Tonto Dikeh is known for various Nollywood movies but in particular, the movie “Dirty Secret” brought about controversy. This is because it contained numerous adult scenes which at then was quite foreign (unheard of) in the Nigerian film industry. Critics have accussed her of being untraditional and un-African, while others have said that Dikeh was merely being professional.
She later decided to try herself in music after appearing in several movies. She had however once featured in a music video by Amaco Investments where she and Patience Ozokwor mimed the song. Dikeh then made her debut with her singles ‘Hi’ and ‘Itz Ova’ featuring Snypa. Her songs were again received fairly well as many praised her efforts while the critics questioned her vocal ability. There were doubts on her decision to try music but she kept on with her music.
Tonto was unveiled under the record label ‘DB Records LEE family’ by the pop star D’banj on 13th June 2014. She however announced her departure from the DB records in March 2015. Dikeh studied Petrochemical Engineering in the prestigious Rivers State University of Science and Technology. Dikeh was born on 9th June 1985 in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. She is 33 years as of 2018.
The actress was born Tonto Wigo Charity Dikeh and hails from Rivers State and is from Ikwerre, a subgroup of the Igbo tribe. Born in a family of seven, she is the third born out of her five siblings and two siblings from her step-mother. Her parents are Chief Sunny Dikeh & the late Mrs Sunny Dikeh. She lost her mother at the age of 3.
Tonto is currently unmarried but was previously married to Oladunni Churchill. The two were traditionally married in August 2015 but divorced by February 2016. They have a son, Andre Omodayo Churchill. By June 2017, Tonto’s dad returned her traditional marriage bride price to his ex-son in law. She has a son, Andre Omodayo Churchill. He turned two years old on 16th February, 2018.
Tonto and her estranged husband, Olakunle Churchill, put their differences aside, at least for a day, to mark their son’s second birthday which took place at their son King Andre’s school in Abuja. She once said she has 57 tattoos on her body. The tattoos, run through all parts of her body. One of the tattoos has the name ‘Tee‘ inscribed on her leg. She recently announced herself to be a born again Christian and says she’s working on removing all her tattoos.
The talented actress is the founder of The Tonto Dikeh Foundation. It focuses on giving support to young girls who have either been raped, molested or assaulted. They give hope to such young girls by providing help to them through their partners depending on their individual cases, support them during ante natal and post natal period, mentor these young women so they can fit into the society again with a new sense of belonging and giving them a second chance in life to be great.
