Tonto Dikeh Testifies of Deliverance from Addictions and Anger Issues
Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has publicly shared her testimony of deliverance from smoking, alcohol addiction, masturbation, and long-standing anger issues during a Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church.
In a video posted by DCLImagery on YouTube, Dikeh gave her testimony during the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations service, led by the church’s founder, Pastor Jerry Eze.
Speaking before the congregation, Dikeh revealed that she began smoking at the age of 13 and battled alcohol and masturbation addictions for years, crediting her transformation to divine intervention.
“I smoked since I was 13. God healed me from masturbation, too. I have known myself to have sexual intercourse in the dream ever since I was a child,” she shared.
She explained that her appearance at the altar was both a testimony and an act of thanksgiving, noting that she almost withdrew due to concerns about her public image.
“The devil tried to tell me that I was supposed to protect my image. But I told myself, what image? The God that gave me the image is the same God that can take it away,” she said.

Dikeh further explained that after attending the Ghana Prayer Conference, she noticed a change in what she described as years of spiritual oppression. “I realised that the weak man who held me captive all my years in my dream ran away,” she added, calling the experience a turning point in her spiritual life.
The actress also spoke about her struggle with what she referred to as “demonic anger,” which she said had negatively affected her relationships and personal life. “An anger that destroyed my life. Everybody had to feel it. But praying with NSPPD, God took all of those away and gave me peace,” she said.
She went on to reveal that she had never known peace until recently. “I am 40 years old, and I can tell you I have never known peace until now. I am living in it,” she said.
Dikeh shared that her smoking habit lasted for 27 years, a behaviour she attributed to being exposed to smoking at home. She urged parents to be mindful of the habits they expose their children to. “I started smoking because my dad was a smoker. Something as little as that habit can inhabit the lives of your children,” she said.
After praying for divine help, Dikeh explained that she no longer experiences cravings for cigarettes or alcohol. “My body does not ask for it. My body is repelling it. Today, it is broken,” she said.
Pastor Eze prayed for the actress, declaring that “the body of sin is broken” and described her as “a voice in her generation.”
In addition to her testimony, Dikeh shared several photos on Instagram taken at the church, captioning them: “A living testimony of mercy. One God spared, restored, and commissioned.”
In recent months, Dikeh has been open about her renewed Christian faith, describing her spiritual journey as one marked by peace, restoration, and a commitment to serving God.
