He Is The Only Man Who Put A Child In Me – Tonto Dikeh Fires Back At Critics Over Mother’s Day Message To Churchill 

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has reacted to criticism that followed her Mother’s Day message to her former husband, Olakunle Churchill.

Abia Radio News reports that the evangelist had earlier taken to her Instagram story on Sunday to appreciate Churchill for making her a mother.

She described motherhood as one of the most beautiful parts of her life and expressed gratitude to him for the role he played in it.

After the message circulated online, some social media users accused her of praising her ex-husband too much.

Responding to the reactions, Dikeh said people criticizing her did not understand the reason behind her gratitude.

She explained that Churchill is the only man who has given her a child and that alone is enough reason for her to remain thankful.

According to her, many people would not understand the peace and joy that comes from choosing a calm relationship after a difficult past.

Dikeh also spoke about the importance of maintaining a peaceful co-parenting relationship for the sake of their child.

She wrote: “Doing to much? For the only man who has put a child in me? The world is truly a sick place, and I’m gratefull don’t let your opinions direct me.

“When e reach your turn don’t thank them. How wld you understand the meaning of joy/peace that makes no sense, how wid you understand healthy Co-parenting, if I don’t show you all.”

The actress and Churchill were once married but their union ended in 2017 after a public disagreement that attracted attention across the country.

For years, both parties traded accusations before the tension between them later reduced.

Recently, Dikeh disclosed that she and Churchill had settled their differences and decided to move forward peacefully.

Their renewed understanding appears to have created room for better communication between them as they raise their child.

Churchill has since moved on with his life and in 2021 introduced Rosy Meurer as his wife.

The couple welcomed their first child in March 2021 and later had a second child in October 2022.

In 2023, Churchill also dismissed rumours that his marriage to Meurer was facing challenges, stating that their relationship remained stable.
