Toke Makinwa explains her ordeal when she lost a 20Million Naira deal because of her failed marriage
Popular presenter,Toke Makinwa, took to her Instagram handle
to reveal how news of her failed marriage cost
her major sponsorship deals. She said back
then she was distressed but now, she sees the bigger picture. Read her post below:
"When God is involved, it can never be for
less. In my life I have seen him come
thru so many times I'll be selfish if I
keep it to myself. I remember when we
started the OnBecoming tour, we
approached a number of companies for
sponsorship and one particular incident
left me sooo broken. We had been
talking back and forth and all was
looking exciting till the news of the legal
suit hit the press. I remember I was in
Ghana and the night before
OnBecominginGhana was amazing.
I woke up in such high spirit till the news
filtered the air and then I got that call,
our "potential" had pulled out. I read that
text over and over again in tears, they
pulled out because they didn't want to
be thrown in the middle of it all (who
can blame them) boy was I hurt, I was
broken. I had put so much into this
project and prayed so hard yet here I
was disappointed, I felt I wasn't good
enough, I couldn't pray and then it hit
me, this has happened before, I
remember when the news of my
marriage hit the press I was in the
middle of signing a 20million Naira deal,
all was good to go till news broke and it
seemed like what everyone was talking
about.
They pulled out. It was bad timing.I
remember how I held the toilet bowl all
night, I have never felt that kind of pain
in my life. I have worked hard, prayed
hard and God knows I needed that
money. My life had changed overnight, I
was trying to hold on to everything and it
seemed like everything was working
against me but God came thru, he
provided much more than that deal and I
have never had to look back to think "if
only" I had that money, he kept blessing
me. In both cases God over
compensated me, SA is looking really
good, I can't wait to share who our
sponsor for the OnBecominginSA is, they
are not just flying me to SA, my entire
team is coming to and everything is paid
for in full. Why do I share this you may
ask? Perhaps you woke up this morning
feeling defeated, you are about to stop
trying, you're so sure your idea sucks
and no one will support you, hold on. You
are closer than you know,. God has
bigger and better plans for you, he knows
you've cried all night, he knows what
this means to you, he will come thru
even better "
