Popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh is no stranger to controversy. In fact, calling her the “queen of controversy” wouldn’t be far from the truth, given her history of being at the center of public storms.
However, in recent times, the actress has maintained a low profile, suggesting a shift in character and personal growth.
According to the screen diva, she once struggled deeply with uncontrollable anger — a challenge that cost her valuable relationships and opportunities.
Taking to her Instagram page, she wrote; “There was a time I had a fuse so short it could set everything ablaze. I mistook my pain for strength, but it was only destroying me.”
“I was living as both the wound and the weapon. Depression was my companion; I wore pain like a second skin until God said, ‘Rise,’ and I did.”
“When I see people acting from a place of pain, I don’t condemn them; I pray for them. I know how it feels to lose yourself while trying to survive.”
“I gave my life to Christ after secondary school but took His love for granted. Life humbled me, and through that pain, I returned to my first love, God.”
