Nollywood actress and Rivers State deputy governship candidate, Tonto Dikeh has given reasons why she doesn’t regret her failed relationships.
In a viral clip of her interview with Chude Jideonwo, Tonto stated that she doesn’t have the right to regret any of her past relationships. Giving reasons, she stated that she kept herself in such relationship by accepting to date them.
She noted how her first relationship gave her her son, King Andre and how her second relationship showed her true love, though it was filled with lies and infidelity. For her, she has learnt from these relationships as such, why she doesn’t regret them.
However, if she had the ability to change things in her past, she would have avoided those relationships. All the actress is focused on now is growing, learning and moving on.
“Honestly I have regretted only one thing in my life. For my relationship, NO My 1st relationship gave me the most beautiful boy in the whole world. Second taught me that even if you show me true love, you can still be the devil. So, I learnt alot from my relationship. I wouldn’t say I regretted it, if I was to take myself back, I probably wouldn’t have gotten myself involved or indulged in it. I don’t think I have the right to regret what I went through because I put myself there. All I have to do is grow, learn and move on”.
The African Democratic Congress deputy governorship candidate for Rivers State, Tonto Dikeh had sent a message to critics of her political movement.
Tonto Dikeh who has been criticized by many for wanting to become a deputy governor yet not being able to manage her first marriage and a second romantic relationship, responded to the critics in a conversation with media personality Chude Jideonwo.
According to the former actress and single mum, Tonto Dikeh, matters regarding her bedroom affairs have no relevance to her quest for a political career.
“You’re not ready for change, because you cannot be looking at my bedroom life, and tell me that I cannot change you. That’s irrelevant. If we’re having a marriage conversation, that can come up, but if we’re talking about leadership, that shouldn’t even be a yardstick.”
Tonto Dikeh said. Tonto Dikeh further said “I don’t want to say too much, but the truth is, we all know what we want. What if a husband has nothing for me? What if that’s not where I want life to carry me? There’s so many things that people should look at. What if I have said to myself, I do not ever want? I’m just saying, you know? What if a person has said to herself, I don’t want to ever get married, but I want to rule? So, I can’t do that because there’s no man beside me? We should be wise. I’m not scared of anything; I own my life with my chest. I am not ashamed of what I’ve been through, what I’m going to go through, or what I came out of. No!”
