OAP Toke Makinwa’s popularity is on a steady and remarkable rise these days as evidenced by her Vlog on YouTube: she now has over 2 million views and well over 19,000 subscribers.
Toke shared a picture of her account on social media with this long but touching post: ‘Being in London takes me back to the very beginning of my career and it’s not been that long. I walk the streets and now I am recognized. I walk into shops and people who aren’t Nigerian know my name and have something to say to me. It is a humbling feeling because I know where I’m from and I will like to thank you all for watching my Vlogs and sharing with the people around you. We have over 2 million views, and close to 20 thousand subscribers…. Still not there, making a lot of changes this year but I am thankful for how far I have come. I never thought this many people will know my name so I use me as a point of contact to everyone with a dream, start now!!!!!! Believe in what you have been given and commit it into the hands of GOD.’
