This is coming after Tonto Dikeh in an exclusive interview she had with Saturday Sun/The Sun TV crew in Abuja, took a 360-degree view of her life and talked about her sex life, drugs use, cosmetic surgery, failed marriage and motherly love for her son.
Here are excerpts from the interview;
- Do you now live in Abuja?
Oh yes. I’m now an Abuja girl
- Why did you relocate to Abuja?
In 2015 when I was pregnant with my son, King Andre Omodayo, I decided to have my baby, my motherly instincts kicked in , I decided to think of anything that would be better for my son , I love Lagos and I do know the effect it has had on me , I do know what I do not want for my child. So, I decided to check round the country to see where I could raise my son in the best way that I can and I found Abuja very soothing; education is great, I am not scared that my son will get corrupt either in school or with the neighbors, the neighbors are beautiful. As an actress or a public figure, there is nothing like adoring your privacy and they give me my privacy here in Abuja.
- So you find Abuja as the perfect place?
Oh yes.
- Let us look at your family life, where you are coming from. Have you totally dropped those ugly experiences from your marriage?
Yes I have. Definitely at some point you heal, everybody heals at some point
- You got healed quickly, so soon?
It’s a choice, if you want to stay down it’s your choice but strength is a woman’s thing and I have it.
- How do you react to the drug allegations leveled against you?
While growing up, I did a lot of rough movies, I did a lot of movies that doing drugs had to be involved, a lot of movies that people had to form an opinion about me and so, that is where that opinion of drugs came out.
As a young girl growing up, I did make some mistakes with alcohol, cannabis and cigarettes but I’m older now and I’m above all of those things, I have a son now. I always tell people who ask me why I quit smoking “What if my son needs blood tomorrow, what will I say to myself that I can’t give my son blood because I still want to indulge in cannabis”. I know it’s one of those things I did quit by the grace of God because it is not easy to desist from.
The drug allegations from my ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, was just a lie to cover up his domestic violence track, he felt that was a tool he could use to tarnish my image, but come to think of it, there are too many holes in that story.
It is impossible for a father who genuinely says he cares about your son to leave his son with a drug addict, if you had a drug addict at home, would you not fight for the custody of your son? I don’t joke with my son, so, if a father joked with his son in that way, he just lied to cover up the fact that he’s a woman beater.
