Toke Makinwa has emerged as NET Honours Class of 2021 Most Popular Female Media Personality.
NET Honours recognises achievers in the entertainment industry through a thorough analysis of audience search results, social media interactions and trends, taking into account the year in review.
Toke wins the Most Popular Female Media Personality Award for the second year in a row, cementing her status as one of Nigeria’s elite media personalities. During the pandemic lockdown that forced everyone to restrict movement, she switched gears to short videos on TikTok, which soon became a social favourite.
Since the entrepreneur first ventured on air, she hasn’t stopped working, growing or learning. Her social media platform keeps getting bigger and stronger, and her brand more recognisable. Ranking as an A-Lister on the SocialCred App, Toke affirms her position as the undisputed Queen of Nigerian social media. Her YouTube channel, Toke Moments, continues to thrive with her repertoire of guests ranging from ex-BBNaija Housemate Dorathy Bachor to Actress Bisola Aiyeola. She is currently working as a host on The Voice Nigeria.
Makinwa was nominated alongside other media heavyweights, including radio broadcaster and entrepreneur Gbemi Olateru, TV host Nancy Isime, TV presenter Bolanle Olukanni, comedian and actress Chigul and TV host and food connoisseur Hilda Baci.
Congratulations, Toke Makinwa!
