Why I no longer feature in Nollywood movies – Tonto Dikeh

Now we have got an answer to the sudden disappearance of actress Tonto Dikeh from the movie industry.

Tonto Dikeh who is now a single mum of one revealed this in an exclusive chat with Elsie Godwin of Plus TV Africa.

“I haven’t retired, the truth is I have played every role there is. There isn’t much challenge anymore.

I have about just two or three movies that make go wow, I want to be in this. There is no action, no adrenaline rush when watching Nollywood movies, it is just the same pictures, stories, scenes, environment, we don’t have location“

She further said “Different things actually come into place on why I haven’t been on the screen today, I haven’t found the perfect script that I want to act in”

“i want to watch a movie i star in and hear my voice and not know it is my voice..we need to train ourselves and be more and i think I am one of the few people that have attained that more….” she stated.

When asked why she isn’t producing her own movies to prove that she is indeed not in the league of the modern Nollywood producers, Tonto Dikeh said “Producing is not something i love, it is not for everybody, i am more good in acting but producing is not my thing but Gneveive Nnaji has made me understand that now with Lion heart. “
