Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has openly offered her insights for single mothers, reflecting on her personal journey and development. In a recent Instagram post, she responded to a message from another single mother who was looking for advice on navigating the difficulties of parenting after a divorce.

The inquiry came from a woman who felt inadequate and wanted to know how Dikeh coped when her ex-husband departed, leaving her to raise their child alone. This woman described herself as “a nobody aiming to be somebody soon,” and sought practical guidance.

In her reply, Dikeh made it clear that she was the one who decided to leave her marriage for her own well-being and that of her child, labeling it the “best decision” she ever made. She highlighted the significance of self-investment and personal development, urging the woman to focus on her own health and that of her child while seeking divine guidance.

Dikeh’s message included: “Good morning, I want to clarify that I chose to leave my marriage; it was a necessary step for both my child and me. It was the best choice I could have made. You have the ability to transform into the person you wish to be, provided you dedicate yourself to personal growth and self-investment.

Always prioritize your children's well-being while looking for strength and direction from God. Sometimes, the conclusion of one chapter can lead to the start of your blessings, but if your marriage holds value, do fight for it. Take care.”

In a subsequent Instagram post, Dikeh extended a more general message to single mothers, acknowledging that while she may not have all the solutions, she draws strength from love and faith.

 

She wrote: “Dear single mothers, I don’t have a manual for these things. I am neither a pro in this movement. My biggest teacher has been LOVE. I just let God do his thing, and his thing is enough for me. Draw strength from God, and most especially keep your family matters private.”
