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 in an Instagram post on Wednesday by
telling whoever cares to listen her story of humble
beginning.
“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?
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
“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
