Popular Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has raised eyebrows with her recent statement about having ‘backing’ that shields her from the economic crisis in the country. The On-Air Personality, who is preparing to start a Christian fellowship, claimed that she and her close circle remain unaffected by economic hardships due to their substantial support system.
In a video that has since gone viral, Toke Makinwa can be heard boasting about her immunity to the current state of the economy. She went on to challenge any negativity, saying:
“Whatever the economy is saying, we no dey carry last. We no dey settle for less. Do you know who our father is? We get backing. Who the hell are you talking to, devil?”
Her statements amid the economic hardship in the country have generated significant buzz on social media.
