VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: Fan wants Tonto to initiate class for single ladies to learn Kung Fu before marriage
Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh got a rather hilarious reply from one of her followers on Instagram who suggested that she help initiate the opening of a school where single ladies can learn Kung Fu or Taekwondo before getting married due to the rising spate of battery.
Tonto who is now focusing on her role as an activist against domestic violence took to her Instagram page scribbling a message reiterating her new role which she says comes with a great sense of responsibility.
“#IamAWoman with a platform! A woman privileged to be of influence to many other women. This comes with great responsibilities. I will strive to portray the strengths of a woman in all I do. I will not let my fellow women down. We are strong. We are unique. We are leaders,” she wrote on the social media platform.

Moments after posting the message on Instagram, one of her followers @oyizmarie, replied thus; “I have a suggestion, I don’t know if it is possible for you to help us put it in action, I think a school should be opened where single ladies take a year course on Taekwondo or Kung Fu before marriage, the man must don chop serious beating before she shout out plus he won’t dare touch her again.”
Recall that days after her dowry was returned, Tonto spoke of the disappointment of her marriage dissolution when she joined her other colleagues like Mercy Aigbe and Foluke Daramola for a campaign organized in Lagos by Queen Wuraola Ogunwusi tagged the #1in3Africa Campaign – an initiative set up to spread awareness to end domestic violence and sexual abuse against women across the continent.
Reports say the walk which witnessed the presence of the Zonal Police P.R.O, SP Dolapo Badmus saw Tonto break down emotionally along the way only for her to be consoled by her fellow colleagues who encouraged her to soldier on through the campaign.

The fan is very silly! If she’s a good woman, she won’t think that way. No good lady will have her home broken because she’ll be submissive and Godly.

In a much as much as I agree that some men need to be flogged, I’m totally against turning ones home into battle field because you want your husband to be of good behavior towards you. As a good woman, you can make your husband good through your humility, prayers and good behaviors.

My question for you is, how many Nigerian women possess these qualities you listed above? 80% of them don’t! Only biafran women are wife materials who know the beauty of marriage and how to keep ones home in good shape. You better give up on Nigerian girls and join us in the movement for Biafra

Celebs have been cursed. They can never have a long time relationship especially when celeb marries another celeb. Pride and arrogance and greed won’t allow them have good homes

That’s not true. We have likes of them with settled homes. The problem is that, to me, they just like public attention and unnecessary popularity. Most of them are planning this break up among them.
