I have forgiven my ex-husband for my Son’s sake – Tonto Dike

Nollywood Actress, Tonto Dike has revealed that she has forgiven her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill because of her Son, King Andre.

She shared this during an Instagram session with Dele Momodu adding that she has come to realise that forgiveness is not about the next person but one’s self as the Bible clearly stated that God will not forgive those who refuse to forgive others.
“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 Forgiveness 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, and 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 position of stagnation when it comes to love, i do not want to put myself in a place of worship, 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 on me until someone explained it.

“I think forgiveness is essential for one’s growth.”

When asked if she has forgiven her son’s father, Tonto responded that she has and wishes him the best.

“Oh yes, especially him. I forgive him and wish him the best, for my son’s sake. I do. Why not?”

She added that presently there is nobody she holds a grudge with but stressed that ‘there are people who she has forgiven but would never have a relationship with again.”
