You are one of the most celebrated stars coming out of Nollywood. What do you cherish most as a career woman?

Acting is a profession that gives me joy and I am so passionate about my career. Of course, I am delighted that my hard work and dedication gave birth to the brand, Tonto Dikeh Entertainment Foundation. However, the aspect of my job that gives me fulfilment is the immense support from my fans. I am grateful to everyone for believing in me. Indeed, you are the reason I push harder and want to be a better person. God bless you all.

You have not featured in any movie since you got married. Why?

I have not worked in any production after marriage because I have been busy in my primary duties as a wife and mother. I need adequate time to build a solid foundation for my family and for a sustainable home. And I hope to be back in no distant time.

 As a married woman, would you accept any role that comes your way now?
As a married woman a lot of things change in your life. Of course, you must have some sense of responsibility in decision making, because it is not just about your life anymore, you have a family to take care of. So, for the respect I have for my head, who is my husband and my neck, who is my son, I can’t play certain roles anymore. And I don’t have any regrets because my family comes first in all I do.

How are you enjoying motherhood?
Surprisingly, I have embraced the role of motherhood with ease, grace and love. Motherhood is a learning process which I am developing each day. By the special grace of God, I must say I am a fantastic mother to my son.

What do you enjoy most being a mother and wife?
(Smiles) I am enjoying every bit of the experience. It has been a wonderful journey. To the glory of God I am thankful for the love I receive and also give. It is priceless. In fact, I am in love with my husband and son.
