Media personality Toke Makinwa has taken to social media to reflect on 2025 and express gratitude to God as the year comes to a close.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, she shared her journey over the past year, writing:
“I really just want to thank you, Jesus, for not holding anything back from me, for giving me a year that only you could have seen me through, for putting your own reputation on the line to save me from wrong choices and for finally making it all beautiful in your time. The wait is never in vain. I learnt in gratitude that you find who you are in Christ. I learnt the type of love that I’ve searched for all my life: that God loved me first, and it is not a performative kind of love. I did nothing to earn it; I couldn’t even earn it if I tried. God wants the best for me. Then you gave me this precious gift to Shepherd, you truly have the greatest sense of humour. It has been leading up to 5 months, and she is teaching me about faith, patience, and the best kind of Love. I told God I wanted to end the year 2025 saying, ‘What a difference a year can make,’ and boy, he did it. I manifested it. Roll on 26, I’m excited for all that you’ve got planned for us. Thankful Sunday. 28.12.25”
The year 2025 marked a major milestone for Toke. In August, she announced that she was expecting her first child at age 40, sharing the news in an emotional Instagram post where she described the pregnancy as “the biggest project of my life, the highest calling ever.”
She later welcomed her daughter, Yakira Precious, and publicly thanked God for the moment, calling her baby a “miracle” and “evidence” of answered prayer.
Toke, who started her career in radio and has become one of Nigeria’s recognised media figures.
As 2026 approaches, her reflections resonate with many followers, who responded with messages of support and prayers for the new year.
