Olakunle Churchill, the ex-husband of Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh, has send a special message to all fathers, praying that their children will not used as a tool of jealousy for a failed relationship.
The 37-year-old whose marriage to Tonto ended in 2017, made the statement on Sunday when he shared a Fathers’ Day message to himself on Instagram.
He said that a father will always be a father irrespective of marital challenges which according to him, does not define a father.
Churchill noted that being a father is not only by fathering a child, but it also means taking care of children around you and those that are in great need.
He then prayed that children of this era won’t be used as a tool of jealousy for a failed relationship against their fathers.
“Happy Fathers’ Day to all the fathers in the world. A father is a father irrespective of marital challenges.
“A father is not only by way of giving birth to a child; but by way of taking caring of children around you, and children around the world who are in need.
“I pray for all the fathers in the world that your child/children will not be used as a tool of jealousy, because of broken relationships like it’s done in the old Era.
“As I celebrate this day, I pray this won’t be the era when single parenting ends up affecting a child/ children’s mentality thereby confusing them.
“This is a new Era and things have changed. Relax, you’ll reconnect with your child at the right time. You Are A father! We Are Fathers!! I Am A Father!!! Happy Father’s Day To You!”
