Nigerian media personality and actress, Toke Makinwa, has officially embraced motherhood after announcing the arrival of her first child, a baby girl, in a touching message to fans on Thursday.

Makinwa shared the update on Instagram, describing the experience as her greatest testimony yet.

She wrote with emotion:

“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, my love. I have seen the goodness of God in my life time. I have seen God move and I no longer just hear of it, I see it. It ended in praise, My miracle is here.”

Her daughter’s full name was unveiled as Yakira Eliana Olakitan Iyanuoluwa Ikeoluwa Adunola, a name packed with spiritual meaning and gratitude.

The proud mother further added:

“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 hearts overflows with so much gratitude. God heard, God answered. Every single detail, down to your fingers and toes, oh he heard my prayers. Meet my miracle, Yakira Eliana — Precious, Beloved — of great worth, my God has answered.”

Earlier in August, the 40-year-old revealed her pregnancy publicly after sharing a video flaunting her baby bump. She had earlier hinted at the possibility of using surrogacy but described this pregnancy as the most important chapter of her life.

Her joyous announcement has sparked widespread celebration from fans and colleagues alike, many praising her resilience and faith.
