Nollywood actress and philanthropist Tonto Dikeh has opened up about a lesser-known chapter of her life, revealing that she once planned to become a pastor before stepping away from the path at the age of 19.
The actress made the disclosure during a recent livestream interview, where she spoke candidly about her spiritual journey, faith, and the life experiences that have shaped her.
According to Dikeh, she felt a strong calling to serve God from childhood and remained deeply involved in church activities after completing her secondary education.
Tonto Dikeh disclosed that her commitment to faith began early in life, describing her relationship with God as intense and deeply personal.
“I’ve always had this calling right from when I was a child,” she said.
She explained that her intention to enter full-time ministry was genuine, but circumstances led her to walk away from that path while still very young.
“At 19, I was going to be a pastor — until I ran away,” she added.
