She attended St. Annes Secondary School, where she used to drum. She was a drummer girl. Then, she played handball and football too. She revealed she was even in the Oyo State team.
Toyin says she came from a poor family even though she believes it was still fun. According to her she grew up in a small community, like a village "but it was fun". Because they were so healthy, we ate fresh food and there was nothing to worry about.

In an interview when asked a few detail about her background;
Were your parents farmers?
No, they were not but that was what they could afford at that time. Though, we did a little farming, my mum is a pastor and founder of churches. My dad used to work with Ibru in Benin but has retired a long time. He is also helping in the church as well.
What was it like being poor?
Well, I didn’t know we were poor; I just got to realize it. You know there are some people who are poor and you look at them that they are poor but they don’t see it. It was later I realized that we were poor. It was later I realized that that was why we couldn’t eat spaghetti because we couldn’t afford it, and we ate rice once in a week. But to me it was fun and it was just a normal way of living. It was when I was growing up that it really dawned on me. When I got to school, I also noticed but really it was fun for me growing up that I hardly took notice that we were poor.

According to her; Her parents didn’t like her wanting to be an actress at first but her mum just called her and gave her some words of advice, that she should hold the family’s name in high esteem. They don’t watch movies but sometimes people watch and they tell them, and when they ask her about some roles she played, she tries to explain to them or sometimes she just tell them that’s not her.
Toyin said she's played roles in movies that she regrets. Trust me. She believes it is because of the passion she has for the job, she play some roles and she wants them to look real. When she leaves the set, she will be like ‘why did I do this?’ Or when she watch some movies she's acted in, she will ask herself ‘why did I play this role like this?’ Often times she wonder why she has not met her husband long time ago to correct her about some things.

You see, I am a kind of person that is very free with everyone. I don’t keep to myself, even if you are an upcomer, I don’t care who you are. I am just me and I am free with everybody. When my car was stolen, he had the opportunity to ask me about it, and we became friends. At that time I was single, I had issues with my ex, so we became friends and we got talking and I realized he was even three years older than me.
