Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has rewarded a loyal supporter with a brand-new Hyundai as part of her birthday giveaway. She shared the news on Instagram, posting photos of the car along with a heartfelt note to the winner.
Dikeh congratulated @sheddyoflagos, the winner of the 2024 KING TONTO DIKEH LUXURY BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY, and thanked him for his unwavering support. She added, “It was such a pleasure meeting you for the first time today. May God continue to bless you abundantly.”
She also expressed gratitude to @kafadona_motors for facilitating the transaction. Many of Dikeh’s fans flooded the comments section to express admiration.
One fan, Veeveerich, wrote, “Talk and do.” Another, Ella_bernard_clothing_store, commented, “Big T for a reason.”
Tonto Dikeh’s gesture is not surprising as she is known for taking care of her supporters. In September, she gave her best friend Doris Ogala a new car. Doris announced the gift on Instagram, clarifying that the car wasn’t a loan repayment.
Earlier in June, Tonto made headlines when she invested N1.3 million in actor Uche Maduagwu’s new business for her birthday celebration.
However, Dikeh has also faced criticism. Activist Very Dark Man accused her of abusing power after sharing a video of her alleged brawl with a car dealer over an unpaid debt. Reports say Tonto bought a car for N86 million in installments but didn’t pay the N2 million balance.
In response, Tonto dismissed her critics, stating that she values herself and doesn’t allow negativity to affect her. She also reminded everyone that her name, Oba, is a title, leaving her haters to interpret it as they wish.
