Toke Makinwa is the cover girl for the latest issue of Fame Magazine,
and the theme for the September Issue shoot shows Toke Makinwa in a slum
neighborhood. In one of the photos, Toke stands tall, angelic and regal
in the midst of shabbily dressed kids.
This photo in particular has being being heavily criticized by Nigerians
as promoting Western media's racist notions that Africa is filled with
poor communities.
Another view holds that the contrast between Toke and the kids is too
glaring to be ignored as she stands like a white goddess in the midst of
black shabbiness. Some even pointed out that there are only two kids
smiling in the photo.
