Tonto Dikeh has denied ever granting an interview in which she is quoted as saying she can never marry an Igbo man because they are too nosy.
According to the interview released in 2012, the actress is quoted to have said:.
First of all, it is nobody’s business where my fiance is from. That out of the way, yes Benin men are great and very understanding. They are not sitting and judging you unlike an Igbo man that will want to be poke-nosing in everything you do. You make your money and the Edo man is not interested in your personal affairs . If Ikeep waiting for an Igbo man I will just end up eternally single.
