In her usual uncouth attitude,
Tonto Dike who is known for uttering words without caution or evaluation,
talked ill of Igbo man with a Punch Reporter while also citing Genevieve to buttress her point during the interview.
Interviewer: We just learnt
that you will be getting married soon to your new boyfriend who happens to come
from Benin, Edo state. Why are so many Nollywood female starts getting snapped
up by Benin or men from Edo state?
Tonto Dike: First of all, it
is nobody’s business where my fiance is from. That out of the way, yes Benin
men are great and very understanding. They are not sitting and judging you
unlike an Igbo man that will want to be poke-nosing in everything you do. You
make your money and the Edo man is not interested in your personal affairs .
“If I keep waiting for an Igbo man, I will just end up like Genevieve Nnaji who
is eternally single.”
Tonto Dike debunked the
statement above…
In a reaction to the alleged
interview, which has spread like wild fire, Tonto reacted this way, “I have
never and will never say anything against Genevieve. I will not even interfere
in her personal issues. I did not grant such interview.”
Her publicist also denied any
such statement from Tonto dike. The publicist said, “after her interview with
you (NFC) last year December, Tonto Dike has only granted an interview with a
soft-sell magazine, which was done about three months ago.
So, I don’t know where that
purported interview came from or when such was granted.”
Question: Is this interview fabricated by Punch
newspaper?
