Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh has opened up about her past lifestyle before giving her life to God.<\/p>\n

In a video shared on X on December 15, 2025, the actress recounted that she began smoking at the age of 13, a habit she picked from her father, who was then a chronic smoker.<\/p>\n

She revealed that she had been a regular smoker and alcoholic for the past 27 years.<\/p>\n

Tonto Dikeh reveals some important lessons she has learnt in the past 38 years<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve lived with a demonic anger. When I say demonic, I mean an anger that consumed me and nearly destroyed my life. There were times I would feel so enraged that I would want to burn everything. Everyone around me had to feel it. But today, as I pray with NSPPD, God has taken all of that away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 40 years old, and I can tell you I have never known peace. I\u2019ve never truly felt it until now. Today, I feel it. I know the confidence God has placed in me is real and permanent. I was a constant smoker since I was 13. That was the devil\u2019s hold on me. It\u2019s been 27 years of smoking, but God has delivered me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Tonto Dikeh also disclosed her past struggle with masturbation, explaining how it had affected her sexual life.<\/p>\n

‘Holy spirit healed me’ – Tonto Dikeh opens up about overcoming personal struggles<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter attending a prayer conference with NSPPD in Ghana, I have stopped masturbating and have fully surrendered my life to Christ. I would drink and pass out at home, not caring who might see me. I hated going out because of these habits; I didn\u2019t want anyone to know.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod healed me from masturbation as well. It\u2019s something I had struggled with since I was very young, even in dreams, which affected my life for years. After the prayer conference in Ghana, the weak hold the enemy had over me, taking advantage of me even in dreams, was broken. The grace and anointing upon my life removed it completely,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
