Media personality Toke Makinwa has reflected on the painful comments she faced from trolls during her battle with infertility and singlehood, as she proudly showcases her baby bump.
The 39-year-old, who recently confirmed her pregnancy, shared on Instagram stories that the harsh criticisms were most difficult to bear when she was nearing 40, still unmarried, and after going through two unsuccessful IVF attempts.
One of the trolling remarks she exposed read: “Baby girl, this is why you have tried IVF 2 times and none has worked. This is why you have snatched so many of your girlfriends’ men and none has stuck by you; this consistent need to be a classist and a bully while you come from a low class yourself and understand the struggle.”
Toke clarified that her decision to share the negative remarks was not to amplify hate but to glorify God for answering her prayers.
“Shared that not to highlight negativity but to bask in the goodness of God and I hope anyone struggling can find the strength to believe that God has the final say,” she wrote.
