Media personality Toke Makinwa launches project to reward fans in financial need

Makinwa, who made the announcement via IG says, “It is my own little way of saying thank you, it is also a call to action to get our minds thinking right.”

The media personality also touched on her personal history including the loss of her parents at a tender age of eight, her rise to fame and the scandal involving her ex-husband, Maje Ayida. The initiative she said is a way to reach out to some fans in need especially though who ask for money on social media, “It breaks my heart to see people on social media daily in need and I can’t reach everyone,” she shared.

But it is not lottery money beneficiaries will need to prove that the money will be put to good use.
