Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa is celebrating her first Christmas as a mother.
The former OAP, who has been counting down to this day, shared photos of herself and her daughter in matching red dresses, noting how her Christmas mornings used to be quiet.
According to her, she will go out on Christmas Eve and sleep through the day. However, this year is different, and her heart is not just full, but her cup runneth over.
“Christmas mornings used to be so quiet. I’ll go out on Christmas Eve and sleep through the day.
Christmas 2025 helloooooooo
This year, my heart is not just full; my cup runneth over.
Thank you, Lord.
Merry Christmas from Yakira Eliana and I.
Hope your family is blessed”.
While counting down to Christmas, Makinwa shared a cute video of her daughter dressed in matching pyjamas standing beside their Christmas tree. She praised her daughter for doing so well shooting the video with her and revealed that she paid her for her appearance.
In a previous video, the former OAP shared a video of her massive Christmas decorations, saying this year’s Christmas is special to her because it’s her first Christmas as a mom. Expressing excitement, Toke said she was now unlocking a new family tradition.
Two week back, the media personality had celebrated her daughter’s 4th-month birthday. She described her as her sweet child and noted how they have made it. Toke said God has been so good to them each step of the way and had ordained for their paths to cross.
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 daughter, 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.
