Depending on whom you ask, the answer will definitely differ. While
most consider Tonto a good actress, calling her Nigeria's 'best actress'
could be considered "a step taken too far". To better understand this,
take into consideration what happened when she was crowned Nigeria's
best actress at the Exquisite Lady of the Year (ELOY) Awards. Majority
of the guests at the event were surprised when Dike was announced the
winner of the Best Actress category.
The controversial actress beat other nominees - Ini Edo, Rita
Dominic, Kate Henshaw, Jackie Appiah and a few others - to clinch the
award.
Many had rooted for Rita Dominic who has carted away most of the
accolades for the year but was ousted by Dike who got a nomination for
her role in the Uche Jombo-produced My Life, My Damage. Most
movie-lovers think she is better at attracting controversy than lead
roles, while some think she should concentrate on being a better
actress.
In an industry with the likes of Joke Silva, Liz Benson, Patience
Ozokwor, Kate Henshaw and Genevieve Nnaji, how can Tonto Dike be
Nigeria's best actress? Just asking.
