Tonto Dikeh Admits to Smoking for 27 Years After Starting at 13

 

By Peter.

Nollywood actress and philanthropist Tonto Dikeh brought congregants to their feet during the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) service at Streams of Joy International Church on Sunday, December 14, 2025, with a raw, emotional testimony of divine deliverance from decades-long struggles.

In a viral video captured by DCLImagery on YouTube, the 40-year-old star—led to the altar by Pastor Jerry Eze—opened up about battles with smoking (since age 13), alcohol addiction, masturbation, spiritual oppression (including sexual encounters in dreams since childhood), and what she called “demonic anger” that wrecked relationships.

“I smoked for 27 years… God healed me from masturbation too. I’ve known sexual intercourse in dreams since I was a child,” Dikeh shared, crediting her turnaround to fervent NSPPD prayers and a recent Ghana Prayer Conference.

She almost skipped the public testimony over “image” fears: “The devil said protect your image—but what image? The God who gave it can take it.” Instead, she chose gratitude: “Today, my body repels cigarettes and alcohol. The urges are gone—the body of sin is broken.”

Dikeh traced her smoking to childhood exposure (“My dad was a smoker—little habits can inhabit your kids”) and hailed newfound peace: “I’m 40 and I’ve never known peace until now. I’m living in it.”

Pastor Eze prayed over her, declaring: “You’re a voice in your generation.”

Instagram Gratitude: “A Living Testimony of Mercy”

Dikeh later posted church photos on IG (@tontolet), captioning: “A living testimony of mercy. One God spared, restored, and commissioned.”

The post and video have exploded online—fans flooding comments with “Hallelujah!” and “God is faithful,” while others praise her vulnerability amid her recent faith journey (frequent NSPPD appearances, philanthropy spikes).

Tonto’s story resonates in a season of celebrity testimonies—reminding many that restoration is possible, no habit too deep for divine turnaround.
