Tonto Dikeh reverts to original name King Tonto Dikeh after spiritual realignment
Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has officially reverted to her original name King Tonto Dikeh after eight years as King Tonto, citing spiritual realignment. The controversial actress announced the name change in 2018 following her separation from husband Olakunle Churchill, posting a voter card showing her new name with the caption 'officially changed my name to King Tonto'. Eight years later, she declared the reversal in obedience to the Holy Spirit, stating 'I will no longer be addressed as King Tonto' as part of her spiritual journey. Tonto, 40, has been open about her spiritual awakening and recent graduation from a discipleship class at Streams of Joy International, where she displayed her certificate bearing her original name. She now identifies as Woman of God, Evangelist Tonto, Aunty Tonto, or Big T, thanking fans for supporting her transformation 'from a mess to a message'.
