Popular On Air Personality, Toke Makinwa is set to drop her new book, On Becoming.
One of the spectarcular things about the book is that it is a first biography from the Nigerian pioneer vlogger. No, the book has not been released, but there have been sneak peeks. Bellanaija actually did a preview of the book which according to its author is not a “tell all, but a must tell story” of her life.
The 32-year-old revealed what happened all through the long years she dated her ex-hubby, Maje Ayida, and what happened in the union before it eventually crashed. Makinwa revealed details of her pains on discovering that her husband had made another woman pregnant and how she worked towards her healing.
She discussed the high and lows that followed and how she contemplated suicide.
“I got on my knees in front of him, my voice calm as I can make it. “Maje, you can’t keep lying. What is going on?
He walks away, leaving me there with my heart in my hands. I see him pacing, like he is having a private conversation. Then all of a sudden, he walks back to the living room, looks straight into my eyes and says, ‘She’s pregnant’.
I fall to the ground. My head….
‘What’s she having?’
‘A boy,’ he says.
‘How long have you known?’
‘I’ve always known…. It was what I thought I wanted,’ he says” a passage in the book, quoted by Bellanaija read.
The book will be launched in Nigeria this Sunday, November 27, 2016.
It will be released on November 28, 2016, in bookstores across Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, United Kingdom and the United States.
E-Books will be available on Kindle, Amazon, OkadaBooks and more.
