Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has raised eyebrows after expressing love for Islam.
In an Instagram post, the movie star, humanitarian, and politician shared her admiration for Muslims and their commitment to their faith, revealing that her interest stemmed from living near a mosque and waking up to the soothing call to prayer for the past four years.
Tonto described how hearing the melodious tune has reinforced her love for God and deepened her devotion. Reacting to her post, many social media users speculated that the movie star might be dating a Muslim, which could explain her newfound appreciation for the religion.
One user, Herm Wynne, commented, “She don dey date one Muslim.” Another, Criss Adejo, added, “Alhaji at work.” Official DJ Rozay wrote, “Alhaji don promise this one marriage if only she converts to Muslim.”
Others had more skeptical views. Oke Ebulu suggested, “Lol APC political tactics to show loyalty. No be by the one sha Mrs politician.” Chef Deraa commented, “One Alhaji don dey enter aunty eyes.” Pure Truth001 remarked, “This one is always confused,” while Chinny Louis52 noted, “Muslim man don hold our Tonto for work.”
Tejiri Esigie claimed, “This one just wants money and power by all means,” and Balekzy Pharaiah criticized, “When them use their bad character spoil all their relationships them go come dey try to recruit people with quotes born out of bitterness and loneliness.” Thompson Chuka simply wrote, “Anywhere belle face,” and SV Maximus observed, “E be like say this one Don see another Mallam wey dey sort am for Abuja.” Hepatitis Herpes Totalcure labeled her “Confusion,” and Tee4Tayp1 humorously concluded, “Hmmm. Alhaja Tonto!! I see where this is going.”
Tonto Dikeh’s last relationship was with politician Prince Kpokpogri. The actress had gone public with him in June 2021 during his birthday celebration. However, their relationship ended in September 2021 after a voice note surfaced online in which Kpokpogri was heard badmouthing Tonto and complaining about her unrepentant behavior. The breakup was messy, with both parties exposing each other’s secrets. Tonto accused Kpokpogri of fraud and blackmail, alleging he had an affair with dancer Jane Mena and possessed her sex tape, which Mena denied.
Kpokpogri claimed their relationship ended due to Tonto’s addiction to smoking and drinking, which she denied. She countered that she ended the relationship because of his promiscuity, confirmed through a series of voice notes.
Tonto was previously married to businessman Olakunle Churchill, with whom she has a son, but that marriage also ended in separation.
