Media personality and actress Toke Makinwa has revealed she is expecting her first child, describing the news as the “biggest project” of her life.
The 40-year-old made the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday, sharing a video of herself cradling her baby bump and reflecting on her journey to motherhood.
“The biggest project of my life, the highest calling ever! 2025… What a difference a year can make,” she wrote. “Dear God, you did this one, you have completely changed my life. You opened this door that nobody can shut.”
Makinwa, who started her career in radio before expanding into television and business, said the process had tested her patience and faith.
“All that time I was convinced you had forgotten me. I didn’t understand why it took so long but now I see it. You worked on my heart posture to get me ready for the biggest blessing and the highest calling,” she said.
She expressed her joy at soon meeting her child, writing, “My bug, I cannot wait to meet you. You’ve made me the happiest person on earth, baby. Thank you for choosing me… the answer to my prayers.”
The actress also told her followers that her story was proof of God’s perfect timing. “Listen, God is never late, and God can be trusted. My healed pain will break someone else’s chain and that’s why you’ve put us on here to shine your light. My season is here,” she wrote.
Makinwa said motherhood was a role that “trumps it all,” adding, “You guys have been with me from the start, the girl you met on radio, the brand you’ve supported all these years, this victory is major. You get to see me as a mother, I get to raise my own. Na me be this? Hallelujah!”
