Toke Makinwa
Often when life throws ‘shit’ at us, we get weighed down as we try to
decide between acute depression and self pity. Like every other person
in such situation, radio girl Toke Makinwa also wallowed in the pits of
depression and self pity for a while, but guess what, she came out
looking like a million bucks! Literally!
The
separation between Toke Makinwa and her husband Maje Ayida almost broke
the chatty radio girl completely but she turned the unfortunate
situation into a money making venture and today she is probably glad
that her husband cheated and left!
According to Toke; “My lecturers knew I had it in me, but I couldn’t see what they saw”
Not an established writer, yet Toke found her way around literature
and wrote a Tell-All book that aroused emotional empathy in almost all
who read the book.
Today,
the book has taken Toke round the world, made her stand before princes,
fetched her more money than she imagined, splashed her closet with
enough Gucci’s and Versaces to last her for a lifetime!
Who would have thought that the tears she cried when her beloved ex was cheating would turn to rich pearls!
Smart girl monetized her situation and today there are claims that the book is about to be adapted into a movie!
Be like Toke Makinwa, don’t just cry, write a book!
