Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has opened up about her journey to spiritual healing and emotional transformation, sharing how she overcame years of pain, anger, and depression through faith in God. In a deeply personal Instagram post, the actress described her experience as a divine rebirth that reshaped her heart, habits, and outlook on life.

According to Tonto, there was a time when her anger and emotional pain controlled her life, destroying relationships and opportunities. “There was a time I had a fuse so short it could set everything ablaze. I mistook my pain for strength, but it was only destroying me,” she confessed, adding that the turning point came when she fully surrendered to God, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide her healing.

The actress revealed that depression once consumed her, leaving her feeling lost and broken. “Depression was my companion; I wore pain like a second skin until God said, ‘Rise,’ and I did,” she said. Dikeh disclosed that she had once battled suicidal thoughts before finding peace in her faith and learning to forgive herself and others.

Now, the actress says her transformation has made her more empathetic and compassionate, explaining that she no longer judges others who act from a place of pain. “When I see people hurting, I don’t condemn them; I pray for them because I know how it feels to lose yourself while trying to survive,” she wrote.

Tonto Dikeh also shared that she has chosen celibacy and purity as part of her renewed spiritual journey. Reflecting on her past, she said, “I gave my life to Christ after secondary school but took His love for granted. Life humbled me, and through that pain, I returned to my first love, God.” Her message has inspired many fans who praised her honesty and courage in speaking about mental health and faith.
