Latest Gist on Tonto Dikeh: Actress Shares Powerful Testimony on Overcoming Addictions

Lagos, Nigeria – December 15, 2025 – Nollywood star Tonto Dikeh has opened up about her personal struggles in a heartfelt testimony shared during a church service at Streams of Joy International on Sunday. The actress revealed she began smoking at the age of 13, influenced by her father, and battled the habit for 27 years, alongside addictions to alcohol, masturbation, rage, and other spiritual yokes.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, Dikeh described her journey to deliverance, crediting divine intervention for breaking these chains. “I was also an alcoholic, but today that’s all broken,” she said, emphasizing her renewed faith and commitment to worshiping God like a Catholic nun. She broke down in tears while recounting how God healed her from years of inner turmoil and restored her peace.

Fans and online users have reacted positively, praising her bravery and seeing it as a genuine transformation. Some noted her past role as a cell leader in Christ Embassy before derailing, viewing this as a return to faith. However, skeptics on X suggested it might be PR ahead of 2027 elections, given her political background.

This revelation comes amid Dikeh’s ongoing public life, including her acting career, philanthropy, and previous controversies. Social media is abuzz with clips from the testimony, with hashtags like #TontoDikeh trending.
