Actress Ronnie Dikko Talks About Being Single And Marrying In Her 50's + Says There Is Hope For Other Single Ladies...

Veteran actress, Ronnie Dikko has been interpreting roles for decades. Most Nigerians will remember the part she played in Family Circle , a popular television series that made waves in the ‘90s.








Acting as the wife of Nobert Young, Ronnie delivered her role excellently in the TV drama that showcased the day-to-day struggles of an average family and how they coped with the different challenges of urban life.


In this interview, the thespian reveals reason she switched her interest from acting to business. She also talks about her willingness to return to set, and why she got married late.



As an actress, you’ve been missing in action; what have you been doing?

I am into renovation and partial building of houses in Lagos and other states in Nigeria. As a company, we try to convert and modernise houses, which also includes interior decoration.


Why have you been missing on the screen?

For some people, the older they get, the more they are in high demand, while it doesn’t work the same way for others. Though, it’s not the case with me. Truthfully, I’m focusing more on my other business instead of acting, but I hope to be more involved in acting. Honestly, at the time I diversified, the money I got in acting was not fulfilling and commensurate with the effort committed. I must commend the Actors Guild of Nigeria for making me the Senior Personal Assistant to the President on Sexual Harassment.


Which was the last programme you featured before you went on break?

I featured in a movie, Forbidden, which was aired on Africa Magic.


Are you not missing set?

I don’t miss acting badly because God has blessed me in an industry where I would say that I’m fulfilled. So, I am not really missing set, but whenever I’m on set, it makes me happy.


How long have you been in the movie industry?

It’s been a long time, since the time of Family Circle. It’s a very long time. Though, I started my company, Ronnie D and Associates where we produced programmes, while Family Circle was in 1998. I get impressed when fans recognise my appearance on Family Circle and call me Nobert Young’s wife, from the television series.

If you get a script now, would you jump at it?

Yes. As an actress, you will always feel happy depicting roles, to the admiration of your fans.


What’s your ideal man?

God has blessed me with my ideal man. It’s good to wait for God’s time. It got to a stage that I stopped blaming people for telling me ‘you no dey marry’ because in Africa it’s expected for every woman to get married. I believe that delay is not denial, if you know the God you serve.


How did you cope with people’s reactions to your marital status then?

Whenever they talked to me concerning marriage, I used to tell them God is in control, because I believe there is somebody for you somewhere. It takes the grace of God to find your life partner, so you have to pray and wait for God to connect you spiritually and physically.


 However, the society is not helping matters, but you don’t have to give up because they are not your creator. Honestly, the pressure can be overwhelming, especially when your biological clock is ticking away, it takes great faith to wait and pray. It is not easy to close your ears to everything people say concerning you, but you have to encourage yourself to be happy.

 After all, it’s not every married person that is happy, some stay in the marriage because of the children. However, marriage is not a do or die affair, but it’s just necessary to share your life with a true friend not an enemy in disguise. So, it’s your choice to pray and wait for the right person.


So, have you found that special person?

I thank God for giving me a true friend and a family.


When did you get married?

I got married last year. My husband hails from Ekiti State while I come from Edo State.


How did you feel finding a man after all these years of being single?

I give glory to God. I feel there is need to have someone to spend your time with, especially when you are getting old. So, l am happy I have someone to spend my old age with (laughter).


How old are you?

I am in my early 50s.


What is your advice to single ladies believing God for husband?

I want to tell them never to doubt God or the efficacy of prayers. If God can give me a husband, they should be hopeful. There are classes of men, so it’s important to look before you leap

  6. I miss seeing her on screen.

    Women, if you believe marriage and raising a family is one of the things you want on this earth, strike when the iron is hot.

    1. Some struck when the iron was hot and got bent out of shape while some didn't have children and others did.
      Nobody can tell their future.

      Congrats to her at her God set time.

    2. It's not about striking when it's hot. It will only happen when God wants it. Except you move out of his will and sort yourself out on your own. Happy she is happy.

    3. I struck when the iron was hurt and really got hurt. I am back to statuesque. I needed a partner badly because all my friends were getting married. Mum needed a son inlaw like it was going out of fashion. Only if l can turn the clock backwards. Pls don't allow any human put you under pressure to marry. Allow God direct your steps and not man. That is why l don't judge people. God please give me a second chance in marriage and l vow not to fail you.

    4. I am so sorry Anon 16:47. I didn’t mean people should be pressured to get into marriage. I really meant ladies should aim to identify and organize their priorities early in life so when they see what they need, they don’t let go just for some superficial reason.
      A lot of ladies remain unmarried till much later not because no good suitor asked their hand in marriage, but because they were not astute or prayerful enough to identify him when they met. Many look back with benefit of hindsight and realize that person A or B could have actually made a good husband.
      I pray you get the second chance you desire, amen.

    4. No one ever believed the whole world will come to a standstill due to corona virus. There is NOTHING impossible in life. No one made you a judge on another persons destiny. Be very careful what you wish others.

    5. Do you know if you being alive is blocking another woman from her husband? I mean the husband she’s destined to marry and the kids she’s destined to inherit after you may have given birth like a pig and passed on? Keep running your mouth. Some of you are wives of the afternoon while wives for a lifetime are coming. You think you know tomorrow. LMAO

  21. I see so many ppl living well into their nineties these days that what may seem old may not be. She could easily have 40-50 years of marriage, which would still be a long marriage. Her words were so encouraging and I hope whomever needed to read this will be motivated in their own journey toward finding love.

    Thank God for using the lives of some as a lesson for others. It is a blessing to have a special place in God's plan on earth and to have your life used as a holy vessel. Those who mocked her their lives were not used, but the one who felt the blows God decided to use in a great and meaningful way, look at God🙏
