Popular Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa, has expressed heartfelt gratitude to God for His countless blessings, as she continues to embrace the joys and challenges of motherhood.
In a post shared on her Instagram story, the entrepreneur revealed that she often becomes overwhelmed when reflecting on all that God has done for her. She praised Him for being her steady source of hope, joy, and strength in all situations.
“God, when I think about all that You’ve done for me, I am overwhelmed with thanks. You are so good and kind to me! Thank you for being my steady source of hope and joy. You are worthy to be praised at all times, in every situation! In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
In another post, Makinwa shared a throwback picture of herself, reflecting on how much her life had changed in just one year. She recalled how she could never have imagined such a turnaround in her life.
“I couldn’t even imagine that a year later, my life would change so much. Abba, I thank you o.”
The lifestyle star welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Yakira Eliana, at the age of 40. In August, it was reported that Toke had given birth, and just last week, she celebrated her daughter turning one month old. She described the journey so far as “unbelievable” and thanked her “mini-me” for choosing her, promising to give her best as a mother.
Opening up about her new experience, Toke candidly discussed the pressures of breastfeeding. She noted that drinking pap for two weeks didn’t help her supply and only weighed heavily on her mental health, while tea also did little to improve it.
The media personality also admitted that motherhood has changed her lifestyle and personality. Known for being an outgoing person, she revealed she spent most of this year indoors due to her pregnancy.
Toke further gushed about her daughter, saying her baby girl’s beauty was undeniable and not just because she gave birth to her. In a heartfelt note, she said her daughter healed a broken heart she had carried since childhood.
On her podcast, the former OAP became emotional as she recounted how she prayed to God to bless her with motherhood at 40. Miraculously, she became pregnant the month after her 40th birthday.
Toke Makinwa was previously married to fitness expert Maje Ayinde, but their marriage ended in 2016 after two years, due to adultery allegations. Today, she embraces her new chapter with gratitude, joy, and unwavering faith.
