Popular actress Tonto Dikeh has stated that divorcing her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, was the best decision she had ever made.

She made these statements while advising a single mother who had reached out to her privately.

The single mother asked Tonto Dikeh how she was able to cope when her ex-husband left her alone with her son.

In response, the actress clarified that she was the one who left the marriage and not the other way around.

Dikeh wrote: “First and foremost, I was the one who chose to walk away from my marriage, not the other way around. I needed to escape a difficult situation, not just for my own sake, but for my child as well. Best decision I ever made.”

She advised the woman that she has the power to become the person she aspires to be as long as she commits to growth and invests in herself.

Sharing the message on her Instagram page, Dikeh wrote, “Dear single mothers, I don’t have a manual for these things. I am neither a pro in this movement.

“My biggest teacher has been love. I just let God do his thing, and his thing is enough for me. Draw strength from God, most especially keep your family matters private.”

Tonto Dikeh's marriage to Churchill crashed in 2017 over allegations of infidelity and domestic violence.

The marriage produced a son.
