REALLY!!! I Always Come Last In My Class – Toke Makinwa Opens Up

Popular media personality and actress, Toke Makinwa, has revealed how she struggled in school as she always comes last in her class.

The renowned media figure stated during the launching of her perfume line while reminiscing about her academic struggles and how her mother motivated her.

She revealed that there was this one time she took the 52nd position out of 52 students, and she tried to manipulate the result by using pen eraser (tipex) to erase the 5, leaving the 2.

According to Toke, her mom discovered what she did and dealt with her heavily, and subsequently waking her up at night to encourage her to take her studies more seriously.

Toke Makinwa said that experience led her to see herself better and help her become a better version of herself.

Her words;

“Another incident that shaped my life, I was always at the bottom of my class. There was this time we were like 52 in the class, and I came 52, and a part of me thought I was smart, and I cleaned the 5 and left the 2.

I was going home to show my parents that finally, after being bottom of the class, I came second, and when they looked at the report card, they flogged me. She didn’t spare my behind because she was frustrated.

I remember when I was feeling ashamed and down, this was the same woman who believed in me and would wake me in the night, telling me to read. Mummy, I know I came last in class, but today, Mummy, I launched a perfume line”.
