Popular Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has opened up about her journey to motherhood, setting the record straight on misconceptions about her love life and views on men.

Just days ago, the OAP and actress surprised fans by revealing she is expecting her first child. In a candid interview, Toke shared that she had prayed to God to make her a mother before her 40th birthday — a wish that came true sooner than she expected. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

According to her, she conceived in December, just a month after turning 40 in November, and sees it as a testament to God’s perfect timing.

“The popular belief out there is that I bash men, I hate men. It’s never been the truth. I’m a hopeless romantic. People did not know that I was depressed. Till now, people did not know why I did that thanksgiving service and I’ve never talked about it till this moment. At the start, I told God I want to turn 40 a mum. I turned 40 in November and He did it December. He didn’t fail. God is never late. He just didn’t do it the way I thought it was gonna happen…”

Toke also addressed the public perception that she is critical of men, explaining that her outspoken nature has often been misunderstood. She emphasized that love has always been important to her, and she remains a romantic at heart.

Her heartfelt revelation has sparked an outpouring of congratulations from fans, celebrities, and well-wishers who have flooded social media with messages of support.

Safe delivery Toke. Whether you hate men or not, it's your decision to do so. When your ex husband slept with another woman and got her pregnant, it's enough reason to do what you did. You owe no one explanation
