Wth

I checked Toke’s tweet and I get where she’s coming from.
I even thought she said something bad.
Maybe it’s the way she put it or because it’s from her but she’s trying to say never let another human being f--k with your mind so much that you do what that married woman did.

Nigerians have a serious comprehension problem. @tokstarr. Toke simply said ladies should work on themselves and be better people for themselves and don't loose themselves when a man's action is driving them crazy. The man's action is on him, don't blame/loose yourself. English!

Nigerians yet again proving why we'll keep writing IELTS. Toke said: be the best woman you can be irrespective of your husband's misbehaviour. You people just love to misconstrue whatever she says

Toke is that woman everyone loves to attack even when she speaks truths.
It doesn't matter if she tweets 1+1=2, y'all will take offence.Simple "work on urself" and u pple are bringing in her marriage, as if she didn't work on herself, wrote a book and became a boss lady. pic.twitter.com/V1kOXUYFFl
