Former first lady of the United States, had announced on Twitter on Sunday, February 25, 2018, about the launch of her book “Becoming.”
It appeared Toke Makinwa whose book “On Becoming” has a similar title was overjoyed about the news and went to praise Michelle Obama on her Instagram page for her book and the story she has to tell not forgetting to mention that their books both have similar titles
The post read:
“Way to go MO!!!!! I wrote a book called “On Becoming…”, it’s the first of many as I am still on a journey to become! She’s written a book called “Becoming”. Everyone has a story to tell no matter who you are or where you are from. We are all traveling thru life and It is important to share your story. You never know who needs your strength to get thru their demons.
“Everything that’s happened to you, happened for you and the more you break the barriers of shame, accept the past and use it to shape who you become for the future; the more you rise. I cannot wait to read her own journey to becoming who she is now and I hope this further inspires anyone out there to live in their truth and shine thru each phase of their lives. #OnBecoming #Becoming #Powerofwords #tunnelvision #OnBecomingBold #Onbecomingmore,” she wrote.
For rather unknown reasons the post was perceived to be more of a self appraisal than a goodwill message to the former first lady,by a fan who didn’t mince words in sending a harsh message which read:
“Girl this is not about you.. Let make that clear.. Lol,” she wrote.
Toke blantantly refused to let this slide and blasted the fan in a post which read:
“Oh shut up already! Her story is not mine but it’s one of her journeys. What have you done with your life?Who’s life have you made better with your own story?” she replied.
It may be recalled that Toke Makinwa had on Sunday, November 27, 2016, launched her book “On Becoming.” The event which held at The Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos, was attended by close friends, family, industry colleagues, and well-wishers.
