ogugua88: The comparison is fair. The issue at hand is a serious one. Stella released an emotional and well-conceived video. Tonto Dikeh released a statement using shorthand vocabulary. I don't see any seriousness or thought in her writing.

Sweetlemon:

Not everybody can be elegant and eloquent at the same time. Let's let the girl off the gallows for now since she's making sense now. That she's making sense is all that matters as we are all fighting a common enemy.
Her ratings have raised a notch in my own books sha, because the other eloquent celebs and even women in power are still keeping quiet.

Texas.Cowgirl:


When will she come out against bleaching creme and the African mentality?

Omo_barca: first positive post on tonto dike since I joined nairaland

JIGHU: tonto dike is the biggest fool....all these follow follow steps? She does not even have a clue what happened in the senate and opens her gutters to spew rubbish......go and seek understanding of the amendment not bill or law , am sure you have never read the Nigerian Constitution

Shollypopz: Nigerians are never satisfied, never!

Y'all making fun of her diction should get a life. This is Tonto's style, her brand, she shouldn't and doesn't hv to be or pretend to be like anyone else.

Among many other celebrities, she's one of the few to show support.
Women! Always quick to hate on each other, if her post dey pain you, drink bleach.

tellwisdom: Tonto now a senator??...Which district??

Blazinraj01: If they married her off at a young age, that would make Nigeria less of one nuisance

OMG, I didn't just say that

ignis: Wow, so Tonto can say reasonable thing like this.

utumunta: Madam, FYI that law has been in existence before you were born. It did not just come into force. The senate only sought an amendment to it, but it was defeated.
We expect ladies like you that have thrown all decency and decorum to the wind, thereby debasing womanhood, to know that your actions and inactions has to a large extent contributed to teen prostitution and pregnancy, cos a lot of kids copy you. I make bold to submit that the difference between you(and your likes) and Yerima is like that of six and half dozen. There are many under sixteen Tonto Dikeh 'wanna-be'. Have you ever sat down to ask yourself what/who is it that these kids 'wanna-be'?
While we applaud your actions in condemning the senate, we urge you to turn a new leaf and miseducate our daughters less.

Nollywood actress cum singer Tonto Dikeh, like other actresses (Omotola Monalisa Chinda, and Stella damascus), shared her thoughts via facebook on the controversial child marriage law recently approved by the Senators.

ogugua88:



A serious issue warrants a serious response. When help or relief for natural disasters and/or crises is being asked, even the most rugged of actors and musicians will polish themselves and ask for public assistance and involvement. Because she types like an illiterate for branding purposes doesn't mean she should appear as an illiterate for such an issue. The issue at hand is bigger than her brand. There's a time and place for everything.

HotNaijaBabe:


Ahhah! I tire for Nigerians oh! They are never satisfied! They will live their own life and attempt to help you live yours too. So, I don't dig Tonto Dike but i commend her for airing her opinion against Child marriage.... she at least used her shorthand grammar and 'razzness' to fight for the right cause...Where are all the other POSH celebrities with their perfect grammar?....

Sweetlemon:

Don't mind them!

Abu Mikey: Tonto has returned to her senses oooo.

Somebody shout hallelyahhhhhhh

*Shollypopz:

If that tweet wasn't serious enough for you, then damn!
"There is a time and place for everything"- You know she made that post on twitter right?? Wouldn't the word count limit on a tweets explain the need for abbreviations??
Apart from grammatical errors, that post was befitting for twitter. Anyone that has watched Tonto Dikeh in an interview would know that she isn't the most fluent English speaker.

As long as they both achieve the same result, the approach in this case should be the least of your worries.
