In other news….A Nigerian man has stirred conversation online after sharing his reaction to the reported reconciliation between Olakunle Churchill and his ex-wife, actress Tonto Dikeh.
On Facebook, he expressed surprise that Churchill could forgive Tonto Dikeh so quickly, considering their history of public disputes, legal battles, and social media confrontations.
For background, the couple’s marriage ended in 2017 amid allegations of infidelity, domestic issues, and other controversies. Tonto Dikeh had accused Churchill of cheating and raised concerns about his personal conduct in interviews.
After their separation, Churchill initiated several lawsuits against the actress, including a N500 million case related to contentious media statements and alleged document forgery.
Despite years of conflict, recent updates indicate that the former couple has reunited, reportedly for the well-being of their son, King Andre, after nearly a decade apart.
Videos of Andre reuniting with his father, with Tonto Dikeh present, quickly circulated online. The actress referred to the moment as a “divine restoration.”
Reacting to the reconciliation, the man wrote: “Seriously, some men are the reason why women do not take marriage very serious. So after everything that Tonto did, Churchill is still hugging her and crying ontop. Hah! This was a lady that called him ‘small pweek’ on social media, ‘2 minutes man,’ and accused him of low performance in the other room.”
“I will advise him to just collect his son and concentrate on his real wife, Rosey. Tonto is former wife please,” he added.
