“This is the happiest I’ve ever been,” Toke confessed as she introduced her daughter to the world. Her miracle baby girl, named Yakira Eliana, Olakitan, Iyanuoluwa, Ikeoluwa, Adunola, is a prophecy fulfilled, the living proof that God hears, answers, and blesses.
Every name was carefully chosen, stitched with layers of meaning. “Yakira”, precious beyond measure; “Eliana”, God has answered. It is poetry in names, a mother’s prayer turned into flesh and blood.
Toke shared her gratitude in words drenched with grace: “Every single detail, down to your fingers and toes, oh, He heard my prayers. My heart overflows with so much gratitude. God heard, God answered.”
Only days before, she hosted a baby shower that glittered with love and laughter, attended by her closest friends and celebrities like Tiwa Savage, Didi Akinyelure, Toni Foyeh, and Akunna Akano. Yet, beneath the glamour lies the true heartbeat of this story: her resilience.
From heartbreak to headlines, Toke has never shied away from showing vulnerability while keeping her crown steady. Now, holding her daughter, she wears a new crown, that of Motherhood.
Her journey is a symbol of countless women who hope, wait, and believe. Toke’s story is a hymn to patience, perseverance, and answered prayers.
At 40, she is living proof that miracles are never late; they always arrive right on time.
