Share this article

Nollywood actress Tonto Dike has opened up about her long struggle with multiple addictions, revealing that she began smoking at age 13 and battled the habit for 27 years. Speaking during a Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church, Dike also shared her past struggles with alcohol, masturbation, and prolonged anger issues, describing them as “demonic oppression.”

The 40-year-old actress attributed her healing to divine intervention, noting significant changes in her life after deepening her spiritual journey. “I smoked since I was 13. God healed me from masturbation, too. I have even experienced sexual acts in dreams since childhood,” she said, adding that her smoking habit began because her father was a smoker. She urged parents to avoid exposing children to harmful habits.

Dike further revealed that God recently healed her from “demonic anger,” which had previously affected her relationships and personal life. Following her testimony, Pastor Jerry Eze prayed for the actress, declaring that “the burden of sin is broken” and describing her as “a voice in her generation.”
