Tonto Dikeh Tells Fans to Stop Using Fasting and Prayer for Problems That Need Action
Nollywood actress and politician Tonto Dikeh has shared a strong message with her followers, warning them to stop depending only on fasting and prayer for problems that need practical solutions. In a recent social media post, the mother of one said that while spirituality is important, many situations in life require action, knowledge, and hard work.
Tonto explained that it is dangerous to ignore responsibilities like work, income, and daily bills just because someone is focused only on religious practices. She said that people need to understand the difference between when to pray and when to act.
She wrote, “Don’t waste time fasting and praying about something you need knowledge to solve. Never joke with your sources of income. Love may come and go, but hunger visits every day. Take your hustle seriously because you’ll never stop paying bills in this world.”
Her statement quickly sparked reactions online, with many people agreeing that while faith is good, it should be balanced with real effort and smart decisions. Tonto’s message adds to ongoing conversations about how Nigerians sometimes ignore practical steps for success while waiting on spiritual breakthroughs.
She also warned that hunger is a constant issue and that no matter what someone is going through emotionally, daily expenses will always be there. Her advice was especially targeted at young people who may be jobless but spend more time in prayer than looking for opportunities.
Meanwhile, in another entertainment update, former Big Brother Naija housemates Bisola Aiyeola and Mercy Eke spoke about how the reality show changed their lives. They shared their experiences during the birthday party of BBNaija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu in Lagos.
Bisola said she always had faith in her talent but added that the show helped speed up her career. Mercy Eke also spoke about how BBNaija opened many doors for her. Both stars thanked the platform for giving them the chance to shine.
As celebrities continue to share their real-life struggles and lessons, Tonto Dikeh’s message serves as a reminder that success often requires more than just prayers — it demands action.
