I Married Tonto To Save Her – Churchill

Published

on

More details are emerging from Tonto Dikeh and Olakunle Churchill’s marriage.  Churchill has come out to say he is no longer interested in the relationship since all Tonto wants to do is spoil his name. “I married Tonto to save her”.
Speaking in a recent interview, he said he did not understand why the actress and his ex-wife have suddenly become friend’s adding that both women have had serious problems with his mother.
On his first marriage being a mistake, he explained that his first wife and marriage was a mistake, he was rushed into it. “We had only dated for 6-weeks before we did something in her church; there was no registry or court.  We didn’t even go through the normal process of counselling and all that. Like I said, we had only dated for 6 weeks, I only got to know later that the church thing we did was fast tracked, it was a fake marriage. We had separated for 2 years and 7 months before I met Tonto.  The priest from the church said the marriage was wrong and should be annulled but she insisted on getting paper works when Tonto started with her Mr X Saga”.
On Tonto dressing like a man to their son’s school he said, “that is the main reason why I was trying to make it work, because she does some things that are not normal at all, and only someone close to her can save her because she needs help. It’s been 7-months now and all she’s been doing is to give me a bad name.  She makes it look like I don’t care about my son. I help other kids, so why will I ignore my son?
“Since my son got back to the country when he was four months, I opened a Zenith Bank account for him and his mum is the sole signatory to that account, I put money in that account regularly, I send money to her own account as well and she won’t even acknowledge the money when she gets it, but she goes on saying I don’t take care of my son”.
On Tonto and his ex-wife being “sudden friends”  he stressed that what they are doing is planned” I see they have been liking each other’s posts on instagram and the way Tonto operates is this, if she wants to bring you down she’ll be friends with your enemy, she fights so hard.
But the truth is they both had issues with my mum and I don’t understand why my wife will not respect my mum”.
On his relationship with Tonto being a mistake he declared. “Yes it was and I knew I was going into danger, but I was ready to go into it to save her, but right now I don’t care anymore, I’m done, I can’t deal with it any more, I don’t want the relationship anymore. She says I borrowed money from her and I’m like how? Where is the evidence?, At least I gave her 10 million naira last Christmas and I have proof of payment, so if she borrowed me money, she should prove it”.
“All these kind of negativity comes from someone who said she fasted for 21 days before she met me, someone who said I brought her closer to God, so where is God in this situation and the way she wants my downfall?”

Jewel Environmental Initiative (JEI), a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), has commended President Bola Tinubu for inaugurating the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, urging Nigerians and stakeholders to support the initiative nationwide.
Mr Ismail Bima, Chief Executive Officer of JEI, said in a statement in Gombe yesterday that the tour would significantly strengthen public understanding of climate change and encourage collective environmental responsibility.
Bima described the initiative as a clear affirmation of the Federal Government’s commitment to pursuing practical solution driven strategies that addressed climate challenges and safeguarded livelihoods, ecosystems, and national development efforts.
He noted that the programme would achieve its objectives if government institutions, private organisations, civil society groups, and citizens actively played their respective roles in promoting awareness, resilience, and sustainable practices.
According to him, the inauguration marks an important step toward building a nationwide movement capable of delivering measurable progress in Nigeria’s broader efforts to secure a climate resilient future for generations.
He said JEI fully aligned with the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, noting that the initiative could inspire innovation, strengthen environmental education, and promote sustainable development across communities nationwide.
Bima also commended the Minister of Environment and urged federal, state, and local stakeholders to support the initiative, stressing that climate change impacts affected all citizens regardless of region or status.
He emphasised that growing climate pressures on agriculture, livelihoods, and ecosystems made the awareness tour timely, adding that stronger information sharing and partnerships were necessary to confront environmental risks nationwide.
He urged authorities to implement the initiative with sustained commitment, extend activities to grassroots communities, and collaborate with state and local governments to ensure wider participation and maximum impact nationwide effectively.
The Tide source reports that President Tinubu inaugurated the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour in Abuja on Tuesday to promote climate resilience and sustainable development nationwide initiatives.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.

Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.

“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.

“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.

Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.

The Tide Entertainment reports that  Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.

The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
