Your favorite actress Tonto Dikeh is in the news again, and in this interview with Punch, she reaveals that she has finally found love among other things. Interview excerpts below:
Background
My full name is Tonto Charity Dikeh and I am Ikwerre from Rivers State. I was born into a close-knit family of seven. I studied Petrochemical Engineering at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology. I had a beautiful childhood because my parents did not deny me the good things of life. Memories from my childhood are dear to me and are etched in my mind. I also have a very good relationship with my parents and siblings contrary to what people want to believe.
Music
Acting is my first love and I did not abandon it to become a musician. I still act and I will continue to do so. I will not abandon singing either. In fact, I am working at becoming a better musician because I am still learning the ropes. I am currently working on releasing an album so my fans should expect nothing but the best from me. I am collaborating with a foreign artiste whose name I am not going to mention because I want it to be a surprise.
Interests
Apart from acting and music, I am also a businesswoman. I like to buy landed properties anytime I see what I like and realise I can afford it. I have produced several movies and I have gone to countless film schools through the years to hone my skills as an actress and producer. In the future, I hope to have a reality show that would give an insight into my life and the activities I am involved in.
Achievements
Any avid viewer of African movie channels would attest to the fact that three or more movies where I have featured are broadcast every day. I am an Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award winner and a regular face in Nollywood Movies. I am not one to blow my trumpet because I would rather have my works speak for me.
Controversies
Many celebrities say they don’t read comments on stories written about them on the Internet whereas they read them. I am one person who doesn’t visit blogs and websites. It’s a personal decision not to do so. I don’t even know what these blogs are called. I have a cordial relationship with all my colleagues and I have absolutely no issues with Mercy Johnson-Okojie as it was once speculated; we are all cool people.
Personality
I would say I have a great and strong personality. I love myself so much. I am not also as shy as most people think I am. I didn’t let depression eat me up. You have to fight depression and overcome it; I did and won. I started the Tonto Dikeh Foundation so I can help others conquer depression.
Love
I have not always been lucky with love and relationships but right now, I am happy I’ve found love. I have too many thoughts on marriage and I can spend an entire day speaking about it. I will marry whoever God leads me to. The inspiration behind my hit track, Sugar Rush is the fact that love conquers all.
Regrets
I have absolutely no regrets in life because I consider every experience a lesson for me. I am most thankful for the life I am living and don’t wish to be anybody but me.

ReplyDeleteHow can you change your name to Mrs and still say "I'll marry whoever God leads me to"
Was it not the same Tonto that tweeted stuuff about her Family/Sisters?
Was she not the one that made it look like growing up was tough, at a point one of her relatives even called her out.
This babe is Bipolar. Shikena.

ReplyDeleteThis interview must be old.
Stella, trouble maker!!! Post a pic for who nau? It's her pregnancy, let her carry it. E no concern us
ReplyDeleteShould I say happy love life?
ReplyDeleteAlways my love tonto
ReplyDeleteWhen I tell some fools that these actresses have things going on for them apart from acting they doubt it, they think they get all their money from men, most of them are into businesses, landed properties, movie productions, contracts. Too many people just say stupid things about actors cos they are not in their shoes
ReplyDeleteOK oo. This love must be a molue cos the speed with which people jump in and out of it is amazing.
ReplyDeleteTruth don dey come out small small, Tonto is so fake and full of lies.
ReplyDeleteHahahahhaha
ReplyDeleteSdk leave controversial Tonto alone oo.
Tonto you don't visit blogs
If I hear...
Tontolee no mind badbelle pple jare, I like u as u dey real. Enjoy ur new borbor
ReplyDeleteStella Abiakwa abi how them dey talk am. She's not my favourite actress to start with and she should keep her private life off social media. All the best to her.
ReplyDeleteGood for her.. too controversial for my liking n she's always wanting to b in d limelight. I tire for her matter
ReplyDeleteOkay.... She contradicts herself all the time. Maybe she was high when she said her "maid"-her words not mine) is the only family she got. And other things she said too. And why is she calling herself Mrs when she aint married? Other things sha.
ReplyDeletePlenty Plenty Details In Dis Interview.Buh yet,Shallow.
ReplyDeleteGood for her.
ReplyDeleteWe all deserve to love and be loved.
Its good to Love and be Loved. Stay Happy.
ReplyDeleteHit song? Did she say hit song? Taa gbafuo

ReplyDeleteShe is not my favorite actress infact she's not even in d top 10. Congrats sha
ReplyDeleteTonto...if truly u are pregnant...I laugh in swahilli ...mercy Johnson that u so criticised when she gave birth and continued with her career; atleast she gave birth inside wedlock...u are here spoiling our day with finding love ni Mr X ko!
ReplyDeleteBi-polar bitch! Who cares?
ReplyDeleteLie lie girl
Good for her
ReplyDeletestella, the thing is that most of these interviews have been conducted long time ago, don't be surprised that this interview we are reading was granted two years ago. i hate when these celebs claim that they don't read blogs, they all do, they spend so much time on the blogs, if not why is Halima always cursing stella out or Tonto cursing Linda out after reading what they blogged
ReplyDeleteLove is sweet.. Good for her.
ReplyDeleteTonto is always finding love...next pls!
