Toke Makinwa, a well-known figure in the media and business world, shared a personal anecdote about her academic struggles during the launch of her perfume line.

She reflected on her time as a student, where she consistently ranked at the bottom of her class academically.

Makinwa recalled a specific incident where she attempted to alter her exam score by using correction fluid to change her ranking from 52nd out of 52 students to 2nd.

However, her mother found out about this deception and reprimanded her sternly.

Her mother consistently woke her up at night to motivate her to prioritize her studies.

As a result, she realized that this experience helped her gain a better understanding of herself and work towards achieving personal goals.

She said;

“Another incident that shaped my life, I was always at the bottom of my class. There was this time we were like 52 in the class, and I came 52, and a part of me thought I was smart, and I cleaned the 5 and left the 2.

I was going home to show my parents that finally, after being bottom of the class, I came second, and when they looked at the report card, they flogged me. She didn’t spare my behind because she was frustrated.

I remember when I was feeling ashamed and down, this was the same woman who believed in me and would wake me in the night, telling me to read. Mummy, I know I came last in class, but today, Mummy, I launched a perfume line”.
