Nigerian media personality and entrepreneur Toke Makinwa has been left emotional following her return to work.
The mum, via her Instagram page, revealed that she went for a speaking event and was taken aback when she got on stage and everyone yelled ‘Mummy Yaya’. Toke noted how her daughter has given her a new name.
The proud mother expressed joy at returning to work, revealing that she had cut her hair to match her daughter’s because she is obsessed with her. Toke prayed that her daughter would grow up to know her mum really worked hard to be the best at everything.
“Mama YaYa…. My Purpose, My reason, My why.
Thank you, @beautyinthemotherland, for an eventful three days. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand and purchased from @tokemakinwabeauty and @tokemakinwaluxury. You all rock!
I got on stage to speak, and everyone yelled, “Mummy Yaya.” It felt so good to be back at work.
My daughter has given me a new name. I’m so obsessed with her that I cut my hair to match hers, and I pray she grows up to know that her mum really worked hard to be the best at everything.

Kemi Filani reported that in August the former OAP had welcomed her first child, a baby girl, named Yakira Eliana at 40.
Celebrating her daughter as she returned one-month-old, Toke described the past month as unbelievable, appreciating her mini-me for choosing her, and promising to do her best.
In a note to her newborn, Toke noted how her daughter had changed her status and healed the broken heart she had carried since she was 8. Toke said she was already drowning in her big ol’ eyes and learning so much of her.
Speaking on motherhood, she had revealed how ut transformed her personality. She noted that, throughout this year, she had been indoors due to her pregnancy, which was unlike her, as she is usually an outdoor person.
In another post, the new mum revealed how her daughter has unknowingly helped her heal. She said she has been healed from childhood trauma and grief that she thought she had dealt with a long time ago.
On her podcast, the former OAP broke down in tears as she reflected on her trials, revealing that she prayed to God that she wanted to turn 40 being a mum. She said that God answered her prayers as she got pregnant the next month after her 40th birthday.
