"Growing Up, I Had To Beg Friends For Money To Feed" - Tonto Dikeh

Controversial actress Tonto Dikeh reflected on her very frustrating
and humble beginning. Most people see Tonto Dikeh as a very
proud and rude lady but she is also human so she definitely have a
very subtle side and she let that part out on Instagram when
advising her fans never to give up their struggle in life.
The light-skinned actress who will be a Mr's Soon wrote..
“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.
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”
Tonto then went on to advise her fans never to give up in
their struggle to make it in life.
