Tonto Dike says there are roles she can’t play as a married woman if she returns to acting
Renowned Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh-Churchill, has said there are roles she can no longer play as a married woman, stating marriage has changed the way she thinks and operates.
The ‘Sugar rush’ crooner, who tied the nuptial nuts last year, also said marriage is a blessing, not a curse or hell fire as most people have tagged it over the years.
In a chat with The Sun, the River State-born actress said, “Marriage is a blessing! It’s a new phase and level in life. Marriage from my point of view is awesome if you marry the right person.
“It is hell if you marry the wrong person. You will hear different stories from different folks. For me, I am waxing stronger and happier in marriage.”
On what attracted her to her husband, Tonto said, “If you know my husband, it would be hard to pick out what you like most about him because he is such a sweetheart. But I appreciate his efforts in making me a better woman. He has given me so much security as a husband.
“Honestly, I haven’t had anyone stand by me or want to protect me the way he does. I must appreciate him for all his love. I love him dearly. That’s why I call him my ‘King Kong’.”
The actress, who has not featured in any movie since she got married, said she was busy with her primary responsibility.
She said, “I have not worked in any production after marriage because I have been busy in my primary duties as a wife and mother. I need adequate time to build a solid foundation for my family and for a sustainable home. And I hope to be back in no distant time,” she noted, adding that as a married woman, she would no longer accept any role that comes her way now.
She said, “As a married woman a lot of things change in your life. Of course, you must have some sense of responsibility in decision making, because it is not just about your life anymore, you have a family to take care of.
“So, for the respect I have for my head, who is my husband and my neck, who is my son, I can’t play certain roles anymore. And I don’t have any regrets because my family comes first in all I do,” the mother of one added.
*She can only dictate if she sees a script nau,right now Nollywood is dead and buried and the ones making waves are the ones who can produce their own movies...
Unless she will take a 100k job in Asaba for a role that might be dictated to her.
Is this her real face?

ReplyDeleteShe has this calmness around her.God bless her home
ReplyDeleteStellosky, the apology hasn't been tendered by you.
If this her husband is so good and perfect, how come it didnt work out with his first wife? Just thinking ot loud.
ReplyDeleteFood for thought
DeleteThat somebody is good for one person doesn't mean he is good for another,
DeletePersonally I can either be sweet or sour, it depends on who I'm dealing with.
Maybe youthful exuberance....
DeleteIf they were both young and hot headed..shrugs
Look at Frank Edoho nah..on to his 2nd one and he must make it work any which way so dem no go count for am
Good for her
ReplyDelete"Tied the NUTS" lmao. She tied her husband's nuts, huh? Very ominous 😄
ReplyDeleteMy Tonto ... I love her #nohomo
ReplyDeleteHahahaha really?
ReplyDeleteI dont get it when ppl say tonto is controversial tho. Who did she do dat other actresses didnt do and re not doin still? Nigerians will rather hate on their celebrities than celebrate them. Smh. Tonto God will continue to lift you high above ur enemies.
ReplyDeleteAm happy for you tonto, marriage has really made u a diff person,
ReplyDeleteTonto is married now and forming good girl.when she was busy fucking other pple's husband nko before..and always beefing mercy johnson.i wish her well tho
ReplyDeleteI concur. Marriage has totally changed her. i only hope she has stopped smoking weed and cigarette.
ReplyDeleteFunny woman
ReplyDeleteTonto fit die put for this marriage chaii.... Make she come dey struggle for roles like Mercy, Chacha, Eve and co
ReplyDeleteMercy doesn't struggle for roles. She selects roles
DeleteGood for her...Stella I no fit shout for your mouth..hahahahahaha..missylynn
ReplyDeleteThank God for her if truly she is a changed person so shall it be
ReplyDeleteI'm not smitten by Tonto's yarns.
ReplyDeleteEven though marriage changed her, it goes to show. We should learn to bridle out tongues, especially when we haven't found ourselves in a particular. Situation yet. All the drama. She displayed after mercy Johnson's. Child birth and movie. Return left a sour taste in my mouth.
Marriage is good. I really pray I experience it soonest, In Jesus Name Amen
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteTied the nuptial nuts? Hian!
ReplyDeleteI so much love this woman,she has a good heart
ReplyDeleteTonto is hot cake now,her movie can sell well more than mercy Johnson in cinema ,she doesn't need to struggle to get a role
ReplyDeleteCool
