Popular Nigerian media figure Toke Makinwa recently addressed speculation surrounding her daughter’s father’s identity after welcoming her first child.

A curious fan suggested that Toke’s baby daddy might be Muslim, citing the name choice for her daughter, Yakiria Eliana, born in August 2025.

 

The fan remarked, “I believe Yakira’s dad is Muslim.”

 

Toke promptly clarified that her daughter’s name has Hebrew origins, not Muslim, emphasizing its beautiful meaning.

 

She wrote in response, “No, he isn’t. Yakira is a Hebrew name—it stands for ‘beloved, precious, and someone of great value.’”
