A Twitter user, identified as General Oluchi has recalled how Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh was banned from the North for taking photos with Orphans.
Recall that back in the day, Tonto was well-known for her philanthropic acts which took her across several parts of the country, giving hope and joy to the less privileged particularly, orphans.
General Oluchi alleged that the movie star, despite her charitable deeds, was banned in the north after she visited years back and bought stuffed animals for the orphans.
According to her, it was so embarrassing that she was banned from taking pictures with the kids because she’d bring a mediocre gift and round up the children for photographs.
“When Tonto Dikeh visited the north, she brought them stuffed animals. It was so embarrassing that she was banned from taking pictures with the kids because she’d bring a mediocre gift and round up the children for photographs”.
This is coming hours after Tonto questioned Labor Party presidential aspirant, Peter Obi over his unveiling of borehole projects in some Northern states.
The movie star questioned if the former governor was truly committed to taking this country to the next level, as she stated that the idea that Nigeria was almost entrusted to him, is disheartening. Expressing disappointment, she made it known that she wasn’t trolling him but was dissatisfied with his actions and was in disbelief.
In October of 2023, Tonto was unveiled as an All Progressive Congress member by the APC women leader, which didn’t sit well with netizens as they dragged her for being a hypocrite.
Speaking out, Tonto stated that she had learned over the years that impactful leadership comes from visionary leaders offering selfless service to humanity. She made it known that she was all about the progress of her country, Nigeria, and the youths of this great nation at large.
