She took to her Instagram page last night July 24, 2017, and reflected on her time while in the school. Remembering the time her grades were so bad she was advised to withdraw, she also talks about her struggles while in school.
She wrote,
"I haven't always made the right choices but I am thankful for grace. I'm nowhere near perfect, I struggle sometimes but I'm learning to lean on the grace of God to catch me when I fall.
it's quite emotional for me to end my book tour at the University of Lagos cos I remember my time there, I wasn't the brightest student, I had potential but I was a troubled young girl, I didn't care much for my books until one day I was advised to withdraw, and I hit rock bottom.
I had nowhere else to go, my grades were bad, so bad the school asked me to leave. Something happened (grace), there was a meeting with all department heads I was granted mercy on humanitarian grounds.

My lecturers knew I had it in me but I couldn't see what they saw, they decided to give me an extra year to turn it around. It was humiliating, I started not quite at the bottom but it was a struggle.
My mates had graduated and I was in a new class and boy it was hard but I did it. I don't know how but I made a 2:2. Instead of 4 years, I spent 5/6 but I made it out. It is important for me to go back and meet with the students in Unilag, the ones doing great and the students that are struggling too.
Sometimes it takes sharing your story to inspire someone to believe in themselves and I'm always up for it."
Meanwhile, the radio presenter seems ready to give love another chance but she is keeping her cards close to the chest.
Makinwa, who is rumoured to be dating US-based Oluseyi Kuye shared a picture of herself and an anonymous man rocking a pair of Gucci shoes on Snapchat back in June.

9 Ways to Have Better Skin Without Wearing Any Makeup

1. Slough away dead cells to reveal softer, more luminous skin.  Even if you already use a physical exfoliator (a formula boasting scrubbing beads to buff your complexion), adding a chemical exfoliator to your regimen will make a big difference in the look and feel of your skin. Once a week (or twice, depending on how sensitive your skin is), skip using your usual serum or moisturizer, and replace it with a leave-on chemical exfoliator, like  Le Weekend De Chanel Weekly Renewing Face Care , which uses ingredients like glycolic acid to exfoliate your skin deeply, cleansing your pores of dirt, oil, bacteria, and debris that can lead to breakouts, and rose water to help calm the skin as the exfoliator does its work. Just remember to apply sunscreen immediately afterward, since it will make your skin sensitive to the sun's rays. 2. Slather on SPF like it's your job.  The sun causes a slew of issues from broken blood vessels to brown spots, so to keep your compl...

How to Go to Church in Style

Religion is a huge part of who we are especially as Africans. When picking out Sunday church clothing the first important thing to consider is comfort. Back in biblical times, men and women wore these cloaks that are robe-like and loose, fastened by a sash, a long piece of cloth with holes for arms and head made of leather or haircloth which was worn under the cloak. They wore sandals as footwear and their church attires were so much different from what we wear today. The point of church outfits is to feel free and comfortable. That doesn’t mean you have to wear flip-flops, shorts and ripped tees, but you have to feel confident and think only about God, so nothing disturbs your feelings and thoughts. Here are fashionable African print outfits you can wear to church on Sundays and still look modest. When it comes to church dress, you can never go wrong with Aso Ebi styles. The dresses are decently made…Normally long skirts with a top (just like kaba and slit) and a ma...
