A resurfaced throwback video of Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has reignited discussions about her failed marriage to businessman Olakunle Churchill. In the trending clip, Dikeh opens up about funding their relationship and expresses deep regret, describing herself as “the biggest scam” her ex-husband ever encountered.
Dikeh's Revelations
In the video, Dikeh alleges that Churchill never added value to her life. She claims she lost money clothing, feeding, and supporting him throughout their relationship. According to her, Churchill was completely broke during their time together, and she often tried to present him in a favorable light so he could secure job opportunities.
“Churchill never added any value to my life… I lost money marrying him, clothing him, and spending on him. He was totally broke the whole time we dated,” Dikeh says in the clip. She also recounts how Churchill begged her to introduce him publicly as “Mr. X,” despite not being the source of the lavish gifts she flaunted online at the time. Those gifts, she clarifies, came from a previous relationship.
Context of the Resurfaced Video
The throwback footage comes amid rumors that Churchill and his current wife, Rosy Meurer, are facing a marital crisis. This development follows a recent reconciliation between Dikeh and Churchill after years of discord and a custody battle over their son. The resurfaced video has sparked a wave of reactions from social media users, with many defending Dikeh while others criticize Churchill.
