By Tosin Brown

Eight months after ending her marriage due to alleged infidelity and domestic violence, Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has stated that leaving her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, was the best decision she has ever made.

In an Instagram direct message exchange with a single mother, Dikeh expressed that divorcing her ex-husband was necessary for her and her son’s well-being.

According to Dikeh, the single mother had privately reached out to her, asking how she managed to cope after her separation.

Responding to the woman, Dikeh clarified that she was the one who decided to leave the marriage, not the other way around.

“First and foremost, I was the one who chose to walk away from my marriage, not the other way around. I needed to escape a difficult situation, not just for my own sake, but for my child as well. Best decision I ever made,” Dikeh replied.

She further encouraged the woman, stating that she has the power to become the person she aspires to be as long as she commits to personal growth and invests in herself.

Sharing the message on her Instagram page, Dikeh wrote, “Dear single mothers, I don’t have a manual for these things. I am neither a pro in this movement.

“My biggest teacher has been love. I just let God do His thing, and His thing is enough for me. Draw strength from God, and most importantly, keep your family matters private.”
