While most consider Tonto a good actress, calling her Nigeria’s
‘best actress’ could be considered “a step taken too far”.
To better understand this, take into consideration what happened
when she was crowned Nigeria’s best actress at the Exquisite Lady
of the Year (ELOY) Awards.
Majority of the guests at the event were surprised when Dike was
announced the winner of the Best Actress category.
Dikeh left behind such stars as Ini Edo, Rita Dominic, Kate
Henshaw, Jackie Appiah and a few others.
Many were sure that Rita Dominic would win, as she carted away
most of the accolades for the year. However, Dikeh, who was
nominated for her role in the Uche Jombo-produced My Life, My
Damage, prevailed.
There is an opinion among movie lovers that Tonto is better at
attracting controversy than lead roles. Some think she should
concentrate on being a better actress.
In an industry with the likes of Joke Silva, Liz Benson, Patience
Ozokwor, Kate Henshaw and Genevieve Nnaji, how can Tonto Dike
be Nigeria’s best actress?
