Tonto Dikeh speaks on marriage life

In an interview with Channels TV, Tonto Dike said she has been married longer than people think

"I have been for a very long time.. Just that I kept the secret to myself and trying to enjoy married life..yea it just came out like 2-3 days ago. One mistake we do is having this very loud announcement on when you have been engaged and everything and its only normal that the media helps you destroy your marriage before you even get into your home. So, privacy is key in my marriage “she said

When asked how being married has influenced her person, Tonto said

"It has changed me a lot I could say. It has. It has changed my perspective of life. It has changed the way I think. For once, it has made me a very happy woman, something that i never used to have. Happiness is everything. If you are not happy, you can never be satisfied with what you have or you can never appreciate all the people. I think it has opened my eyes to be able appreciate people despite the fact that they are who they are. I thank God “she said

On the perception that she is very controversial, Tonto said 

"I am a very straightforward person. I am like a book. I am just very open. I think the controversial part of me is something that the media has put upon me. It's just unfortunate that sometimes I help them play that role because of anger. I get so angry sometimes and I help them play that role. But never again. I have learned a lot. Like I said before what marriage has done for me. Marriage has changed my perspective. Now, nobody can push me to being controversial anymore this interview with re.Sometimes, I handled it really badly, and sometimes handle it really good. I will say badly because I responded to negativity and that only just gave an approval that she is a controversial person But I am actually a very sweet loving and godly person. Controversy is actually very far from me.  I wouldn’t say that I have not experienced controversy from a very early age. I have. Even in secondary school when everybody thought I was the bad girl meanwhile I was the only virgin out of my school .Although I just like to hang around men rather than female and they just have this idea in their head. Oh I like wearing short skirts rather than long skirts. I have always had that thing with misconception. Only those who are very close to me understand me. I have been very stubborn about people understanding me. Like I don't care if you understand me “she said

OPC CRISIS: RESIGN NOW OPC FACTION TELLS GANI ADAMS

A faction opposed to the style of leadership of the National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) , Gani Adams on Wednesday demanded for the immediate resignation of their leader over alleged partisanship, high-handedness and abuse of power.

Rising from its meeting held in Ibadan , the Oyo state capital yesterday after a congratulatory visit to the Oyo State council of Nigeria Union of Journalists Oyo State Council over the election of Alhaji Waheed Odusile as the National President of NUJ, the acting national coordinating Council of OPC, alhaji Razak Balogun said the call becomes imperative in view of the vote of no-confidence passed on Adams.

Alhaji Balogun and the other aggrieved leaders claimed that Gani Adams has derailed from the ideals and vision of the group to liberate the Yoruba Nation at large adding that, "he is only using the name of OPC to enrich himself."

Balogun also hinted that that their faction was not out to discredit Gani Adams but to put the record straight that members of OPC had passed a vote of no confidence on him thereby calling for his immediate resignation before it is too late for him.

“Gani Adams has lost focus , he has derailed from the ideals and vision on which the OPC  was founded and he has been using the OPC for self enrichment while he also believed in bloodshed  to drive home his point and actualize his fraudulent acts.”

Balogun added that they were not out to cause any violent as the blood of all their members is not worth wasting before they can send Gani Adams away from the OPC.

He however debunked the rumour that they were being sponsored by politicians, stressing that Gani Adams involvement in politics which  led to his collection of the alleged multi-billion naira pipeline project from former president Goodluck Jonathan without benefiting the downtrodden members of the OPC was an unfortunate development which called for concern of all group members.

While welcoming the OPC leaders, the chairman of NUJ, Oyo State comrade Gbenga Opadotun pledged the support of the Union to OPC activities so as to serve as partner in progress to move the Yoruba race forward.

Opadotun added, "We have seen you as working towards  liberating the Yoruba race and we assure you that we will be adequately on ground to give you maximum supports at all times."

Comrade Adesina Akinpelu who was among the leaders also stated that the group would intellectually work to make things happen in their bids to make Gani Adams resign without bloodshed, pointing out that Gani Adams lacks respect for traditional rulers and elders of the race.

When contacted , Otunba Gani Adams described the leaders as faceless and that all of them have been expelled from the OPC and that all their allegations are baseless
