Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh
last week revealed how she was denied visa by British Embassy in Nigeria.

She also talked about how her step mother took care of her after she lost her mum at the age of 3.

Read what she said below....

“Growing up life was not easy, not after I lost my mom at the age of three. Though I thank my step mom for keeping up with my rudeness and stubbornness. Sometimes, I felt like killing myself but God saw me through that stage in my life and sometimes I sit and ask God why me?

At the age of twenty, I said to myself `I wouldn’t ask my dad for money- I wanted to be
independent. I tried traveling to UK but I got refused at Nigerian Embassy, not because my
documents were not complete but because I didn’t have the connection to pass through.
University life was so hard for me, handouts I could not afford, I begged from hand to mouth just
to eat! Sometimes, I considered going back to my dad but ego and pride wouldn’t let me. Then, all my jeans were Alaba bend-down-select. If the jeans was longer than me I would cut it to my size to make it look rugged! If I asked friends for a favour, before they helped they would ask me to do something for them in return, like cleaning their
rooms, or helping with course work”.

Such is lifel

If everybody start to talk abt their growing up life, who go pity who?
