Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has shut down reports that her baby daddy is a Muslim.
Kemi Filani reported in August the former OAP had welcomed her first child, a baby girl, named Yakira Eliana at 40.
Three days ago, Toke had given a tour of her daughter’s pink-themed Nursery room.
In her comment section, a fan had expressed belief that her daughter’s father is a Muslim because of her name, Yakira.
“I think Yakira’s dad is a Muslim”, the fan wrote.
Toke, surprisingly, responded, saying her baby daddy is not, and her daughter’s name is a Hebrew name, which means “beloved,” “precious,” and “someone of great worth.”
“He is not. Yakira is a Hebrew name. Beloved, precious and someone of great worth”.
In an episode on her podcast, earlier this year, Toke said she was ready to settle down as a second, third or fourth wife.
In a previous episode, Toke spoke about being single and childless at 40. She admitted that if she had gotten married for a second time, she would have divorced as she noted how the lessons never ended. The media personality stated that despite being single and childless at 40, she doesn’t allow herself to wallow in pity.
Recall that, Toke was once married to fitness expert, Maje Ayinde but the marriage crashed in 2016, after two years on the grounds of adultery.
Opening up on her failed marriage, she noted how she was blamed for her marriage failure even though her ex-husband fathered a child with another woman. She said people had different versions of what they thought her marriage was, which left her traumatized as she was the victim.
The media personality, had addressed a wrong narrative about her regarding men and marriage. The divorcee noted how people think she hates men or is a man basher, which is wrong, as she loves marriage and being married. Toke stated that she greatly advocates marriage because 2 is better than 1.
