#NOLLYWOOD GOSSIP! #TONTO DIKEH HAS DONE IT AGAIN! “ITS OVA”!

A DELICIOUS NEW SURVEY FOR YOU!

PICTURES AND VIDEO ARE RIGHT BELOW THE SURVEY.

It happens every now and then, were an actress given the right opportunity would chose the music industry over the film industry. These selected few still pursue their passion despite discovering their talent in the film industry. Although new fans who never knew their previous work become a bit more receptive of their new work, dedicated movie fans on the other hand are not.

The opposite happened to the highly successful and famous Beyoncé. Her Music fans adored her as a musician but bashed her as an actress. They were only willing to accept the upbeat Beyoncé who had a great voice and did hard dance steps, and refused to approve a resolve or emotional character that only spoke in films.

“One million downloads within 9 hours of music release” www.naijagists.com

Her music video has almost 100,000 views on YouTube.

“…The most controversial actress who rocked Nollywood… ” www.vanguardngr.com

Statistically speaking, Tonto Dikeh’s ability to perform as an actress in Nigeria has never been in question. However, attacks on this young actress have been over her personal life and attitude towards life. One can’t help but think the public thinks that maybe the actress is incapable of handling the lifestyle of a musician in addition to dealing with her harsh lifestyle. Which means a large percentage of the public agrees that Tonto Dikeh “is” capable of delivering as musician and a performing artist?

Nevertheless, I will leave Your response to this survey to reveal the truth!

“…what can one say but wow. Great colors, great lighting, great cinematography, even though some scenes appear to be straight out of Beyoncé’s "Single Ladies". Truthfully, only problem with the video is Tonto Dikeh herself.” 9jaLife

There are many horrible musicians both in Nigerian and the Americans. The visible reality here is the fact that it is no longer enough for you to only know how to sing, you must also be a performer. You must be able to put on a show and make the crowed go crazy. No one understands performing and putting on a show better than today’s pop artists (an avenue in music Tonto has always wanted to sample).

The question to you is this: Let’s be honest, put Tonto Dikeh’s personal life and personality aside. Can Tonto Dikeh deliver as a Performing Artist and an Actress?

**Don't worry, this survey is confidential.** 

No one, including myself, will be able to see your personal information. 

ALTHOUGH THIS ACTRESS WILL SEE THIS SURVEY, SHE STILL CAN NOT SEE THE NAME, PICTURE, OR INFORMATION OF THE PERSON WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS SURVEY. 

BE HONEST AND HAVE FUN!
