Popular media personality, Toke Makinwa has revealed why she had a surgery.
The media personality made this revelation in her latest vlog where she said she had to deal with a lot of pain initially because she didn’t want to have surgery.
She said she attended churches, had lots of prayers, took a lot of communion but none took the fibroids away.
“I have been battling fibroid for 6 going on 7 years and it’s been one hell of a ride.
“I think I was diagnosed 7 years ago. I finally decided to do something about the situation this year because it was getting to the point where it was beginning to affect me.
“I was in a lot of pains I couldn’t sit up properly it was beginning to push against certain organs inside of me. it was just nasty and a total disaster.
“I started wearing undergarment body magic just to make so, i don’t look bloated and pregnant cos I didn’t want to have surgery.
“Trust me I have been to Mountian of Fire, been through ever church service, taken all the communions and done all the fasting and prayer. It just didn’t get better.
“If you are like me and scared of going under the knife it can be a terrible experience, it was successful and I’m alive, I’m her,” Toke said.
Thank God for her. Some people just refuse to do the needful and it has cost many their lives.
ReplyDeleteToke u cannot receive a miracle if u live in SIN( adultery, formication, lies,bitterness etc).
DeleteU must surrender totally to God Almighty for his Grace and Miracle to take root in your life.
I hate how other church do this ' Holy communion thing' I prefer d Catholic way biko, go for confession,be above a certain age b4 receiving it.
I had Ovarian cyst, 4 heavy fibroid, 3embeded in my womb, I was told point blank, belle no fit stay and truly I lost one, but as I enter prayer with total submission to God! As in, we Die here kinda prayers and a clean lifestyle, omo my womb and fibroids bowed to the voice of God!
I have a beautiful child now with major complications of low lying placenta till 8 and half weeks , was prepped for a C.s but the God of David showed me Mercy, labour started and my Doc insisted I push.
U can't lie to God, is not possible, living in Sin and expecting a miracle? Wawa,e no fit happen.
If u operated on it, I advice u to take in ASAP. Best of luck
Anonymous 18.38 yiure very judgemental.when did you become God? Keep your opinions to yourself and leave Toke alone. I hate when people do this!
DeletePlease keep shut!
DeleteYou know nothing about the good, gracious, merciful and kind God we serve. He is not a trade by batter kinda God.
Read a bible if you have one. So many people Jesus healed were undeserving sinners.
It's actually mercy and Grace that caused repentance.
Thank God you could never be God.
Anon 18:88 You are not God and God doesn't reason like man.
DeleteLet God be the one to judge Toke and her way of life.
God is still in the business of doing miracles oh! He has healed the sick, raised the dead and what is fibroids that he can't take it away? If your faith can carry you, pray and God will just flush it off in a twinkle of an eye, but if you're a fair weather Christian better go and operate on it if you so wish, but doing as if God is no more doing miracles is offensive. I agree with anon 18:38, Jesus Christ said that this won't go except by prayer and fasting. If you are living your life as you like and always pray whenever you need miracle, then God is not a magician. Even Jesus did not heal for free, the prize is FAITH. You have to have a level of faith to receive such miracles, 'a total submission' kind of faith, not 'as needed' kind of faith, please! My God has healed me of my fibroids of over 12 years, no doctor, nor anything else. Babies loading.....

DeleteBIG DEAL!!!! IS JUST A FIBROID AND I HAVE IT TOO. GUESS TOKE BEING AN ATTENTION WHORE THAT SHE IS WILL MAKE IT WHAT IS NOT
DeleteAll this 3 pple above be Fooling themselves with God is not man, pls read the holy book, read to understand.... I agree with 18;38. U need faith not necessarily holy communion or dry fasting. All u need is faith
DeleteCan you just keep quiet. So women can't have surgery in peace again. And who told you God is not the one that made the surgery successful and brought her out alive. You think it's just man.
DeleteI know a lady that died during surgery last year from this same fibroid. She was 41 and left a hubby and young kids. And she went to a very good known hospital. They said she over bled and went into shock.
Let people who want to seek medical help do so
Successful surgery is also a miracle.
Gosh I hate judgemental ppl
Thank God for you Toke but why does the internet have to know?
DeleteToke the attention seeker, madam tell it all 😎😱😬😷. I thought uve made enough money over your "tell it all book" to last at least 1 years plus to keep your mouth shut and get you off social media but it's obvious inferiority complex will never let you rest, always wanting to choke people with news about you 😏😏😏🙄.
DeleteSo women that have surgeries are fair weather Christians? Anon the first, you think it is because you prayed so much etc, just be thankful for God’s mercies and stop mouthing off!!
DeleteThe world has to know because the world judged her about not getting pregnant in her previous Marriage. World people said she doesn't sit at home to gaze into the air and tend to her husband because baby girl was all over the place.
DeleteJudgemental people? I guess u mean people who tell u the truth. It's hard to the ears, isn't it? Just ask God to give u the grace to live right.
DeleteMust everything be on social media? Cant you be secretive?
ReplyDeleteYeye celebrity.
i tire ooo. this woman sef she sabi yarn
DeleteAs much as I am
DeleteNot a Toke fan but yes, sometimes it is best to speak out!! Live your life freely and openly!! That can be inspiring to others . In fact to people you do not expect!
So many women have died from refusing fibroid surgeries so yes, this wasn’t a bad one...
By the way, the same people saying she shouldn’t have said it are probably the same that have been telling her to go and born...
Human beings ... tufia! This life, it’s best to just do YOu
Wowww thank God for successful surgery.
ReplyDeleteYears to come it will reoccur if she doesn't get pregnant.
Ha Toke. Everything sha! U must talk. Dem use SM do u?
ReplyDeleteLook who is talking. SmH
Delete4:28 BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I know right!!!!
DeleteAwwww I don’t know why I have a soft spot for this babe. Im happy she used her platform for something this relevant or shall I say important this time. Many people are afraid of going under the knife.
ReplyDeleteMy friend got married and had the first miscarriage. She didn’t know it was first of many. She finally went to a specialist hospital, they removed over 50 fibroids from her. After 5 years of marriage she and her hubby finally carried their lovey child in her arms.
God bless you! For once she talk relevance talk and women are still castigating her!!
DeleteIs fibroid something to now hide? What did she say that’s so bad? I’m not even a fan but the Naija women mentality irks me sometimes
Fibroids and Hair relaxers...strong link. African women stop using the chemicals on your hair. The white man won’t tell you because it doesn’t affect them.
ReplyDeleteNot just relaxers. Roll on, perfumes and moisturisers contain certain chemicals that can mimic and disrupt your natural hormonal ecosystem. Watch out for " Methyl Parabens" on cosmetics. Though black women are more predisposed than Caucasians I think. There are people with natural hair who have fibroids.
DeleteAre you serious? Thanks.
DeleteAhhh thanks for educating us Anon and Ajebo
DeleteAna Asupu, inukwa natural hormonal ecosystem 😂
Delete19:09 I follow you Laff wella ooh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 inukwa natural hormonal ecosystem... bekee wu agbara daa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteContinue feeding people with lies natural hormonal ecosystem "laffing in Dutch language Mgbeke 😏😏🙄.
DeleteSo, people who have never retouched their hair or use deodorants and have fibroid got it from where? You of course. Gerraout of here jor
When people form ITK... lmao😂😂😂😂
DeleteOlodo rabatas. Ignorance kee you there. Instead of them to ask for the meaning they are laughing like village women who just saw something new. Ecosystem is a general term used to explain a complex network or dynamics of a system. For example, "silicon valley's entrepreneurial ecosystem". It is there at the very first page on Google. Your body's natural hormonal ecosystem in this context is the natural way your estrogen, progestin, etc levels drop, rise and interact to prepare you for pregnancy. Yes you can disrupt this system if you take certain drugs or expose your body to certain chemicals. Even doing too much sports can alter your natural hormonal ecosystem. Putting on weight can alter this ecosystem. Taking phytoestrogens like Soya beans milk can alter this ecosystem. Sometimes, you will notice that your period blood is black brownish. When you exercise too much, it will start turning bright red to almost pink and watery. You don't need to use relaxers to have fibroids anon 01:38 olodo.
DeleteI have heard of guys (and even doctors) lying to small girls that if they lose their virginity, their menstrual pain will stop. I have heard of women who have spent up to 10 million on IVF when you can use a surrogate for half that amount. Some women don't know that they can still carry a baby to term after menopause, with donor eggs. Or that you can have similar pregnancy dynamics like your birth mother. That means if she had history of pre eclampsia, hbp diabetes or recurring miscarriages, you're likely to present similar situations. Ask your mother how pregnancy was for her so that you will be prepared against anything.
LEARN HOW YOUR BODY WORKS NIGERIAN WOMEN. LEARN. They will not. They prefer people giving them "concortion" to drink and clerics lying to them that they're under spiritual attack.
Haha nice comeback ajebo
DeleteNigerians and ignorance. I’ve noticed some Nigerians hate educated people or when people say something they perceive as intellectual. They feel you’re displaying ITK and over sabi, instead of them to sit their black asses down and learn. Me I’ve sha learnt something new. No wonder fibroids is prevalent among black women, your theory makes so much sense.
And you’re right, Nigerian women need to get EDUCATED about their bodies. In addition to what you said, I don’t know why some people see a cesarian session as a taboo. I’ve heard of some pregnant women who died because they wanted to “birth like Hebrew women”(whatever the fuçk that means) and refused to go through a CS. Even when it was obvious that was the only option.
People that’ll prefer to pray and fast over their ailment and ultimately die instead of seeking adequate medical help. It’s good as Toke came out to say this, maybe they’ll listen. Praying and fasting is good but it’s not the answer, you need to go the hospital and get treatment. And there’s nothing wrong in surgery.
ThankGod for Successful Surgery..
ReplyDeleteAnything to trend
ReplyDeleteShe must say everything. The person chopping her ex was trending as a strong woman. Madam had to remind the world she too is strong. All of una go dey alright las las

ReplyDeleteThanks to Toke for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty Sure she has encouraged some peeps who are scared of going under the Knife.
Toke you are a sweet Lady.
We never fully know what people go through.
ReplyDeleteThe insults from social media not knowing her struggles could lead to depression.
Always be nice with your words.
if you give world people something to talk about, ofcourse be ready for diffrent opinions, some harsh, some kind.. Keep ur shit out of public, them no gree...
DeleteCelebs like Ramsey, Genevieve, which other "closed mouth" celeb sef? if them tell u some personal struggles theyve xperienced u wont bliv.
God bless you Anonymous 18:41,Tokes news have become really irritating Attention seeker 🙄😏😏😎
DeleteThere is a lot that Nigerians can learn from this story, and that is that science itself is a gift from God. God is both an artist and a scientist - Artist if you look at the beauty of creation and how he drew animals and gave them life, molded dust and gave it life. Scientist if you think of how the process of human body works.
ReplyDeleteWhile miracles do happen and are great, sometimes God works through his creation. He respects his own creation, it's not everytime he does 'magic'. He didn't throw Jesus down from heaven magically, naah, Jesus was born like every other human. God created the world in completion. All the raw materials he gave us to use and find solutions to our problems. . The possibility of Toke's surgery is a gift from God. I see better and more clearly with my glasses. That glasses itself, is a miracle!
God bless you...you are a child of God!!!...I couldn't agree less👏👏
DeleteThank you Cheeksi... those asking her to shhhh it up her axx, don’t know the reason behind her broadcasting it for all to hear, it’s for learning.
DeleteDon’t die in your ignorance.
There are so many women who have refused or are discouraged to remove their fibroids, with a post such as this, you would see or notice that many would be motivated to go see their doctors for possible evacuation.
Ride on Toks
Almost all women will have some kind of growth in the womb during their pre menopause years. Its asymptomatic for most though. Nigerian women need to come together and demystify these things. Some will call it spiritual problems. Some will say it's from being wayward, etc. Some have resorted to self medication and trado medical care herbs that are dangerous. Fibroids/endo/cysts can be either from a genetic predisposition (your mother had it) or estrogen dependent.
ReplyDeleteYou see, the womb is like a farm land that you cultivate and add fertiliser on it (ovulation and menstruation), but if you don't plant anything on it, weed and rodents will occupy it. If it is left vacant for a long period of time. That is why some pregnant women will notice that their menstrual pain has reduced after childbirth. Also, don't be afraid to get on the pill to manage your fibroids. Many studies with hundreds of women have proven that it won't have adverse effects on your fertility. Runs girls that used pills and had abortions with good doctors don't have problems conceiving because these things they do to prevent and stop pregnancy are anti estrogenic. I am not encouraging it, just an explanation. If your doctor prescribes surgery, don't be afraid. Do it. Just make sure it's an experienced doctor. Also, be careful, repeated operations can affect your ovarian reserve. So, if you want kids and you have not found a partner, now is the time to decide on your major priorities. Lastly, watch your diet especially foods high in phytoestrogens like Soya beans and maggi seasoning. Anything you see SOY in it, run away. If you have a teenage daughter complaining of pains and heavy flow, take her for a scan. Menstruation is not supposed to cause debilitating pain. If it hurts, something is definitely broken. Pele Toke.
Thank ypu! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
DeleteGod bless you. In my case I'm not afraid of the surgery. I'm TTC and so my gynae asked me to carry out HSG before the surgery. I have been rescheduled twice now for the hsg and today I was suppose to do it JOHESU is on strike so it cant be done. All this is delaying the surgery. I'm using the teaching hospital here. So you see my case is a pathetic one. How long more do I have to wait. God should just have mercy on me
DeleteI had my surgery and got pregnant after 3 months.I am so grateful to God for changing the story of my life after ttcing for 3 years.
DeleteI remember the consultant that took delivery of my son advised that I allow my body heal for a year and try again cuz they found about 3 tiny fibroids, hmmm.
So once my boy clocks 1, I will try for another baby after which I will forget everything about child bearing. I am 39 by the way so age is not on my side.
I thank God for my son. God will bless every woman seeking the fruit of the woman.
Ttcing is such a bad experience that robs you of joy, peace , self confidence and worth.
Then the decision to the do surgery is another tough call. Fibroid surgery is a bit delicate so my advise is do your research, go to the hospital and let God do his thing.
Awww omeh, I feel your pain. Pele.
DeleteAnon congrats to you. A family friend of mine got pregnant 5months post surgery. Just do sharp sharp and be done with.
Anonymous 21:20, why not have CS during childbirth so they can remove the fibroid and font they give shrinkage drugs in Nigeria since you said its just 3 and tiny.
DeleteA cousin of mine had surgery and 44 fibroid was removed and done tiny ones close to her womb was left.
Congratulations on the birth of your son, wishing you great things in the future.
Thank you so much Ajebo for this info.
DeleteA lot of women have fibroids. It can only be surgically removed. It’s not that invasive anymore because depending on the size, it could a robotic surgery. No deep cuts like that.
ReplyDeleteNow i'm nosy. Was she diagnosed when she was still with Maje? Must be why she couldn't conceive quickly. The fibroids must have been in a place around her womb that was preventing Maje's super swimmers from reaching the promise land and implantation. I remember when people were saying her infertility was because she was always attending parties.
ReplyDeleteHello Toke, if you're reading this, have children now. Fibroids will usually come back. Go to Nisa Premier and freeze your eggs. You can afford it. Sell your Hermes and Chanel. It's just 1.5 million or so. Chicken change to you of course.
You think she will listen?? Toke and her misplaced priorities. All she cares about is slaying and driving a Range😀😀doing it for the gram.
DeleteShe doesn't own Hermes. She said she will rather use the money for it
DeleteAjebo Confi, you are too much.
ReplyDeleteYou are very knowledgeable.
Kiss Kiss Gurl 😘😘😘
Thanks for shading more light on this.
Eyahh! Thank God for successful sugry.
ReplyDeleteIn as much as I agree that some things should be left unsaid, I'm actually grateful she opened up because I've gained a lot of insight already on the cause and prevention of this disease through our honorable BVs. So in a way, she has succeeded in creating awareness about fibroids and growths in general. A round of applause to you Toke
ReplyDeleteSDK I told you!!!! Do you see things I've learnt here now??? They're not done ooo, comments are still coming. Kikikiki, this blog rocks! Great Bvs. Stella Love thanks okay.
ReplyDelete#It is better to conquer yourself, than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you*
ReplyDeleteYou guys, I'm telling you from experience; whenever you see any signs of anything wrong with your abdomen, anything unusual, please go and get checked!
ReplyDeleteI had an abortion when I was 18-dumbest mistake I ever made in my life! Because the abortion was done by a quack, I got very ill afterwards. They found out I had an infection from the abortion and they treated me with antibiotics and I got well and was cleared of the infection.
So you can imagine my concern when I got married 10 years later and then by 2 years after marriage, I still wasn't conceiving. When I went to the doctor, he asked me if I had painful menstrual cramps.Truth be told, I did, in fact, I could be admitted to hospital just because of cramps and it worsened after the abortion. Yet I didn't go to a specialist because plenty other girls got unbearable menstrual cramps so I thought it was normal.
It turns out that what was causing the severe cramps was that the infection I had 12 years ago was not properly treated and I had scar tissue in my fallopian tubes for years. So now my tubes were blocked and that's why I wasn't able to have kids!
Guys, I've now been married for 7 years. In trying to get pregnant, I suffered an ectopic pregnancy which totally damaged my tubes and I had to get them removed. Now my only hope of conception is via IVF-which is so painful and expensive! I've been unsuccessfully trying IVF for 5 years now and it's really depressing! My husband doesn't know I had an abortion and that's what caused my infection; he just knows I had an infection. The guilt is simply unbearable but I can't tell him because I'm afraid he'll leave me for another woman!
Please guys, ask God to forgive me so I can finally have children! Please! This disgrace is too much for me to bear anymore! My mates who got married after me now have 2 kids and 3 kids, one even has 4! I'm now 35 oo! I'm nearing menopause and soon it will be too late for me. This is really personal but I feel like venting, especially as I'm anonymous here!
Please don't be like me; if you realize anything is amiss, just go to the hospital. Don't be shy; doctors are professionals and will not judge. If I had been to the hospital earlier when I noticed the change in my cycle, I could've had surgery to correct the situation before it advanced to this level.
It is well, dear!
DeleteYou shall bear your own children! Didn't we all make the same mistake as young adults? But God is forever merciful! He shall show you mercy too. Be strong! Keep believing and never stop trying. E-hugs.
You will surely bear your own children Anon 00:38.
DeletePlease stop feeling guilty about the abortion. You did what you felt was right for you at the time.
wao, you are so guilt tripped. please forgive yourself. it does not work like that. i was born naturally with one tube and ovary so my natural chances had always been 50%. And my anuty once told me she had 13 abortions b4 marriage but had 4kids from two husbands. even in marriage she was not a saint. you see life happen but God is a merciful God just talk to him in a die there kind of prayer and he will show you the way out of it.
Deleteyou can go to a prayer mountain or mfm prayer city for a number of days. he will meet you personally. i am telling you from personal experience. God bless you.
It is well oooo
