Media Personality, Toke Makinwa, shared a story on her Instagram page
this afternoon, of how a certain young man ended their "relationship"
because he felt she was from a poorer background. What she wrote below...
"On
this journey to success, it is important to inspire and motivate others
so that on the days you feel less motivated, you too can find
inspiration in another persons success story. Today I remembered
something deep. I used to like this one guy and he didn't like me back
like I liked him. He was into me but something was off.
One day after he
was breaking up with me yet again I asked him why he didn't think we
would work out? He responded with "we are from different worlds", he
said his family had high expectations of him to bring home someone of a
similar background to his and he couldn't take us further cos basically
to him my daddy was a nobody. I cried to bed that night but even in my
tears, I developed a hunger for success. I never wanted to feel that way
again so I vowed to make a name for myself. To make something out of my
life. I got my shit together and started working hard cos I already
know what it feels like to be a "nobody", I wanted to become more. I
work hard to be more, to inspire and to leave my name in the stars. I'm
not quite there yet but I'm on a journey and I feel so blessed to love
what I do. Radio/Tv/Vlogging and basically monetizing my life. My career
makes me dream and Prayer helps me key into my dreams. With faith I see
that God rewards diligence. Today I'm still building, brick by brick,
stone after stone, I will get there and you too can"she wrote
