On-air-personality Toke Makinwa
One of Nigeria’s foremost TV host and Radio personality Toke Makinwa recently posed nude for a snap shot. But she has come out to say the photographer took the shot by accident.
According to the 35 years old on air personality known for co-hosting “The Morning Drive” on Rhythm 93.7 FM, the highly revealing picture snapped during a studio photo session, was not part of the plan.
“It (naked picture) was not part of the shoot, this shot was a test one,” said the light-skinnedOutstanding Female Presenter of the Year 2013 award winner and author of the book “On Becoming”.
And what was the reaction of this Lagos State born English and Literature graduate from the University of Lagos when the photographer took the shot “by mistake”?
“The photographer (@felixcrown) was trying to get the right light and he got this shot, and all I could think of was art,” narrated Toke who on January 15, 2014 had a private wedding ceremony with her lover of eight years, Maje Ayida, but separated the following year.
Overheard someone ask, if this lady who does not deny the fact that she bleaches her skin, splashes her nude picture snapped “by accident” all over her social media handles, what then would she do if the snap shot was planned?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
