Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has entered the New Year with a clear warning and firm boundaries, declaring that she will no longer associate with, promote, or support anyone who aligns with people or platforms that are hostile toward her or her faith.
Taking to her Facebook page and Instagram story, the outspoken actress made it clear that respect is non-negotiable going forward.
In her words:
“This year, I will be very intentional about the brands and individuals I choose to support. I will not associate with or promote anyone who aligns with people or platforms that are hostile or disrespectful toward me, God or my Pastor.”
Tonto stressed that she would no longer lend her influence to brands or individuals who do not value her person or her work.
She stated:
“Respect is non-negotiable. I will not contribute to the growth of any brand that doesn’t value, honour, or protect my person and my work.”
She also issued a strong message to those hoping to work with her in 2026, urging them to examine their intentions before reaching out.
“Before approaching me for promotional support, please be guided. Take a moment to reflect and ask yourself: Have I genuinely supported her, and do I accept this request?”
The actress also addressed event organizers, warning against casual invitations without proper business discussions.
According to her:
“Unless we share a close personal relationship, which is very rare, please do not extend event invitations without first acknowledging and discussing my appearance fee with my management. (I don’t talk business personally). I do not make appearances casually, even for acquaintances, and certainly not without clear professional terms.”
In a related Instagram post, Tonto made a passionate call to Christians to deepen their prayer life, urging them to open their hearts for miracles.
She revealed that she is currently fighting for her life, destiny, child, and generation, describing this phase of her journey as spiritual and purposeful.
Last year, the actress stunned many after sharing a deeply personal testimony, revealing her healing from addiction and masturbation.
She disclosed that she began smoking at 13 years old, influenced by her father, and battled the addiction for 27 years before it was finally broken. She also spoke openly about her struggle with alcoholism.
Following the testimony, Tonto reintroduced herself to the public, describing herself as “A living testimony of mercy… one of those God spared, restored, and commissioned.”
Reflecting on her past, she once said she had gone from being a mess to becoming a message, adding that where God brought her from, no human should ever return to.
As 2026 unfolds, Tonto Dikeh has made one thing clear; only respect, faith, and professionalism will be allowed around her brand.
