The 35-year-old spoke with media personality Chude Jideonwo about her youth.
Dikeh described herself as an “adult as a child” because she and her brothers “had to level up to those who had mothers.”
“Collectively, I just think it’s from everything I’ve been through. Also losing my mother at a very early age. Everybody in my home became a voice. I was a child but I never had a childhood,” she said.
“I became an adult as a child, we had to level up to people who had mums. So that alone put me on a pedestal that I had to know more than average me in the average peer group. So I grew into life faster than I should.”
The actress also discussed her unsuccessful music career.

“I failed woefully in music. But I still don’t regret it. When I say I failed in music, it is not because my music were not good. I think I lost the confidence to move on,” she said.
“Music is consistency. If I had continued with that, I would have made good music. That is where the failure is coming from, not because I did bad music.”
Dikeh has stated that she aspired to be a pastor at some point in her life.
The actress has made a name for herself in the Nigerian film industry, receiving numerous accolades and honours.
Dikeh was recently chosen as Tonte Ibraye’s running mate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in River’s state.
The film star’s nomination came two years after she opened up about her plans to go into politics in 2023.
