Host
Meet Toke Makinwa – First female GUS Anchor
Currently one of Nigeria’s most influential media personalities, Toke Makinwa is a Radio/TV Personality, Vlogger and Lifestyle Entrepreneur and Author who has established herself as an engaging and hosting talent.
Toke Makinwa’s meteoric rise to fame in the Nigerian media and entertainment industry began from hosting ‘The Morning Drive’ on Rhythm 93.7 FM. She has become more popular for her YouTube vlog series – ‘Toke Moments’, which has made her the centrepiece of social media discussion.
With a career spanning over a decade, the English and Literature graduate from the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has carved a niche for herself in the media and showbiz business, hosting shows and setting trends.
Through her platform, the ‘Baby Girl for Life’, as she calls herself, pushes narratives on marital and relationship issues, which has endeared her to many young Nigerians.
Although Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji previously hosted a special edition of Gulder Ultimate Search – the celebrity all-stars show, Toke becomes the first female host of the survival reality show in its 12-season history.
Toke is no stranger to hosting big-budget shows, having been the host of the maiden BBNaija highlight show, Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria beauty pageant in 2012 and 2021, co-host of EbonyLife TV’s flagship show ‘Moments’, among many others. Now that she’s stepping in to assume hosting duties on GUS, we expect her to bring her A-game to the show, which is arguably the most popular reality show in Nigeria.
