Nollywood’s controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh, has once again set tongues wagging after making jaw-dropping revelations about her troubled past during a dramatic church appearance. The star, never one to shy away from the spotlight, stunned worshippers at Streams of Joy International Church with a laundry list of personal struggles, including smoking, alcohol abuse, masturbation, and uncontrollable anger.

In a performance that had the congregation hanging on her every word, Dikeh claimed her addiction to cigarettes began at just 13, blaming her father’s smoking habit for her own choices. “I started smoking because my dad was a smoker,” she declared, in what some are calling a thinly veiled attempt to shift responsibility. She used the moment to lecture parents about their influence, turning her confession into a public service announcement.

For nearly three decades, Dikeh says she was trapped in a cycle of addiction and “spiritual oppression,” even alleging that she suffered from disturbing dreams involving sexual encounters since childhood. The actress painted a picture of herself as a victim of forces beyond her control, telling the church, “I have known myself to have sexual intercourse in the dream ever since I was a child.”

Despite her glamorous public image, Dikeh insisted she was compelled to bare it all as a “testimony,” claiming, “The devil tried to tell me that I was supposed to protect my image. But I told myself, what image?” The star, known for her headline-grabbing antics, appeared to relish the attention as she recounted her so-called journey to “authenticity.”

The turning point, according to Dikeh, came after attending a prayer conference in Ghana, where she says a “weak man” who haunted her dreams finally “ran away.” She credits this spiritual event with breaking the chains of her addictions, though skeptics are questioning the dramatic narrative.

Dikeh didn’t stop there. She also confessed to suffering from what she called “demonic anger,” which she claims destroyed her relationships and personal life. “Everybody had to feel it,” she said, before crediting the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) for her supposed deliverance and newfound peace.

Now, at 40, Dikeh claims she is finally at peace, boasting, “My body does not ask for it. My body is repelling it. Today, it is broken.” The congregation, led by Pastor Jerry Eze, responded with applause as he declared her “a voice in her generation.” The spectacle was complete with prayers, tears, and plenty of photo ops.

Never one to miss a social media moment, Dikeh quickly posted photos from the church service, calling herself “A living testimony of mercy.” Her fans, ever loyal, flooded her comments with praise, while critics questioned the sincerity and timing of her revelations.

In recent months, Dikeh has been vocal about her “renewed faith,” using her platform to share her so-called transformation.
