When the course was complete she returned to Nigeria in 2009 where she belatedly explored her ambition for show business. Her parents had made sure that she finished college before she indulged her career of choice. Her brother had been a musician with the band Oxygen and Tones initially decided to be a show business photographer. Her portfolio caught the attention of D’banj’s reality show, Koko Mansion.
She still (2017) does photographic work but now both behind and in front of the camera. She has appeared as an actor in the Web TV series "Gidi-culture"; in several films including "Its Her Day" in 2016.
