Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has shared a deeply personal story about her past, speaking openly about how her life changed through her faith. She spoke at the 2026 Women of Fire Prayer conference in Tanzania, where she told attendees about her struggles and her journey to a new path.
The 40-year-old actress said she once lived in what she described as a dark and troubled space. She explained that during that time, she was involved in activities she now regrets, including joining cult groups and living a life she considers far from God.
Reflecting on those years, she said, “In the midst of trying to navigate life. I have put my hands in so much dirt, so many filthy things. I have joined cults, operated and worked for the demons so hard.”
Dikeh told the audience that her life changed after what she described as a powerful encounter with God. According to her, that moment marked a turning point that pulled her away from her past.
“He dragged me out of hell,” she declared.
She encouraged others who may feel lost or uncertain about their faith, saying, “If you have ever doubted God, just look at me. He does not care about what you have been through or what you have done.”
The actress also spoke about the difference between her past and her present life. She described how she moved from addiction and negative influences to a life centered on faith and prayer.
“From a drug addict to an altar that praises God. From a devil worshipper to a woman who will pray to God with fire.”
Dikeh has been open in recent times about leaving behind habits such as sexual immorality, anger, masturbation, and addiction. She has also become more active in Christian ministry, recently leading a deliverance session for a schoolgirl that gained attention online.
Tonto Dikeh’s testimony highlights her personal journey from a troubled past to a life shaped by faith. Her story continues to draw attention as she shares her experiences and speaks about transformation. Many will be watching to see how she continues her work in ministry and public life.
