• Tonto Dikeh's public testimony about her deliverance during a church service has gone viral online
• The actress opened up about her past struggles with addictions, troubling dreams and prolonged anger
• She also shared how she was delivered from the habits, sparking mixed reactions from Nigerians online

Nollywood actress and politician Tonto Dikeh's renewed Christian journey has sparked massive reactions online after she publicly shared a testimony about her past struggles during a church service.

On Sunday, December 14, 2025, Tonto Dikeh, during a service at Pastor Jerry Eze's Streams of Joy International Church, shared a testimony of what she described as her deliverance from smoking, alcohol addiction, and prolonged anger issues, among others.

In a video circulating online, the mother of one, while testifying before the congregation, disclosed that she began smoking at the age of 13 and struggled for years with alcohol. She attributed her transformation to divine intervention.

Dikeh further explained that after attending the Ghana Prayer Conference, she noticed a change in what she described as years of spiritual oppression.

“I realized that the weak man who held me captive all my years in my dream ran away,” she said, adding that the experience marked a turning point in her spiritual life.

The Nollywood actress also spoke about struggling with what she called “demonic anger,” which she said previously affected her relationships and personal life.

She said, “An anger that destroyed my life. Everybody had to feel it. But praying with NSPPD, God took all of those away and gave me peace.

Dikeh noted that she had never experienced peace until recently.

She said, “I am 40 years old. And I can tell you I have never known peace until now. I am living in it.”

Dikeh also revealed that her smoking habit lasted for about 27 years, which she said began after exposure at home. She, therefore, urged parents to keep harmful habits away from their children.

“I started smoking because my dad was a smoker. Something as little as that habit can inhabit the lives of your children,” the actress warned

Dikeh added that after praying for divine help, she no longer experiences urges for cigarettes or alcohol.

“My body does not ask for it. My body is repelling it. Today, it is broken,” she said.

In the video, Pastor Eze later prayed for the actress, declaring that “the body of sin is broken.” Just as he described her as “a voice in her generation.”

In addition to the testimony, the actress shared a series of photos on her Instagram at the church venue, captioning them: “A living testimony of mercy. One God spared, restored, and commissioned.”
