Foremost Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa, sent social media berserk a couple of days ago when she disclosed that she is expecting her first child at the age of 40.
The Nigerian entertainment polymath, in a recent video, disclosed how she battled deep depression even while achieving major milestones in her life.

She shared how she once drove for hours to nowhere in particular, bawling up in tears without even realising. She also recalled how she begged God to “just call her home,” and how she masked emptiness with laughter at public events.

“You know I’ve got it all together,” she admitted. “But I didn’t share the fact that I had had, you know, a couple of failed attempts of trying to be a mom.”
The media personality went on to recall how a cruel tweet about her personal life pierced her deeply.
“I remember this particular tweet where somebody tweeted at me. I don’t know how they found out my business, but the person wrote online that this is why your two IVFs had failed. Nothing has caught me in my life as much as that tweet. Jesus. I’m not crying because you motherfuckers deserve my tears. But it made me go back to God and say, Look at me.”
But everything shifted after a simple prayer of surrender in December, followed by a call from her doctor on the 17th that gave her the breakthrough she had been waiting for.
