Actress Tonto Dikeh Reveals Why She Doesn’t Attend Burial

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has revealed that she has never attended any burial.

Dikeh also stated that this is due to a decision she made as a child.

Dikeh made this known on her Instagram page on Thursday, where she noted that the burial ceremony of her “mother” may be the first one she’d ever attend.

“I have never attended a burial before. I will never attend one too. I said this when I was a child and I stick by it,”

Dikeh continued, “My mum’s burial will/might be my first ever. To all my friends who think I am shutting them out, my reason is I don’t attend burials.

“If I let you attend my mum’s I will owe you the same favour and I can’t repay that. If you love me, pray for my family. If you intend to support me, only pray for me.

“Don’t send a dime or a consolation message. I don’t do so well with that! But know I appreciate you all a lot and I’m grateful.” 

Tonto Dikeh described how she felt and said, “My pain is bigger than you think. Your presence may mean a lot but I’ll love to grieve privately.”
