''I Don't Have A Good Voice And I Can't Sing'' - Tonto Dikeh
I stumbled upon an old interview granted by star actress and musician wanna be, Tonto Dikeh- Pokolee, in 2009, when she was just 24 years old.
Recall that after participating in one of the editions of the Next Movie Star, Tonto started being popular after featuring in Mama G's musical video "National Moi Moi".Tonto was very fresh, cute and innocent looking in that video that many people started enquiring about her.
So based on her appearance in that video, she was asked the below question in one of her earliest interviews in 2009:
Plans of releasing an album?
“No! I don’t have a good voice and I can’t sing, but people actually commend that voice in one of Mama Gee album video and they love the voice and the song, which was an actualization for Mama Gee."
But today, Tonto is not just an actress, but now a singer, or a wanna be singer, maybe she has worked on her voice. She now has dual personalities:
Many of her fans were exhilarated when Dbanj signed Pokolee. Many are of the opinion that Pokolee is gonna be the Rihanna of Nigeria.
In the same interview, Tonto also talked about being a born again Christian:
Turning point in life
“The day I gave my life to God in 2000 everything became new in my life, since then His love has always and will continue to endure in my life because it gives me so much joy seeing Pastors and their wives serving God. Even young men and women serve God so why won’t I."
Being a born again Christian?
"Yes I can boldly stand on the top of the earth and say I’m a born again Christian though I may do things that are wrong sometimes, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m born again because we are all human."
Tonto granted the interview when she was a fast rising actress.
So, Never say Never,
You Never can tell what the future holds for you.
