is a Nigerian actress and singer from Rivers State and is of the Igbo
nation. Dikeh, is from a family of seven.
In 2005 she competed against other contestants on a reality TV show
called The Next Movie Star; she was the first runner up. Dikeh's
appearance on the show was as a means of getting closer to the "big
time", she says, and her start in the Nigerian movie industry came soon
after.Dikeh says that after her second movie Holy Cross, more movie directors and producers were willing to cast her, and she has appeared in scores of movies since. Dikeh's role in the movie Dirty Secret has generated controversy amongst Nigerians, because the movie contains nude scenes. While some criticize her role of being untraditional and un-African, others say that Dikeh is merely being professional.
In January 2011 Dikeh took part in a charity fashion show in Lagos with Banky W., Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and others.
Tonto was known in Nollywood as a chain smoker and had started smoking since the age of 14 but she recently testified that she stopped smoking after prayers with Pastor T.B. Joshua via his Christian television station Emmanuel TV
Tonto Dikeh has been living a happier life ever since she met her new boo, thereby dropping all the garbages that used to depress the #PokoBaby in the past. Check out a very crazy photo below...
