Nigerian Social Media Personality, Toke Makinwa has revealed how she recently tested positive for COVID-19.

In a post shared on her Instagram page, the social media personality said the experience wasn’t great for her. She said she will never pray forĀ  her enemy to go through such horrifying experience.

She cautioned that the second wave of the pandemic is currently here in Nigeria and warned everyone to take all the COVID-19 protocols seriously.

In her words: ”My COVID-19 experience I have been missing in action for a bit guys, the last two weeks of my life has been pretty tough to handle.

” tested positive for COVID-19 and my experience wasn’t great (I mean it’s Covid), shooting this Vlog was a lot as I am not a 100 percent yet but I’m hopeful the worst days are behind me. Covid is real guys, there is a second wave of the virus in town and it is spreading really fast. I can’t say for sure where I caught it but the worst thing for me was contact tracing. Having to call people I have been exposed to, to tell them to quarantine and trace people they have also been exposed to, the whole thing is a mess.

” share my experience on the Vlog today which is late I know but pls be patient with me, the road to recovery is a lot, I am tired all the time, I have a bit of memory loss and I’m trying to find out what day is what. Doesn’t help that Nigeria itself has gone through something in this time too. Phewwww!!!! Health is the real wealth guys, pls be safe out there. My birthday is in less than a week, I just want to be a again. Covid is real, wear your mask and wash your hands always. Ok bye”
