The Juice show host, Tolu ‘Toolz’ Oniru is grateful for her amazing journey so far in the Nigerian entertainment industry and she can’t help but be grateful.

The bodacious beauty reacted to her inclusion in the elite YNaija PowerList announced in March by the editors of the online newspaper giving thanks and showing appreciation for all the support she’s got along the way.

Toolz who was profiled with the likes of popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, Ayeni Adekunle, Uche Pedro and more, was selected for being “bodacious, beautiful and brainy. She has parlayed her OAP duties on Beat FM into a position of power, being able to fast track or stall careers with her choice of playlist.”

Read her inspiring reaction below:

“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”
