It is no longer news that Tonto Dikeh’s marriage to Olakunle Churchill has hit the rocks. The controversial actress has however resorted to dedicating her time to creating awareness on domestic violence against women.
Dikeh was one of the celebrities who recently marched against domestic violence alongside other notable Nigerians.
At the march, Dikeh who was overwhelmed by emotions shed tears and angrily dropped the banner used for the march .
Speaking on the subject of domestic violence, she said:”I think the one issue that actually births the high rate of domestic violence is the fact that we are not talking about it enough. It is the fact that the society is shaming us when we talk about it. So we rather not talk about it, we rather keep it on a hush hush until it is worse.
“I am sure a lot of men now will be scared to beat their wives now because this awareness is no joke, there are heavyweights here. It is not about ridiculing men like I always say. It is to make us a better person. It is to make our homes better.
” Nobody is saying run out of your homes. I am not preaching divorce. I am preaching that you speak out. because your life matters. Your children’s lives matter and your husband’s life matters”
