Popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh says she is the most
controversial person on earth. Dikeh spoke in a video at the TEDx Ikenegbu
programme titled “Leveraging on Controversy’, which she posted on her official
Instagram page.
The programme is an annual event organised by Martin Uwakwe
and Co-organised by Excel Ajah to bring people together to share their
experiences through talks, and videos, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Dikeh said that initially, the negative things people said
about her used to make her sad before discovering that she could build on it.
“I used to be sad and broke down on what people wrote about
me. Every time someone says something negative about me, I go home and absolve
it; I let the negativity get me so much that I became what people thought I
am,’’ Dikeh said.
The actress explained that she no longer fought for
controversy or what people wrote about her but leveraged on them using them to
her advantage, growth and satisfaction.
She urged her audience not to allow controversies to break
them but they should use it to their own advantage.
“Controversy can make or mar you but only you can break it
and for years, I allowed it to break me,’’ she said.
She said that God gave her a second chance to build on her
dreams and service to humanity.
“In the past, everyone thought I would amount to nothing but
today, the story is different as everyone wishes to be like Dikeh without
minding the pains behind it. I have mastered my pain and controversy,’’ she
said.
