Walking out of my marriage was the best decision ever – Tonto Dikeh

Popular Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has openly offered an advice to single mothers, reflecting on her personal journey and development.

In a recent Instagram post, Dikeh responded to a message from another single mother who was seeking advice on managing the difficulties of parenting after a divorce. The individual had reached out to her through Instagram direct messages, inquiring about how Dikeh managed to cope following her separation from her ex-husband and their child. She described herself as “a nobody aiming to be somebody soon,” and was in search of practical guidance.

In her reply, the actress made it clear that she was the one who decided to leave her marriage for her own well-being and that of her child, referring to it as the “best decision” she has ever made. She further highlighted the significance of self-investment and personal development, urging the woman to focus on her own health and that of her child while seeking divine guidance.

Dikeh’s response read: “Good morning, First and foremost, I was the one who chose to walk away from my marriage, not the other way around. I needed to escape a difficult situation, not just for my sake, but for my child as well. Best decision I ever made. Remember, you have the power to become the person you aspire to be, as long as you commit to your growth and invest in yourself. Prioritize the well-being of your children while seeking guidance and strength from God. Sometimes the end of the road is the beginning of your blessings, but please, if your marriage is worth it, fight for your home. Take care.”

In a follow-up Instagram post, Dikeh shared a broader message to single mothers, acknowledging that she does not have all the answers but draws strength from love and faith.

She wrote: “Dear single mothers, I don’t have a manual for these things. I am neither a pro in this movement. My biggest teacher has been LOVE. I just let God do his thing, and his thing is enough for me. Draw strength from God, and most especially keep your family matters private.”
