Tonto Dikeh Story Line for the Living:
I used to beg for money to eat
By TONTO DIKEH
There are many sides to everybody. For Tonto Dikeh, it seems the side that is well known is the wild
one.Controversial as many may think this singer and actress is, she does have her subtle side and she laid it on the line for everyone to see after an interview session @ FIM's MULTIMEDIA STUDIO on Wednesday by telling whoever cares to listen her story of humble beginning.
At the age of twenty, I said to myself `I wouldn’t ask my dad for money- I
wanted to be independent. I tried
traveling to UK but I got refused at
Nigerian Embassy, not because my
documents were not complete but
because I didn’t have the connection to pass through” she stated“Growing up life was not easy, not after I lost my mom at the age of three. Though I thank my step mom for keeping up with my rudeness and stubbornness. Sometimes, I felt like killing myself but God saw me through that stage in my life and
sometimes I sit and ask God why me?
“University life was so hard for me,
handouts I could not afford, I begged
from hand to mouth just to eat!
Sometimes, I considered going back to my dad but ego and pride wouldn’t let me.
Then, all my jeans were Alaba bend-
down-select. If the jeans was longer
than me I would cut it to my size to
make it look rugged! If I asked friends for a favour, before they helped they would ask me to do something for them in return, like cleaning their rooms, or helping with course work” she added.
She then went on to advise her fans
never to give up in their struggle to
make it in life. For sometime now,
Tonto has been engaging in a soft kind of motivational talks on social media, showing people there might be another side to the controversial figure we all hate to love.
