Media personality Toke Makinwa has expressed gratitude to God as she marks her 41st birthday as a new mom.
Makinwa, who welcomed first child, Yakira Eliana, in August, expressed gratitude for the gift of motherhood, describing it as a dream come true.
She shared stunning photos of herself and her daughter, both dressed in red, as she dedicated her birthday to prayer and reflection.
She wrote: ‘365 days of mind-blowing grace, I started manifesting 2025 to be the kind of year that’ll have me saying ‘what a difference a year can make’, I honestly cannot believe the difference between last year, living it up in Spain and now living in my dreams.
‘Happy birthday, Omotoke. You are loved by God, a praise in the earth. Your life is a testimony that the promises of God will surely come to pass. It’s my first birthday as a Mom, y’all, say a prayer for me’.
Makinwa’s birthday celebration comes after she dedicated her daughter to God in a ceremony attended by prominent figures in the entertainment industry, including Funke Akindele, Tiwa Savage and Toyin Abraham.
As a new mother, Makinwa has been open about the joys and challenges of motherhood, often sharing heartfelt moments with her daughter on social media.
