"Why I Don’t Attend Burials" – Tonto Dikeh

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has revealed that she has never attended any burial due to a decision she made as a child.

She made this known on her Instagram page on Thursday, February 10, 2022, where she noted that the burial ceremony of her “mother” may be the first one she’d ever attend.

The star, who had been absent from social media for a while, was reported to have lost her stepmother who had been a mother figure to her.

In her recent Instagram post, the actress addressed her friends who had felt shut out during her loss, adding that she had chosen to mourn privately.

She also noted that if she invited them to her mum’s burial, she wouldn’t be able to repay the same favor when the time comes.

The controversial actress added that she neither needed consolation messages nor monetary contribution, adding that the only support she’d appreciate were prayers for herself and her family.

“I have never attended a burial before. I will never attend one too. I said this when I was a child and I stick by it,” the grieving actress wrote.
