A fan of Gulder Ultimate Search has questioned the choice of Toke Makinwa as the host of the reality show on social media.

The aggrieved fan maintained that viewers lost interest the moment the OAP was announced as the show host and likened her appointment with getting someone like Frank Edoho to host a beauty pageant.

The fan felt Toke Makinwa wasn't appointed on merits.

Toke gives response

The media personality responded to the allegations in a lengthy post that she would have ignored a comment like this but the human in her forced her to respond to the troll.

Toke blasted the woman for not supporting a fellow woman in a male-dominated field.

She also made it known that the complaints have been there since she was appointed as the show host. She wrote:

"Since I was announced as the host of GUS it's been one thing to the other, first why Toke, then it wasn't about my hosting ability but my wearing makeup, then it was that I'm not fit for the position cos certain shows are not for me, I can't win with you all."

Toke also spoke about her appointment being a dream come true for her because she had interviewed past winners of the show in 2014 and she was thankful regardless of what people felt about it.

Reactions

Nigerians have responded to the comments and sent some encouraging words to Toke.

Legit.ng picked some of the reactions, read below:
