Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa is gearing up for her first Christmas as a mom.
The former OAP, who welcomed her first child this year, shared a video of her massive Christmas decorations on her Instagram page. Toke said this year’s Christmas is special to her because it’s her first Christmas as a mom.
Expressing excitement, Toke said she is now unlocking a new family tradition.
“Santa, pls stop here for Yakira….
Christmas 2025……
A very personal one for me,
It’s my first Christmas as a mom,
My daughter’s first Christmas,
New family tradition unlocked.
This year I wanted to do the decorations myself, taking it back to the family traditions we had growing up, can’t wait till Yaya starts running around and we can set it up together.
I ordered some ornaments from the time my daughter was born, and they came out just as pretty as I imagined. Yaya loves looking at the lights. She gets lost just looking at the decorations.
‘Tis the season, guys, prepare to be sick of me”.
Last month, Toke celebrated her daughter, Yakira, as she turned 3 months old. She shared photos of the celebrant with an update on her daughter’s growth. Toke said she never thought she would feel this kind of love.
It is no longer news that in August the former OAP had welcomed her first child, a baby girl, named Yakira Eliana at 40.
On Sunday, November 2nd, the media personality dedicated Yaya, to God. The event had lots of public figures in attendance. The likes of billionaire wife Shade Okoya, Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and wife, Mercy Eke, Ruth Kadiri, Mercy Aigbe, Eniola Badmus, Uche Montana, Brodashaggi, and more were at the event.
On her TikTok page, the proud mother shared a clip from the dedication, declaring it a day she’ll cherish forever.
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.
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.
