Tonto Dike Disgraces Herself At Iyanya’s Concert In London

Published

on

Controversial actress turned singer, Tonto Dikeh, last Monday broke into trending topics on social media. Dikeh, who co-hosted Iyanya’s Kukere concert in London last Sunday night, fell down on stage.

A mob of fans and critics bombarded her Twitter handle and tweeted comments about the circumstances which rnade her fall during the concert. A cross section of those who tweeted at her said she-must have been drunk while some advised her to cultivate the habit of putting on wears that would make her feel comfortable whenever she goes for such shows.

One of her fans with the name, Blessing Hanna, describes the fall as a big disgrace. She notes that the incident that made her breasts come out to the open is unfortunate.

She tweets, “I have told you several times never to take too much of alcohol whenever you wanna perform on stage! Easy girl life najeje. This babe no dey learn at all! Which kind disgrace be this!”

Another of the actress’ fans, Lina Bella, asks her to drag the organisers of the show to court and get damages for inviting her to anchor a show on a slippery floor.

“You owe nobody no apology. As a matter of fact, you should sue the organisers for staging the concert on a slippery floor. Na abroad you dey and everything na court,” Bella advises.

Some other Nigerians who were amazed at the news of Tonto Dikeh’s fall say they are going to use her picture showing her fall at the London concert as their avater on Twitter. One Sage Kristen tweets, “In fact, I must use her picture as my new avi.”

On his part, @ DaBishop says Tonto Dikeh deserves an award as one controversial Nigerian who always finds herself breaking into trending topics on Twitter.

“I think Twitter should give @TONTOLET a big award as the most trending individual in Nigeria every two months. She is the real meaning of celeb.”

But one Orekelewa disagrees with @DaBishop, saying Nigerians who cultivate the habit of making a mountain out of a mole hill are the ones making it seem as if she is famous.

‘’’You are all just making @TONTOLET even more famous with this falling crap. She is not the first to fall on stage .and won’t be the last.”           .

Meanwhile, some other people say if Tonto Dikeh continues to adorn herself in such outfits she wore at the London concert, she should expect more stage falls.

@ theurbanboy says, “You (Tonto Dikeh) looked very hot last night, baby, and when you fell, you were hotter. You need to be falling more often with dresses like that.”

Rita Egwu, however, appears sympathetic when she says, “I think it was the skirt that was tight or maybe the shoes. High shoes do that sometimes even if you are walking.”

Tonto Dikeh really has more associates who are sympathetic to her situation, with many of them giving her words of encouragement.

. Artus Frank, in a tweet, says, “I heard-you fell on stage. Don’t let it get to you, a bad day isn’t a bad life’, while ‘Priti Priti says, “Sorry about that, dear. The slippery tiles and the shoes! It happens often to celebs! Lady Gaga fell the other day on stage, stay strong! Love you.”

The controversial actress, who was once advised by fans and critics to forget music and concentrate on acting, has, however, taken steps to turn the incident to a good public relations strategy for her social ‘profile.

She has responded to a couple of tweets, while she has also denied in a tweet that she was drunk.

“So, 1 had a big fall on stage. But no 1 wasn’t high. The long dress and the slippery floor don’t go,” she states in a tweet.

Speaking about the discussion and debate the incident ignited on various social media platforms, she says she is surprised that she broke into trending topics while Iyanya, whose show he went to anchor, has not got such a new media frenzy.

She says, “This is wrong. I’m trending and Iyanya isn’t? 1 enjoyed his show. He made me dance all night. The show was mad.”

Jewel Environmental Initiative (JEI), a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), has commended President Bola Tinubu for inaugurating the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, urging Nigerians and stakeholders to support the initiative nationwide.
Mr Ismail Bima, Chief Executive Officer of JEI, said in a statement in Gombe yesterday that the tour would significantly strengthen public understanding of climate change and encourage collective environmental responsibility.
Bima described the initiative as a clear affirmation of the Federal Government’s commitment to pursuing practical solution driven strategies that addressed climate challenges and safeguarded livelihoods, ecosystems, and national development efforts.
He noted that the programme would achieve its objectives if government institutions, private organisations, civil society groups, and citizens actively played their respective roles in promoting awareness, resilience, and sustainable practices.
According to him, the inauguration marks an important step toward building a nationwide movement capable of delivering measurable progress in Nigeria’s broader efforts to secure a climate resilient future for generations.
He said JEI fully aligned with the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, noting that the initiative could inspire innovation, strengthen environmental education, and promote sustainable development across communities nationwide.
Bima also commended the Minister of Environment and urged federal, state, and local stakeholders to support the initiative, stressing that climate change impacts affected all citizens regardless of region or status.
He emphasised that growing climate pressures on agriculture, livelihoods, and ecosystems made the awareness tour timely, adding that stronger information sharing and partnerships were necessary to confront environmental risks nationwide.
He urged authorities to implement the initiative with sustained commitment, extend activities to grassroots communities, and collaborate with state and local governments to ensure wider participation and maximum impact nationwide effectively.
The Tide source reports that President Tinubu inaugurated the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour in Abuja on Tuesday to promote climate resilience and sustainable development nationwide initiatives.

“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.

Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.

The Tide Entertainment reports that  Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.

The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
