Ireti Doyle Opens Up About Stepping Away from Social Media
Veteran actress Ireti Doyle has shared why she recently decided to take a break from social media, describing the online space as increasingly negative and draining.
After being off Instagram for over a month, the screen icon made a quiet return on Thursday, October 9, 2025, with a message that reflected peace, self-awareness, and self-care.
In her post, Ireti wrote,
“I used to wonder what I’d do with myself once I became an ‘empty nester.’ Now I know. Had to disappear again… The streets of SM (nay, the world in general) are becoming too toxic for my quiet soul. How have you been? I hope you’re protecting yourself. Peace.”
She ended her note with hashtags that hinted at her current state of mind — #EmptyNest, #AnotherSoloTrip, #Abundance, #Ease, and #Flow — showing that she’s choosing serenity over noise.
Meanwhile, actor Tobi Makinde shared a joyful update of his own, announcing his engagement to his longtime partner.
In an Instagram post, Tobi revealed that although he mistakenly bought a ring that was too big, the proposal itself was everything he hoped for.
“I had one job — to get a ring that fit perfectly — but I blew it and got a bigger size,” he joked.
The actor also shared that he had proposed months earlier and couldn’t be happier to begin this new chapter, adding that he prayed deeply before making the commitment.
Both stars, in their own ways, are embracing peace, love, and new beginnings — a reminder that sometimes, stepping back or moving forward both come from the same place of clarity.
