Media personality, Toke Makinwa, has announced the birth of her first child, a baby girl.
Makinwa shared the joyful news on Thursday via her Instagram page, describing the experience as the happiest moment of her life.
“I’m a mommy. This is the happiest I’ve ever been. My precious daughter, the love I never knew existed, my heart in another human being. I have seen the goodness of God in my lifetime. It ended in praise—my miracle is here,” she wrote.
She revealed that her daughter has been named Yakira Eliana Olakitan Iyanuoluwa Ikeoluwa Adunola, which she described as a testament to God’s faithfulness.
“My purpose, my reason, my evidence. Thank you for choosing me, thank you for making me a mother. Every single detail, down to your fingers and toes, He heard my prayers. Meet my miracle, Yakira Eliana — Precious, Beloved, of great worth. My God has answered,” she added.
Earlier this month, the 40-year-old unveiled her baby bump, confirming that she was expecting. Over the years, Makinwa has openly spoken about her desire to become a mother and had even considered surrogacy as an option.
In a lighthearted moment with Afrobeats star, Falz, she once joked that she might opt for surrogacy because she did not want to “ruin her shape.”
