Popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has revealed that she has never attended any burial ceremony and that she is not planning to attend any one in the future.
She revealed she made the decision when she was a child.
She made this known on her Instagram story on Thursday, where she noted that the burial ceremony of her “mother” may be the first one she will/might ever attend.
Tonto who has been absent on social media for a while was reported to have lost her stepmother who had been a mother figure to her.
In her recent Instagram post, the actress addressed her friends who had felt shut out during her loss, adding that she had chosen to mourn privately.
The controversial actress also noted that if she invited them to her mum’s burial, she wouldn’t be able to repay the same favour when the time comes.
She added that she neither needed consolation messages nor monetary contribution, adding that the only support she’d appreciate were prayers for herself and her family.
“I have never attended a burial before. I will never attend one too. I said this when I was a child and I stick by it. My mum’s burial will/might be my first ever. To all my friends who think I am shutting them out, my reason is I don’t attend burials.
“If I let you attend my mum’s I will owe you the same favour and I can’t repay that. If you love me, pray for my family. If you intend to support me, only pray for me.
“Don’t send a dime or a consolation message. I don’t do so well with that! But know I appreciate you all a lot and I’m grateful.”
