For being named as one of the top ten most powerful people in the Nigerian media, media personality Tolu Oniru aka Toolz a few hours ago shared her inspiring story on instagram.
She narrated how she started her journey and how God has tremendously blessed her.
I’m
not one for long epistles on Instagram, but sometimes I think about my
journey and I am still truly baffled. God is so incredibly awesome! 5
years ago, I moved back to Lagos, not knowing what to expect, but
willing to work very hard. The plan wasn’t to go into
entertainment/media…the plan was to manage properties, but God had a
different plan. I remember being so insecure when I did my voice-test and
not really thinking I was any good.
Then I got a call back offering me a
position – My own show. I remember thinking – these people are having a
laugh, I’ve never done any presenting in my whole life. Then my show on
the Beat got popular, and bigger and greater things followed.
I’m
eternally grateful to everyone involved in this journey. It’s not always
easy, sometimes being in the public eye makes you want to stay in bed
and sob all day, but by His grace I keep on keeping on. I get so
emotional when ppl send me emails, saying I inspire them. I never ever
thought it would be like this.
I’ve come a long way and I’m proud of where I am today…I also know
God has only just started!
Moral of the story- never give up and remember that with God, anything
is possible. #Grateful #Thankyou
