When something is beyond some people's comprehension, they call it a lie. It's called Grace...:-). Media Personality, Toke Makinwa who is currently in USA
for her book tour lectured a group of graduate students in NYU on
Wednesday, April 19th. She shared new photos from the lecture and
addressed people who claimed she lied about it. She wrote;
Aww...thank you Prof L.
Getting
feedback of my guest lecture at NYU warms my heart. This was my first
attempt at teaching and it went really well. To share my knowledge on
brand building even while I'm still learning can only be a blessing from
God and I am available to be further used by him. Was I nervous? Hell
yeah. But just the thought of a Nigerian girl sharing her success story
to a room full ofI multinational students was enough to push me. Funny
thing is while the lecture was going on God used the ignorance of many
to further illustrate my point to the class. The students checked me out
online and found out I was trending and it led to questions about
dealing with negative feedback from customers and how to deal with the
not so great comments and it was nice to use a practical example. You
can't take the good alone, try as much as possible to cater to every
customer there will be some that are completely hard to please and
that's ok! Keep working on your product, keep evolving and pushing the
envelope, don't get distracted, keep at it till you perfect your craft
and even after you think you have, there's still some room to become
some more.
I pray my life inspires someone out
there to be BOLD in the face of storms, I hope you take a chance and
live unapologetically. #onbecomingaglobalbrand#NYU #guestlecturer

Lol.. Toke u try.. no mind us!
God bless you Toke. Your life is already an inspiratins to many. Forget the haters.
I can imagine the kind lecture taking place here with empty chairs. I can only count 5 heads of attendees. She mustu prove to us that she was indeed invited at all cost. Another fame whore like kim kartrashiĆ n...! #yimu š
GO Girl.....
You go girl... I am with you on this one.
Am happy because reading that it was a lie was a bit alarming to tell such a big lie like that
Thank God for the grace of God on her......but then I won't blame anyone who doubt that she could lecture anyone talk more undergraduates. We all know Toke as a party freak.......so cool if she's grown into a better woman now......#graceatwork
Don't be ignorant, if you studied abroad you'd know that classes can actually be as small as 1 student only
People are so dumb. Why would she lie about this? This is not Nigeria where students are packed in classes. Some of my undergrad classes had 10 students. Graduate classes are even smaller.
Your life is sooo Bitter!!!
Get some honey in your life!

You stupid fam
Hmmmmmm
Yeah, Baby girl Toke doing big things. I am happy for her. It is not easy, if it is easy naysayers should go get their own invitation to even lecture kindergarten in New York much more university. Her late parents would have been very proud of her, were they still here with us.
It's good that great things are happening to that girl who has experienced pains from losing both parents, has been orphaned and survived. I refuse to add her marriage breakdown to things here because it's high time she moved above that and forge ahead. She is stronger than that event in her life and should let great things like this define her and not be known for the way her marriage broke down.
Must you comment Nnenne?Let's try and see something positive thing in our fellow nigerian.Empty chair?So??#Receive sense
Congrats Toke Makinwa,it's grace for real and keep soaring high#More of God's grace in your life
I 've really started noticing how bitter u are as a woman on this blog. People pls not everyone u see on social media is normal, this Nnenne can't just be normal.
You this female pig will you keep quiet? Your greatest achievement in life is being among the first 5 to always comment on this blog! Do you even have a life? U are always filled with so much hatred! Were u raped as a kid? What is wrong with u. Even if she lectured to only one student, its an achievement, its not easy to lecture in NYU. If its easy tell your mother to go and lecture there. Idiot
Please I'm a student of NYU. This is quite insulting. Things don't work here likening Nigeria. A professor who happens to be Toke''s friend invited her to speak to her class...NYU didn't invite Toke pls.

You kwanu??? Nnenne George, Have you lectured in a class with one chair and one person??? in New York? Or even in your village?? Such witchcraft bitterness. Haba!!!
Only four people in the class? They had to beg four people to sit down so that Toke can take pictures in the classroom. Toke qantinu
One word, STAGED! Easy to give out freebees and sit in font of computer for a photo section.
Show ur invitation letter simple
And the 1st picture, u still counted 5 heads ..u need to invest more in your counting skills nd less blabbing..she understands perfectly how this game works and she is milking it.. u go girl child. It is possible! Celebrate your own when they are alive.
Linda you too is misleading the public. This is the fact. Toke was invited by a PRIVATE LECTURER/PROFESSOR (a Nigerian) to address her students.
Toke invite per sec WAS NOT OFFICIALLY known by NYC university bodies therefore not representative the way TOKE misled people to believe she was invited by the university instead this was a PRIVATE arrangement.
Everything about Toke is always sensational & blown up most times misleading.
Even if Toke lectured 5 people,she still lectured and impacted knowledge! I just do not understand the hate. People that cannot stand up and read Bible passage in church too will be opening mouth about empty seats.
That harsh for a fellow woman? You need to chill! 5 or 1,000 it's still a lecture.
So many jealous people in Nigeria. Well done Toke. You are admirable. Life fhrew lemons at you and you made Delicious lemonade with them. Wishing you all the best and more grace. God bless
hehe
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
After all the noise you taught a class of less than ten people?even my 7 year old can do better! We are not interested in your exploits time as you have nothing but parties and showing off to offer.get lost!!!
Yoke, you went to talk to some people in a cybercafe and you call it lecture.
That's a university hall?
Whither art Nigeria?
You really are an idiot Nnenna. Clearly you never schooled abroad! Do you think a class in NYU is packed with 300 students like your village school??? You are insane. Spewing hate everywhere! Nkita.
Thank God for the grace of God on her......but then I won't blame anyone who doubt that she could lecture anyone talk more undergraduates. We all know Toke as a party freak.......so cool if she's grown into a better woman now......
@ Nnenne George, why is your heart filled with hatred. You've never commented anything good about a story. You are always looking out for negative side of a story, even when there is none. You better change your manner of thinking for your own good.
Its haters take this..... NTOR
And wonder why ur life is at a standstill when you can't accommodate some else's success?
Long live LIB
@Anonymous 08:19 you think schools there is like your village university, that cannot boast of computers even the computer department.
@Florence Ledor,"clearly u hv never schooled abroad " y honour her with such a statement, did she school in Nigeria???!!! Ask yourself which literate person talks the kind of nonsense that this olodo Nnenne George talks.
What is with some pple? Even if Toke was invited by a student to speak with her fellow course mates, it's still some achievement bcos it speaks to her brilliance. Talk more of a prof, at NYU. Unfortunately for haters Toke Makinwa is a go getter. She's not someone dat gets put down by unwarranted negative attacks. So pls guy's save yourselves the heart ache.
Mumu, first it's NYU and not NYC university. The university leadership don't get involve in the nitty gritty of guest lecturers that lecturers in invite to class. Also, enemies of progress like you, and instablog sensationalized it.
"Today I am super excited about teaching a class of undergraduates at NYU on building a successful brand in the digital space. I will be sharing my journey so far on building my brand, I hope it's fun"-Toke Makinwa
ThefakeAkon, where's the sensalization in the above quote? The likes of you and the retarded lawyer wannabe (Richard Somade) blew it out of proportion. May God heal y'all of bitterness. Chikena!
PS: She's not a "private" lecturer. She's an NYU lecturer. She earned it, pls respect her. Olodo making it sound like the lady is a lesson teacher
Exactly my thought as posted here. Toke with her exaggeration! Blown up big time!
Anonymous 01:14,this your information still sounds bitter. Even to have a professor friend in NYU na joke??? She had a lecture, how ?? It doesn't matter. And how did you know the Professor who is her friend. Your mind is still stock in the bitterness gutter. Toke is going places, try not to kill yourself over it!!!!
This nnenne, you kept showing us how ignorant you are, counting the number of heads hun? , you think is like most Nigeria University where students are packed like sardine
