Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has spoken candidly about her personal life, educational background, and career journey.

The outspoken public figure gave fans a rare look into parts of her life that are often ignored because of her fame and controversies.

The mother of one while speaking directly to her followers, surprised many by revealing that she is a trained Petrochemical Engineer.

She explained that she studied Petrochemical Engineering at Rivers State University, formerly known as Rivers State University of Science and Technology.

Tonto said that although this detail has been in her biography for years, people hardly talk about it because most attention has always been on her acting career and public life.

She also reminded her fans of her brief entry into politics, recalling how she emerged in 2022 as the deputy governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress in Rivers State for the 2023 election, alongside Tonte Ibraye.

Though the ticket did not win, her move into politics drew wide attention at the time.

According to her, her strong personality made her stand out and helped people remember her, even with her short time in the movie industry.

She wrote: “Did you all know I am a pet/Chemical engineer by profession? Ex deputy Deputy Gubernatorial Candidate rivers state 2023? And I acted for only 4years but coconut head carried me through to be unforgettable in the grand scheme of things. I acted for only 4years. I am not an actress.”

Tonto Dikeh became popular in Nollywood in the late 2000s after featuring in movies like Holy Cross.

She quickly rose to fame and became one of the most talked-about actresses of her time.

However, in recent years, she has reduced her acting roles and shifted her focus to business, charity work and social advocacy.

Tonto Dikeh, the Nollywood actress, has announced her decision to keep her tattoos, even after recommitting herself to her Christian faith.

Since reconnecting with her faith, Tonto has been open about her spiritual journey, sharing videos of her prayers and speaking in tongues, showing the changes in her life.

During an interaction with a fan online, she was asked if she would consider removing her tattoos now that she has renewed her faith.

Tonto explained that although she once thought about removing them, she does not want to risk harming her skin with laser procedures.

She added that her spiritual beliefs do not require her to erase the tattoos, stating that her faith is not affected by the ink on her body.

“Mama, if it was possible to take off tattoos, would you have taken yours off?” the fan asked.

“Yes, love, I would have, but I’m stuck with them and I ain’t doing no laser to spoil my good skin. And the good thing is Jesus don’t care.” she responded.

The mother of one also recently announced that she will be more careful about the people and brands she works with this year.

She stated that respect is essential and that she will not promote or support anyone who shows hostility or disrespect toward her, her faith, or her spiritual leaders.

Dikeh also said that she will avoid being part of projects or collaborations that do not value her contributions or protect her work.

Tonto Dikeh, the Nollywood actress, has shared what she calls a “small secret” that many people tend to overlook — a revelation she believes could impact their financial fortunes in 2026.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, the actress advised people to stop seeing wealthy friends, family members, and influential figures only as future helpers, and start being intentional about giving to them first — no matter how small.

Tonto explained that rich people receive countless messages daily from people asking for help, but very few from people who simply want to give or appreciate them. According to her, standing out starts with being different.

She encouraged fans to give within their capacity, stressing that it is not about the size of the gift but the heart and intention behind it.

“These people have thousands of DMs of people begging them, but not of people wanting to give them. Be different,” she said.

The actress also touched on a lesson she said her life coach once taught her — that leadership and blessings often flow through those who understand the power of giving.

Tonto added that many people constantly ask favors from friends they rely on, yet have never taken time to give them even a small gift in appreciation.

She wrote: “The season hits different when you realise that the birth of Jesus is a Living demonstration of God’s LOVE FOR ME..

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16).

He did not send an idea, a promise, or an angel—He sent His Son.

“Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given” (Isaiah 9:6).

Given. On purpose. For love.

The manger was not weakness; it was humility.

The cross was not defeated; it was love poured out.

WE ARE CHRISTMAS READY”.
