Media personality, Toke Makinwa, will on November 28 release a biography titled On Becoming.

After teasing fans with a promo video last week, the 32-year-old unveiled the book cover on Instagram on Thursday.

The socialite whose marriage to Maje Ayida crashed in 2015 over allegations of infidelity, neglect and wickedness said God told her to write the book.

Today is the most exciting day of my life. Today I Become ❤️… I hereby introduce you to #OnBecoming. At the beginning of last year (2015) when the lord told me I was going to write a book I was confused. Is it God’s voice, is it mine???? How will this work? I never planned to write a book, what I’m I supposed to write. I did what I had become used to, I ran. Just Like Jonah; I ran. I pushed it deep down and completely let it go. And then it began, God started sending people to me. Every time someone told me they thought I should write a book, I remembered my conversation with God in January but I was still unsure. (Fear maybe), I felt the idea was great but deep down I was not fully convinced. Then came June and my world fell apart. My world was crushed completely and in all of the pain I heard it again. This time, I knew what happened to me happened for a reason. I am a city set on a hill. My life will reflect God’s glory. I have been given a platform to share and God was going to use my pain. In the pain there was a message and On Becoming was conceived. On Becoming is My journey through pain to victory. It is my prayer that God does what he planned from the start with this project. I can’t wait to put “author” in my bio. I wrote a book ya’ll. I did it ?????

“In her memoir, we meet the real Toke Makinwa, going from bubbly child to lonely teenager after the devastating loss of both her parents and now one of Nigeria’s most successful media personalities,” her publicists said.

“She also breaks her silence on the marriage scandal and how it changed her life, finding forgiveness and strengthening her faith in God.

On Becoming is Toke’s journey through pain to victory.”

The famous OAP says she is excited to add author to her profile.
