Media personality Toke Makinwa recently shared a touching insight into how becoming a mother has changed how people refer to her.
Since welcoming her first child in August 2025, Toke revealed that she is now more commonly called by her son’s name rather than her own.
She wrote, “No one calls me TM anymore… Everywhere I go it is ‘Mummy Yaya’… Omo mi so mi l’oruko tun‑tun,” expressing joy over the new affectionate title.
Toke noted that transitioning from being recognized primarily as a celebrity to being known through her child has been a deeply moving and unique experience.
In other news… A Nigerian man has gone viral after revealing how a woman completely changed his feelings toward her with a single display of financial sense during their second date.
The man explained on social media that he had planned to take the relationship slowly, but her reaction to an expensive purchase immediately made him believe she might be the one.
The man narrated that they went to a Coldstone Creamery inside ShopRite, where he ordered two medium cups. He was shocked when he heard the price but tried to hide his reaction:
“We went to ShopRite, branched Coldstone, and I confidently ordered two medium cups. Guy they said 14k per cup. I no really complain make I no look like mumu.”
However, his date immediately stepped in and suggested a cheaper alternative:
“But she immediately said, ‘That’s way too overpriced, let’s just get something cheaper.’ No embarrassment, no orming, no entitlement, just pure concern.”
She then took him to a frozen yogurt spot where they bought cones for ₦2,500 each, and she was “totally fine with it.”
The man admitted this simple act drastically altered his perception of her:
“Now here’s the part messing with my head: I’ve been stalling the relationship because I don’t want to rush and regret. But that one small act actually made me look at her different, she might actually be the one. Or am I just over thinking??”
