Renowned Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has openly shared her appreciation for the Islamic faith.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, she recounted her experience of living near a mosque for four years and being moved by the daily call to prayer.
“I wake up to the most beautiful sound every day for the past four years… the sound of love and devotion, the sound of God’s beauty and love,” she wrote.
Dikeh also sought advice on how to support a mosque beyond financial contributions, asking her followers for suggestions.
“If I wanted to donate to a mosque, what could I give besides money?” she asked.
The actress commended the dedication and intentionality of Muslims, stating, “God/Allah is love. I’m deeply touched. My biggest prayer is to understand the Muslim faith. Their dedication and intentionality are worthy of emulation.”
In addition to her acting career, Dikeh is also a politician who has participated in elections and switched political parties.
Leading up to the 2023 general election, she transitioned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
She was the Rivers State deputy governorship candidate for the ADC in the 2023 election.
