Nigeria’s On Air Personality, Toke Makinwa, has said she accomplished everything she set out to at the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, though she was the butt of a joke.

Recall that Makinwa was among Nigeria’s 1,411 delegation to COP-28, which raised eyebrows.

Makinwa, who spoke in the latest episode of her podcast on YouTube: “TokeMoments,” said she was the butt of a joke among Nigerian dignitaries that attended the summit.

This followed a question thrown to her by her guest on the show, Ini Edo.

The actress asked Makinwa: “How did your attendance of the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai go?

“Did you get into the conversations from the panels?”

Makinwa replied: “Yes. I accomplished everything I set out to do with it.

“I was just shocked.

“And I think because Dubai is three hours ahead of Nigeria, I woke up to see the backlash on social media.

“For me, it started feeling serious when important people started calling me.

“And I think that for me was funny.

“I walked into this hotel in Dubai where they were a lot of important people, all of them had seen the backlash and they started calling me ‘item seven’ and it was funny.

“We all just laughed.

“It was so funny.”
