Tonto Dikeh, a Nollywood actress, gave controversial socialite Bobrisky a N2 million cash gift and a touching homage on his birthday.
Bobrisky was referred to by Dikeh as her “brother,” “anchor,” and one of the most trustworthy individuals in her life.
Additionally, she gave him a N2 million cheque, which she referred to as “breakfast money” for the birthday person.
The actress recalled how Bobrisky supported her through a trying time in her long birthday greeting posted on Instagram.
She claims that Bobrisky did not hesitate or enquire when she informed him that it was “time for war.”
“How far are we going to fight?” was his reaction, according to her.
Such devotion and unwavering support for a buddy, according to Dikeh, are uncommon and priceless.

Online comments have been triggered by her word choice in the birthday tribute, though.
The actress frequently used masculine pronouns and phrases like “man” and “brother” to speak to Bobrisky.
“This is BOB, MY FRIEND IN WHOM I AM PLEASED,” she said as she concluded her homage.
Social media users’ responses to her article were divided; some criticised her choice to use masculine language to characterise Bobrisky, while others applauded her commitment to their friendship.
Bobrisky merely wrote, “Thank you, mama,” in response to the compliment.

Dikeh’s loyalty was commended by @lash.cribng.Tonto’s devotion to the people she loves is one of the reasons I adore her. Even in a fresh crowd, she wouldn’t turn you down. I hope Bob will soon come to know Christ. We love him just as much as Jesus does. The heavenly realm will commemorate him one day.
