I begged for money to eat before I made it in life — Tonto Dikeh

Firstclass newsline Special~Growing up life was not easy, not after I
lost my mom at the age of three. Though I thank my step mom for
keeping up with my rudeness and stubbornness. Sometimes, I felt like
killing myself but God saw me through that stage in my life and
sometimes I sit and ask God why me?
At the age of twenty, I said to myself `I wouldn't ask my dad for
money- I wanted to be independent. I tried traveling to UK but I got
refused at Nigerian Embassy, not because my documents were not
complete but because I didn't have the connection to pass through" she
stated
"University life was so hard for me, handouts I could not afford, I
begged from hand to mouth just to eat! Sometimes, I considered going
back to my dad but ego and pride wouldn't let me.
Then, all my jeans were Alababend-down-select.If the jeans was longer
than me I would cut it to my size to make it look rugged! If I asked
friends for a favour, before they helped they would ask me to do
something for them in return, like cleaning their rooms, or helping
with course work" she added.
She then went on to advise her fans never to give up in their struggle
to make it in life. For sometime now, Tonto has been engaging in a
soft kind of motivational talks on social media, showing people there
might be another side to the controversial figure we all hate to love.
