Tonto Dikeh Gifts Bobrisky ₦2 Million, Sparks Controversy

On September 22, 2026, Tonto Dikeh, a Nollywood actress and self-proclaimed evangelist, surprised her longtime friend Bobrisky (Idris Okuneye) with a ₦2 million birthday gift. This gesture, shared on social media, prompted discussions about the funding of her recently established ministry, the New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle (NWPT), which she launched in Abuja on August 9, 2026.

The ministry is described as an interdenominational spiritual gathering aimed at believers seeking to experience God's presence. Following the gift, Bobrisky publicly thanked Tonto on his Instagram, sharing a screenshot of the bank alert.

However, the act led to scrutiny, with some commenters suggesting the funds might have originated from church offerings, while others defended Tonto. Additionally, the scrutiny intensified due to her friendship with a transgender individual, raising questions about her role as an evangelist.

Tonto also faced allegations from her former best friend, Doris Ogala, regarding a financial arrangement related to her relationship with Pastor Fatoyinbo, which she dismissed in a video.
