Toke Makinwa, a well-known media personality in Nigeria, has drawn criticism online for her recent claim that she has “backing” that has prevented her from feeling the effects of the nation’s economic crisis.
The On Air Personality claimed that her close circle of friends and family is immune to financial hardships because they have a strong support network. She is also getting ready to launch a Christian fellowship.
In a video that has since gone viral, Toke Makinwa could be heard bragging about being unaffected by the state of the economy.
She went on to challenge any negativity. In her words:
“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?”
A lot of talk has been made on social media about Toke Makinwa’s remarks in light of the nation’s economic struggles.
