In one of the interviews, the Nollywood star confessed
that he used to smoke for 21 years, but quit.
“I smoked for 21 years before I quit, and each time I
got tensed up, I looked for a cigarette, and
psychologically I was puffing away the anger; but
there is no other thing it does for you physically but to
destroy your lungs.”

Nollywood actor revealed that drugs and alcohol almost
ruined his life and turned him into a mentally-ill person.
He said:
“Yes, I got my healing through TB Joshua. It is our
lord’s doing. I was having issues with my mentality
for over seven years. You would have noticed that I
have not been that frequent in Movies for a long time.
Even when I was a Special Assistant to our dear
Governor, I was not in a good state of mind and this
affected my work in the Government House, before I
was advised to seek for a solution in Ghana. I spent
so much money visiting hospitals, orthodox and
unorthodox doctors without positive results. Until I
was introduced to TB Joshua. I was only watching his
TV program in Ghana and was healed. I put my faith
into it just like the woman with the issue of blood and
knew that I would be healed and I got my healing. I
am now a mentally stable man. I have dropped the
drinking and smoking habit. Glory be to God.”

In 2012 the controversial actress mentioned that she quit
smoking with the help of TB Joshua. She has
been smoking since the age of 13. Tonto has even told
once in an interview that smoking is her life.

Tonto shared her feelings after deliverance by TB
Joshua in the following way:
“I’ve good news for those who wish me well. Its silly
good news but ya’ll going to love this. I quit smoking!
I didn’t quit smoking by myself. I was watching a
program on TV with Prophet T.B. Joshua and he was
laying hands on people and praying for them. I love to
watch his programs on Emmanuel TV. When he was
praying, he said, ‘Lay your hands on the TV’ and I just
laid my hands that day. I actually needed something
else from God, not to quit smoking because I loved
smoking! However, after praying I sat back and I think
I slept off. When I woke up, I took a stick of cigarette
and I felt crazy. I couldn’t even imagine that I took it
up to smoke in the first place. It felt like poison!”
