Give Before You Ask — Nigerian Actress, Tonto Dikeh Shares Blunt 2026 Money Advice With Fans

Tonto Dikeh, the Nollywood actress, has shared what she calls a “small secret” that many people tend to overlook — a revelation she believes could impact their financial fortunes in 2026.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, the actress advised people to stop seeing wealthy friends, family members, and influential figures only as future helpers, and start being intentional about giving to them first — no matter how small.

Tonto explained that rich people receive countless messages daily from people asking for help, but very few from people who simply want to give or appreciate them. According to her, standing out starts with being different.

She encouraged fans to give within their capacity, stressing that it is not about the size of the gift but the heart and intention behind it.

“These people have thousands of DMs of people begging them, but not of people wanting to give them. Be different,” she said.

The actress also touched on a lesson she said her life coach once taught her — that leadership and blessings often flow through those who understand the power of giving. 

Tonto added that many people constantly ask favors from friends they rely on, yet have never taken time to give them even a small gift in appreciation.
