“The economy doesn’t affect me, I have backing” – Toke Makinwa brags

Popular Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has raised eyebrows online with her recent statement about having ‘backing’ that has kept her from feeling the impact of 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 are unaffected by economic hardships due to their substantial support system.

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?”

Toke Makinwa’s statements amid the economic hardship in the country have generated a lot of buzz on social media.
