Media personality, Toke Makinwa celebrated her 40th birthday with a thanksgiving session as she was joined many of Lagos celebrities, who were dressed to kill, especially those within the entertainment industry.
Dressed in a white dress with a veiled box hat, the petite Toke, accompanied by some of her friends danced into the hall serenaded by gospel songs by the saxophonist.
Perhaps it was her very modest white fitted long dress with a puffy sleeve, complimented with a veiled box hat, that got many of her guests confused, wondering if they were attending a double event, as there were those who thought it was not just a celebration of Toke’s 40th
birthday, but a ‘union’ between her and Farouk, her ‘best friend’.
The event, which was streamed live on Sunday,20th,October on Toke’s Instagram live chat soon went viral with many of her followers, online fans and friends congratulating her, while also expressing their confusion, asking if she was having a double celebration, since her family and that of Farouk, who was dress in a white attire (matching her white apparel ),were present at the event.
Toke and her “best friend,” Farouk, both sat together on the stage, as he looked at her with adoration, further fueling the suspicions of many that the ceremony was more than a birthday celebration.
That suspicion was soon put to rest when Actress and DJ, Ms. Dsf, who was one of the first people to share the ‘engagement photos’ later said she was joking, and that it wasn’t an engagement ceremony but Toke’s 40th birthday Thanksgiving.
Notable amongst those who turned up at the Thanksgiving birthday party were Mo Abudu, Ruth Osime, Toyin Abraham, Kate Henshaw, Ini Edo, Mercy Aigbe, Vickie James, Swanky Jerry, Denrele among several others from within the entertainment industry.
