Tonto Dikeh speaks on her divine calling

Dikeh explained that her life experiences, including the challenges and controversies she has faced, were part of a larger divine process meant to shape her into who she is today.
She described her journey as far from ordinary, noting that every phase of her life played a role in refining her purpose.
The actress added that she believes God intentionally allowed her to pass through difficult seasons to mold her into a bold and resilient individual, stating that her life story reflects a calling that has always been present, even when she tried to run from it.
She said in part …
“I’ve always had this calling right from when I was a child. At 19 I was going to be a pastor, until I ran away. I’ve been in church since I left secondary school. So I had always known God intimately and intensely. And I’ve always known I had this calling. If you watch what has happened in my life, it is not ordinary. God called me and needed me to go through all I had to become the firebrand that I am today.”
