Controversial Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has finally forgiven her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, for the sake of their child, King Andre.
The couple managed to remain sworn enemies since they became estranged after the birth of their son, King Andre.
It all started when Dikeh accused Churchill of domestically abusing her and then of infidelity and unfaithfulness. The year-long fight has featured many episodes with twists and turns.
In a recent interview with journalist, Dele Momodu, the actress disclosed that she has forgiven her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, for the sake of their child adding that she has come to realize that forgiveness is not about the next person but about oneself.
When asked about her attitude to forgiveness and vindictiveness, she said;
“A man I love and respect always, talked to me about forgiveness and I have come to realize that forgiveness is not about the next person.
I know that forgivessness is not about the next person but the explanation I got recently really wowed me.
It says I have forgiven you not because you have to be forgiven, I have forgiven you because I do not want to put myself in a place of stagnation when it comes to growth, I do not want to put myself in a place of stagnation when it comes to love, i do not want to put myself in a place of warship, progressing, my career.
Forgiveness is a whole lot and I only just realized that the bible says that if we do not forgive, God cannot forgive us. All these things are in the bible but it never really made an impact to me until someone really explained it.
So today I would tell you that for me it comes really easy. I forgive alot but I just don’t like to get provoked by the things that you do after it. I think forgiveness is an essential for ones growth”.
