Tonto Dikeh, a Nollywood actress, has revealed that divorcing her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, was the best move she has ever done.
She said this while relaying advice she provided to another single mother.
The single mother had privately contacted her over Instagram DM, enquiring how she was able to manage after her ex abandoned her and their son.
In response, the actress clarified that she had left the marriage for the sake of herself and her son, not the other way around.
Dikeh wrote: âFirst and foremost, it was my decision to leave my marriage, not the other way around. I needed to get out of a bad environment, not just for myself, but also for my child. âBest decision Iâve ever made.â
She advised the woman that she has the ability to become the person she wants to be if she commits to growth and invests in herself.
Dikeh shared the letter on her Instagram page, writing, âDear single mothers, I donât have a manual for these things. I am not an advocate for this movement.
âMy greatest teacher has been love. I just let God do his thing, which is sufficient for me. Draw strength from God, and keep your family affairs private.â
According to Bmmblog, Tonto Dikeh and Churchillâs marriage ended in 2017 because to charges of infidelity and domestic abuse.
The marriage resulted in one kid, a male.
Despite their divorce, Tonto continues to hound him on social media, accusing him of being a deadbeat parent.
In his defence, Churchill claimed that the actress refused him access to their son.
