Heartfelt Tribute Highlights Unwavering Loyalty
Taking to her social media accounts to mark the occasion, Dikeh shared a photo of Bobrisky alongside a lengthy message praising his steadfast loyalty during challenging moments in her personal life.
In the emotional tribute, the actress referred to Bobrisky using gendered terms, describing him as her brother, her anchor, and one of the most dependable individuals she has known.
“To my brother, my anchor, and the unwavering presence in my life: If you have never experienced the kind of rare, unyielding friendship this man offers, then I can excuse your misunderstandings,” Dikeh wrote.
She further recalled a specific instance where she informed Bobrisky that it was “time for war,” noting that he offered immediate support without hesitation, a trait she described as irreplaceable.
Dikeh concluded the post by revealing the ₦2 million cash transfer, lightheartedly referring to the sum as money intended for his birthday breakfast.

“Listen to me, Tonto, we ride forever,” Bobrisky stated in his response. “Even if you become a pastor, I’m still your first love, and it’s forever. I’m so happy with the new you and your growth.”
The public display of affection generated significant online debate, with social media users expressing varying reactions to Dikeh’s use of language and her close bond with the crossdresser, particularly following her recent launch of a Christian ministry.
