Tonto Dikeh Rebuilds Family Harmony Through Faith and Forgiveness
Tonto Dikeh Rebuilds Family Harmony Through Faith and Forgiveness. Nollywood star and politician Tonto Dikeh reconciliation has captured widespread attention across Nigeria as the actress publicly shares her journey from bitterness to forgiveness. Following a landmark reunion with her former husband, Olakunle Churchill, Dikeh revealed on Sunday, January 25, 2026, that years of tension have finally given way to peace.
Speaking during an emotional service at Streams of Joy International, she credited her breakthrough to intense spiritual devotion and the “pure prayer of a child,” a force more powerful than any human intervention, including appeals from former presidents.
The turning point came through a 21 day fasting and prayer program led by Pastor Jerry Eze. Dikeh shared that her 10 year old son, King Andre, participated by writing his own prayer points during the first week of the fast. Among them, one simple yet profound prayer read: “God, I want the embassy to remove my passport,” unaware that it was actually held by his father.
Deeply moved, Dikeh surrendered the situation to God. Within 48 hours, Churchill voluntarily reached out to release all documents belonging to their son, including the long-withheld passport. Dikeh described this moment as a “miracle of 10 years in one day,” marking the end of a conflict that had lasted since their 2017 separation.
The reconciliation has transformed the family’s dynamics, ushering in a new era of co-parenting. Churchill expressed his gratitude on social media, recalling the joy of hearing his son call him “Daddy” after many years and praising Dikeh for her growth and resilience. The couple has now committed to raising King Andre with mutual respect and care.

By releasing toxic resentment, she has found a profound sense of peace. She encouraged others facing similar challenges to trust in divine timing and continue choosing love, highlighting that no story is ever truly over when placed in God’s hands.
