There Was A Time I Used To Wonder How I Would Thrive Financially Without ‘Otunba’ – Actress Tonto Dikeh Opens Up

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has shared how her financial situation dramatically improved after she embraced Christianity.

Speaking via a post on Instagram, she attributed her financial progress to divine provision, adding that her experience has been different.

Dikeh challenged the notion that devotion to God leads to financial hardship and disclosed that she now owns 4 houses.

The mother of one stated that she used to wonder how she would survive without ‘Otunba’, but God surprised her.

She urged believers to trust God regarding their financial needs, stressing that faith encompasses every aspect of life.

Dikeh said, “I am sharing this to encourage believers all over the world. There’s a common narrative that once you give your life to Christ, you should expect financial struggle, that devotion to God somehow means settling for less. My experience has been the complete opposite.

“Since surrendering my life to Jehovah and making Him my Lord and Personal Saviour, I have witnessed a dimension of provision and increase that I had never known before. My faith did not diminish my life; it elevated it. I have experienced undeniable financial growth, supernatural help, and timely provision. There has never been a genuine need that God did not answer. Many times, He sent strangers as destiny helpers.

“Listen, I have seen money, but what God is doing now is mega money.

“God is sweet. I once wrote here: “I have so much faith in God that if man cannot be my blessing, God will send angels from heaven for my sake.” I still stand by that declaration.

“There is a dimension of living called the Zoe life, the God-kind of life. When you are completely sold out to God, obedient, and aligned with His will, there is nothing you cannot achieve within His purpose for you. In less than a year, El-Roi, the God who sees me, has blessed me with 4 houses. This is only the beginning. In 2026, this will be the least I will ever be.

“To every Christian reading this: let this strengthen your conviction. God sees you. God is interested in every area of your life, including your financial growth. This has nothing to do with celebrity status. It has everything to do with being a woman who has dedicated her life on earth to serving God wholeheartedly.

“He will not fail you. He will not allow the world to mock your obedience. The One who called you has ordained you to win. Do not lose faith. Do not be discouraged.

“Everything you seek is in God. There was a time I wondered how I would thrive financially without the help of “OTUNBA”. Today, by God’s grace, He has established me in my own right. The same God who lifted me can lift you. Let this minister to your soul: God can indeed be trusted.”

I Was So Young And Innocent Then – Rosy Meurer Reacts After Netizens Dug Up Old Video Of Her Calling Tonto Dikeh Her ‘Family’

Rosy Meurer, the Nollywood actress, has responded to the resurfaced video showing her referring to Tonto Dikeh as her family.

Recall that Tonto Dikeh was married to Olakunle Churchill who is now Rosy’s husband.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Rosy had posted a video on her Instagram page, claiming she didn’t know Tonto at all and that she had never met the actress while Tonto was married to Churchill.

Rosy said she never had any feelings for Churchill at the time and that Churchill was like a brother to her and was helping her and her family before they got married.

Following this, social media users dug up an old video of Rosy calling Tonto’s family and saying she had hung out with the actress.

Now reacting to this, Rosy, in her Instagram story, claimed she was young and innocent and being dragged into something that didn’t concern her, hence the video. Now that she is older and wiser, she is speaking her real truth.

Rosy made it clear that no one can intimidate her and reemphasised that she knew about the reunion and reconciliation before it hit the internet, and that she has been 100 per cent in support.

“You want me to hang on to the nonsense old video I made years ago, where I explained all sorts of things due to the fact that I was so young and innocent.

The whole media thing was new to me, how I got dragged in wetin no concern me then, something I saw and was as lost as everyone else.

My husband, who was like a brother to me then, had to apologise to my family because he knew I knew absolutely nothing about what was said.

I was dragged into violence by force. With all the pressure, the PR team will make you say so many things, then, if you don’t feel it’s right.

Right now, whatever I say is THE REAL TRUTH.

I am older, I am wiser, and no one can intimidate me.

No PR team can force me to say what they believe will be better than my truth.

No one can control what I will say.

It is my life, and I know better than anyone else.

I’m not here to sweet-talk anyone or make anyone like me.

If you like, bring out videos of 1000 years ago where I said this or that, it doesn’t change my reality.

I knew my husband before he got married.

Why I no follow at that time.

So I waited for him to marry before he entered my eyes.

If you don’t know a story, shhhh”.

She said; “I was never my husband’s ex’s friend, not to talk of best friend. I have never met her, I have never seen her. She doesn’t have my number, I don’t have her number. She’s like 8-9-10 years older than I am

“When I see comments like she’s your best friend, she introduced you to her husband and you snatched him, you are so wicked, Nothing like that happened. I met my husband separately, from that other life he had. The two don’t even go hand in hand.”

Any plan spoken in secret against you is exposed and destroyed. Any trap set for you shall catch fire before you get near it. Every evil gathering where your name is mentioned is scattered by God’s thunder.

Father, let every curse sent toward you return empty and powerless. Turn every plot against you into promotion. Let those who seek your downfall witness your rising instead.

Let God’s angels stand guard over you day and night. Wherever your name is mentioned for evil, let God’s name answer with fire and authority.

May those who wish you harm encounter God’s conviction and repent. And if they refuse, let their evil plans collapse upon themselves without touching you.

You shall excel.

You shall lead.

You shall live long and fulfill destiny.

I seal you in divine protection, divine favor, and divine purpose.

In Jesus’ mighty name,

Amen.”

I Was Going To Become A Pastor At 19, But I Ran Away – Nigerian Actress, Tonto Dikeh Opens Up (Video)

Actress Tonto Dikeh has disclosed that she almost became a pastor at the age of 19, opening up about her spiritual journey during a viral livestream interview that followed her reconciliation with ex-husband Olakunle Churchill.

Dikeh stated she has had a divine calling since childhood and ran away from it, believing God wanted her to experience life fully.

The actress attributed her survival to faith, citing trials and divine guidance.

The mother of one said, “I have always had this calling right from when I was a child. At 19, I was going to be a pastor until I just ran away for no reason. I’ve been in church since I left secondary school. So I’ve known God intimately, I’ve known God intensely, for as long as I was a child. And I’ve always known that I have this calling.

“If you watch what has happened in my life, it’s not ordinary. Anybody who may have or may walk in my shoes may not have survived, would not even survive. Because God called me for something and He needed me to go through all of these things to come out of the firebrand that I am today.”

Dikeh also added that her calling lies in prayer and healing, hinting at an online prayer platform launch pending divine approval.

Dikeh stated, “Prayers and healing are my calling. God can heal. It depends on what God asks me to do. I think any good Christian can. Any firm believer can. At this stage of my life, I’m just letting God lead. God asked me to start praying for people online, and that’s what I’m doing. He’s the one taking me day by day. I’m just a vessel.

“So if He says to do that, I will do that. I don’t know about monetising. My calling is not about money. I was talking to somebody the other day, and I told the person, “You see, there are some people who are just going to be there for God forever.”

Dikeh said her return to faith wasn’t driven by fame or wealth but survival and the desire to live.

“I didn’t run to God because of money. I’m already rich. Because I wanted to turn a new leaf. Because I wanted to step into the mandate. You know, the extra vessel mandated that He wanted me to step into”,she added.

She previously shared struggles with demonic anger, smoking, alcoholism, and other personal battles, crediting God for deliverance.
