Toke Makinwa Welcomes First Child, a Baby Girl

Media personality and entrepreneur, Toke Makinwa, has announced the arrival of her first child, a baby girl, marking what she describes as the happiest moment of her life.

The 40-year-old shared the news on Instagram on Thursday, expressing overwhelming gratitude and calling her daughter’s birth a miracle.

“I’m a mommy. This is the happiest I’ve ever been. My precious daughter, the love I never knew existed, my heart in another human being. I have seen the goodness of God in my lifetime,” she wrote.

Makinwa also revealed her daughter’s name as Yakira Eliana Olakitan Iyanuoluwa Ikeoluwa Adunola, describing the child as a testimony of God’s faithfulness.

“Yakira Eliana, Olakitan, Iyanuoluwa, Ikeoluwa, Adunola… My purpose, my reason, my evidence. Thank you for choosing me, thank you for making me a mother. My heart overflows with so much gratitude. God heard, God answered,” she added.

Earlier this month, Makinwa confirmed she was expecting when she unveiled her baby bump. Over the years, she has openly spoken about her desire to become a mother and had previously hinted that surrogacy might be an option.

With the arrival of her daughter, the media star says her long-awaited dream has finally come true.
